Should I Paint that? The Insides of Kitchen Cabinets
Painting the interior of your cabinets is not much different from painting the exterior. First, determine the material your cabinets are made of. Are they wood, laminate, or metal? And what condition are they in? Typically, wood is easier to paint than laminate or metal because paint adheres to wood surfaces much better than harder, slicker surfaces. Determining the material and condition of your cabinets will tell you what type of paint you will need, and how much work it will take to prepare the surfaces for that paint.

The Power of Paint in the Kitchen
The kitchen is typically one of the most lived-in rooms in the house. Many people enter the kitchen first thing in the morning to cook breakfast and go straight to the kitchen when they get home from work to prepare dinner. Kitchens can be a communal space for people to gather as they cross paths throughout a day or a place to eat a relaxed meal when you don’t want to set the dining room table. In smaller homes, kitchens might not be large enough for people to want to spend time in but even then, members of a household are in and out of the kitchen several times throughout any given day. Additionally, many kitchen formats are open in some way to the rest of the house and could be visible from the dining room or the living room. So, it stands to reason that an outdated kitchen could decrease your level of comfort in your home, not to mention potentially decrease the value of your home when it comes time to sell.
