These before and after projects show how dramatically a quality kitchen can be transformed with specialist preparation and painting.
Many quality kitchens can be transformed.
Oak, pine, MDF, handmade, previously painted and many laminate kitchens can be suitable for professional painting when prepared correctly.
Solid Timber Kitchens
Oak, pine and handmade kitchens are often excellent candidates because the cabinetry is usually worth preserving.
Previously Painted Kitchens
Existing coatings need careful assessment so adhesion, wear and surface condition can be dealt with properly.
Modern Fitted Kitchens
Many modern kitchens can be painted with the right preparation, primers and product system.

Traditional Painter members regularly paint kitchens in soft whites, warm neutrals, heritage blues, sage greens, classic greys and dramatic dark shades.
Light neutral kitchens remain a timeless choice because they create a bright and welcoming space. Blue kitchens continue to be one of the most requested colours thanks to their versatility and depth, while green kitchens bring warmth and character to both traditional and modern homes.
Grey kitchens offer a balanced and understated look that works beautifully with timber, stone and contrasting island colours. Two-tone kitchens are increasingly popular for homeowners looking to combine lighter cabinetry with a darker feature island or statement colour.
