Interior designer and DIY doyenne Evette Ríos loves a punch of color at home, and sees her circa-1796 house as a place to experiment and try new things. Her bright green kitchen cabinets are just one example—but after living with the hue for a few years, she was ready to change it up. And a new coat of paint is one of the quickest, most impactful ways to refresh a space.
She went with Sherwin Williams Emerald® Designer Edition™ paint collection for its easy-to-clean, flawless finish as well as its formula—it’s a luxury paint and primer all in one. Her decision to paint the walls and the upper cabinets the same color, Ghosted SW 9545, gives continuity to the room and keeps the focus on the lower cabinets, painted in Leaflet SW 9674, Hidden Trail SW 9525, and Perfect Khaki SW 9612.
While painting cabinets can be intimidating at the outset, all you need to do is set aside a little time, arm yourself with the right tools, and have a plan. And using the right technique is key to your project's longevity and looks. To learn more follow along with Ríos above as she shares her guide to painting kitchen cabinets.
