The kitchen is usually the busiest room in a house, so it’s not surprising that after time it can start to look less than pristine. In any busy family home kids and pets can all contribute to the bumps and scratches, and natural wear and tear that happens in the kitchen.
If your kitchen hasn’t been renewed for some time you might already be thinking of replacing it with a new one. But the cost of a new replacement kitchen can be very expensive and many people will wonder if they can avoid shelling out for a new kitchen and refurbish the existing one instead. With this in mind, the obvious question is: Can you paint kitchen cabinets?
Can Kitchen Doors & Cabinets Be Repainted?
The answer is an emphatic yes! Just as the walls, floor and ceiling can all be refinished, so too can the kitchen doors and cabinets. In fact, we have been repainting kitchen cabinets since 1991 and have developed the most convenient and cost-effective alternative to purchasing a brand new kitchen.
A Professional Finish
Although it is possible to apply paint to kitchen doors and cupboards with a brush we wouldn’t recommend it. Spray painting gives a far higher quality finish and using our expert methods and specialist paints will give your kitchen a fresh and bright ‘as new’ showroom appearance which not only looks good but is durable too.
You can, of course, paint your kitchen cabinets yourself if you have the determination and necessary DIY skills. But just like plastering a ceiling or rebuilding a brick wall, there is often more to the job than might at first be appreciated.
Don’t invite toxic chemicals into your home!
Apart from the fact that it can be difficult to apply paint effectively to kitchen cabinets, it is vital that the correct type of paint should be used as certain spray paints contain toxic chemicals which can be dangerous when used in the home. At Matt Finish we use only paint that is safe for use in the home and will never use a cheaper, potentially hazardous alternative.
What About The Existing Door Materials?
One question we are often asked is: Can you paint oak kitchen doors?
The materials that a kitchen is made from will obviously contribute to the finished appearance when the paint is applied. The techniques we have perfected are effective for the vast majority of materials. Solid wooden kitchen doors are no exception. When prepared properly, oak kitchen doors will take on a beautiful new personality that can really make a kitchen stand out.

The conclusion is that you can indeed paint kitchen cabinets, but do you want to? When considering any major home refurbishment, it is almost always best to get the experts to take care of things. After all, they have the experience and know-how so will be aware of any potential pitfalls.
