Painting the inside of cabinets is a common decision for homeowners looking to create a finished and cohesive look. However, it is not necessary to paint every surface inside the cabinet. High-quality paints like Kilz latex or oil-based paints are recommended for this purpose. Latex paints dry quickly with low VOC levels, while oil-based enamels are more durable and offer a better finish.
The decision to paint the inside of kitchen cabinets depends on personal preference and the state of the cabinets. Most cabinets are left unpainted, but the practical effect of having painted or unpainted interiors is significant. To apply paint, use a smooth-surface mini roller and cover the brush and roller with plastic bags to prevent hardening.
Some homeowners opt to paint the upper cabinets a color that suits the backsplash, while others do it to add an aesthetic appeal. Most painters do not spray the insides of cabinets unless specifically requested by the customer or if the cabinets have no doors. Painting the insides of cabinets is not a common practice, as most cabinets are already stained or sealed to protect against damage.
If you are tempted to remove or replace doors, paint the interiors of cabinets visible through door glass the same color as the outside. The specialists from Dianella Polishing recommend avoiding painting the inside of cabinets white, as it can take over two hours of time per cabinet door or drawer.
In general, if the inside of cabinets is visible, it is usually recommended to paint them the same color inside and out. This helps reduce clutter and makes cleaning easier.
