Before / After Kitchen Painting

Before and after: Kitchen painting

Before

• Walls and trim show years of wear: scuffs, grease stains near the stove, and faded areas from sunlight.

• Cabinets look dated or mismatched. Original finishes are dulled, hardware may be tarnished or loose.

• Colour palette is uneven — dark or busy tones making the space feel smaller and less inviting.

• Ceilings and crown moulding have accumulated dust and minor cracks; paint is peeling in spots near moisture sources.

• Doors and window frames have nicks and chipped paint.

• Overall impression: cluttered or tired, lacking cohesion and brightness, with visible surface imperfections.

After

• Walls refreshed with a clean, durable finish that resists grease and is easy to wipe down. Lighter, neutral colours open up the space and reflect more natural light.

• Cabinets repainted or refinished for a uniform, modern look — popular choices include soft whites, greys, navy, or muted greens. New or polished hardware completes the update.

• Trim, moulding, and ceilings repainted in crisp white or coordinating tones for a finished appearance
