Hey friends,
If you've been following me on Instagram, you know we just gave our kitchen and dining area a full makeover: new paint, fresh wallpaper, and all. One question has come up more than any other:
“What’s the best paint and finish for kitchen cabinets?”
Well, this topic is hands-down one of the most visited post on the blog, and for good reason!
Picking the right paint type and sheen isn’t just about style, it’s about surviving life in the kitchen. Cabinets take a beating — think cooking splatters, sticky fingers, and daily use. So picking a paint that’s both durable and beautiful is non-negotiable.
Here’s a peek at what you’ll find in the post:
- Compare Paint Types - Oil vs Latex vs. Hybrid Enamel
- Sheen Explained - Matte vs. Satin vs. Semi Gloss vs. High Gloss
- Prep + Primer Tips - Skipping this could lead to chipping paint
- Paint Tools - Spray or Roll?
Whether you’re planning a kitchen refresh or curious about professional-level finishes, this guide is your new best friend.
Until next time,
Fariha
