Painted Kitchen Cabinets and The popular Kitchen Cabinet Colors and Designer Faux Finishes

Painted Kitchen Cabinets, Kitchen Cabinet Colors and Designer Faux Finishes: These are the most popular kitchen cabinet colors and designer faux finishes for this Fall. Adding Painted Kitchen Cabinets to your kitchen is a very low cost way to do a kitchen remodel and gives it a great makeover! Get advice from a Decorator, not hardware store, to add the most value to your kitchen decorating décor.

There are other important considerations that will be discussed on other pages, but here we will discuss the most popular colors for painted kitchen cabinets.
As a professional faux finisher and decorator, I have helped many clients with the selection of paint colors for rooms and, as to be discussed here, KITCHEN CABINET colors. Many decorative designer faux finish options are available to make your painted kitchen cabinets look like pieces of furniture.

There are some exceptions, but this will guide most homeowners with good color theory. This is particularly important for resale value.
The Best Kitchen Cabinet (and furniture) paint, in my professional opinion, is from Faux Effects International. They make a product called “Set Coat” which is available in 40 colors. I have used this product and custom mixed it for the most popular color choices. These formulas are available in the recipe, do-it-yourself section. See this section DYI Finishes for more details on this product. Glazing these colors creates even more color combinations for the best kitchen cabinet colors.

Light Colored Kitchen Cabinets

Light Tones of Painted Kitchen Cabinets

These are the light winners of 2009 leading into 2010:

Made from Faux Effects International products:

Linen – creamy white which is subtle enough difference from white to be seen, but not so drastic that you would have to change nearby molding and trim.

Chamois – Soft whipped butter (not margarine) color, is beautiful for warmer tones

Vanilla Onyx – Beautiful Vanilla with a hint toward the grey/brown hue developed to accent other wood tones

Creamy Mocha – That soft light color that swirls around in travertine; developed to be the perfect companion

Lace – a soft, shimmery slightly metallic with rare combination of contemporary and old world at the same time

Paint Color Winners- Sherwin Williams Alabaster, Sherwin Williams Kilm Beige, Sherwin Williams Macadamia and Benjamin Moore - Oat Straw.

Medium Colored Kitchen Cabinets

Chilled Latte – A luscious combinations of gray, cream and layers of warm glazes

Euro Coffee – the ultimate Chocolate Color that is soft, and coordinates with travertine, and many granite colors. AN excellent Kitchen Island Choice

Antique Parchment – Soft medium golden color with marble qualities

Champagne – Luscious combination of silver and gold, stunning and an awesome kitchen island color

Benjamin Moore HC86 – Kingsport Gray – deep beautiful Gray

Sherwin Williams – Restrained Gold – The color for kings, this majestic warm golden paint color is perfect in Tuscan design.

Dark Colored Kitchen Cabinets

Java Bronze – the most scrumptious bronze ever with dark “oil rubbed” bronze qualities while also classic wood tone feel.

Blackened – The equivalent the “little black dress” for the kitchen and home. Every home should have a piece this color. Cabinets are bold, island is stunning, and desks are perfection in this slightly glazed version of Earth’s basic neutral – black.

Antiqued Silver – classic silver with coats of glaze to offer a deepened love for this magnificent mineral. A perfect kitchen cabinet paint color companion to stainless steel appliances.

Pewter Metal – the contemporary kitchen staple is a combination of beautiful grey silver with the metallic upgrade to coordinate with sleek metal accessory option. Try it with Kitchenaide’s new Blackened Stainless steel.

Red Barn, a personal favorite. Lovers of brick and warm colors will drool for Red Barn. A deep rustic red only found in something that has aged and been love worn with memories. Easy to do, and just looks old! Classic island color. Must have somewhere in your home!

Weathered Tuscan – my favorite wood tone that is actually a painted finish, Not for the faint at heart, as it has many steps of glazing, distressing and handiwork. It is “bite your knuckles” magnificent. The most spectacular kitchen island choice. It is a stunning painted cabinet choice also. All of these painted kitchen cabinet choices are water based and earth friendly. No Oil based, bad for the environment options, are suggested in our selections. There are only two situations that oil based primer should be used. See the know your Surfaces and Preparations.
