Say Goodbye To Your 1980’s Kitchen
Ok, there were lots of fun things about the 1980’s… kitchen design wasn’t one of them however. Bland and generic wooden cabinets without drawer pulls seemed to be the order of the day. The great thing about wood is that it can be painted!

White has generally been the go-to color for kitchen cabinet painting. It is still a great choice for many homeowners and can really brighten a kitchen. The modern style has introduced quite a palette to choose from, however, and lots of great color ideas to go with current color trends.
Dark contrasting grays paired with light walls. Light mint green cabinets with white accents, or soft blues and even shades of yellow.

Other Ideas For Updating Your Kitchen
Kitchen cabinet painting might have the most dramatic impact on the look of your kitchen. However, here are some other ideas you may consider for updating the style:
- Adding Cabinet Pulls – Installing some pulls or changing your existing pulls is an easy way to make the style look more current.
- Install Molding On The Doors – Smooth-faced and boring cabinet doors can be easily updated by some molding to the front of the doors.
- Add Corbels To Bottom Of Cabinets – A simple way to alter the style of your cabinets before painting. Don’t know what a corbel is? Here are some corbel ideas to get you started.
- Install Trim Or Crown Moulding – Consider putting some trim or crown molding on the tops of cabinets, especially if there is space between the top of the cabinet and the ceiling.
- Adding Bead-board And A Chair Rail – Installing bead-board (also called wainscoting) and a chair rail on kitchen walls adds depth and detail. We’ve also seen bead-board used for back-splashes, cabinet doors, kitchen islands, and even ceilings.
- A Kitchen Island With Contrast – Add bead-board around an island or paint it a contrasting color than the other kitchen cabinets to set it off from the other cabinets.
- Remove The Popcorn Ceiling – Nothing dates a kitchen or house quite like a popcorn ceiling. Removing the popcorn ceiling from your kitchen is a great place to start.
- Change The Lighting – This could be as simple as changing the light fixtures in the kitchen. You can also add some can lights, a couple of drop-down pendant lights over a bar or island, or some under-cabinet lighting for dramatic effect.
