First of all, consider that you will only see the inside of your kitchen cabinet when you open the door. Most of the time, painting the face will suffice. Commonly, people choose not to paint Kitchen cabinets on the inside. Here are our top reasons you should not paint the interior of your kitchen cabinets.

• The inside is already protected. Did you know that generally the inside of your kitchen cabinets are already covered with laminate? The laminate, often is in neutral white and protects from scratching. If you decide to paint over the laminate, you will expose the interior door to unnecessary surface scratches.

• Be aware of high costs. If you paint both sides of your kitchen doors, each side will need to be painted individually and masking up in between coats will be required to stop any overspray. Cost will increase due to additional time taken, extra labour costs and more materials (paint and undercoat) required.

• The paint may damage. If we paint the interior of your kitchen doors, keep in mind that the paint may get chipped or damaged, due to being continually knocked or scratched from plates, glasses, pots etc. Your paint will be chipped in no time and we wouldn’t want that!

These are our reasons why we recommend painting the exterior of your kitchen doors only and avoid painting the inside. If you have questions concerning your kitchen, we are happy to help you make a good decision.
