Identify materials to be used

Here is a look at the steps that have to be completed in order to paint your bathroom cabinets. The first step involves identifying the materials that you need to use. It also makes sense to select a paint color that complements the walls of your bathroom and in addition also works with your flooring and countertop.

White is a popular color

White is a color that is very popular and it is also a classic color that gives your bathroom a clean look. A white colored cabinet will complement almost every color and it can go well with a dark colored granite countertop as well. If a more casual look is desired then it makes sense to paint the cabinet in white and the walls should be painted pale blue or even green. One can also accent with some well-chosen accessories, especially the ocean oriented ones including colorful framed fish prints and the like.

Green color is also very popular

Green colored bathroom cabinets are also a very popular option. A mossy green is a color that suits most bathrooms and it helps to make your bathroom standout, especially if you also have a brown colored countertop in the bathroom. Green and brown are colors that complement each other and so are a perfect choice in most bathrooms. One can also finish the green colored cabinet with white colored or even black colored porcelain hardware as together they will give your countertop a timeless look. To make things look more modern, why not use silver colored shiny hardware?

Red and black for bathroom cabinets

Red and black are two other colors that one should consider for painting one’s bathroom cabinets. They would help to create an Asian themed bathroom and at the same time they also make the bathroom look more dramatic. Red and black in combination are colors that are very bold and appealing. It makes sense to paint the bathroom cabinets in glossy dark red in contrast with a black colored countertop. A dark colored floor will help to make your bathroom look very appealing and dramatic. It also pays to paint the boxes in the cabinet in red while the doors can be painted black. This will make your cabinets really stand out.

Before painting your bathroom cabinets, be sure to remove their doors and paint these separately. It also makes sense to use a nice cleaning agent to clean the surfaces before applying the primer and paint. A good paintbrush or paint roller should be used to do the painting. There are many dazzling arrays of color options to choose from. When painting bathroom cabinets, be sure to start with the inside and paint outwards which means painting the inside of the cabinet doors first and then the main body can be painted. Finally, paint the outside of the cabinet and use a second coat of paint to obtain desired results.
