Cabinet painting
Kitchen cabinet transformation
The project brief
Design intent meets surface reality.
The challenge
The cabinetry needed a lighter overall feeling without losing contrast against stone counters, stainless appliances, and warm oak floors.
The approach
How we would plan the work.
A durable, cohesive result starts with the order of operations—not just the final color.
- 01
Label and remove doors, drawers, and hardware systematically
- 02
Clean, sand, repair, and prime for the existing cabinet material
- 03
Use cool white at the perimeter to reflect natural light
- 04
Finish the island in navy for durable visual contrast
The finish strategy
A palette with a purpose.
The representative concept keeps the room bright and classic while the navy island adds depth, structure, and a subtle connection to the DS West palette.
