How to paint kitchen cabinets

There's a lot to do in the modern kitchen: you cook and eat here and spend a lot of time here, so when designing or remodeling your kitchen you should consider both beauty and practicality.

The chemists at Little Greene have developed a color finish for exactly this. Our painting Intelligent Satinwood is the ideal finish for kitchen cabinets. The paint dries to a beautiful satin finish, providing the doors and wooden elements in your kitchen with protection, durability and a velvety touch without being too shiny. So you don't have to choose between beauty and practicality - choose your favorite Little Greene shade and rest assured the paint will withstand the wear and tear of a modern family home.

Painting tips from our experts

  1. Paint the panels in even strokes in the same direction as the grain.
  2. For flat kitchen doors, we recommend a roller with a cover made of short-pile wool for a beautiful result.
  3. For structured surfaces, choose a slightly longer pile to ensure an even and thorough application of paint.
  4. Make sure to make all brush strokes in the same direction at the end and to always keep the edges moist.
  5. Never paint over paint that has already dried, as this will result in unsightly transitions.
