Choosing Between Paint or Stain for Your Cabinet Finish

The aesthetics of a kitchen cabinet largely depends on the finish. There are two options to choose from, namely paint and stain. Nuss Construction Company, the top kitchen remodeling company in our local area, has many years of experience, and we’ve completed many successful kitchen remodeling projects. We understand the perks of both kinds of finish.

Stained Cabinets

Stain provides a good balance between color and texture, and showcases the wood’s natural character. It is thinner than paint, and it seeps into the cabinet’s surface, allowing you to easily admire the wood’s distinctive features. Stained cabinets are also simple to touch up, and the touch-ups typically blend great with the existing color. Stain is also quite affordable. Choose stain if you have wood cabinets that have excellent natural features that you want to highlight.

Painted Cabinets

Paint is an excellent choice if you want a crisp kitchen design. As one of the top kitchen remodelers in our area, we suggest using paint if you want a sleek, clean finish for your kitchen. Paint is thicker than stain, so it hides the character flaws of the wood, creating a clean aesthetic for your kitchen cabinets. Paint is also your best bet if you want a colorful kitchen. It allows you to showcase whatever hue you select for your kitchen. Since paint comes in a rainbow of colors, it will also allow you to express your creativity.

Medium-density fiberboard cabinets are one way to make your kitchen remodel more affordable. This material takes paint well, which is why an MDF cabinet will look nearly identical to a wood cabinet once both are painted. Before using paint, however, you need to keep a few things in mind. Painted cabinets are often harder to touch up, and they tend to cost more than stained cabinets. However, they are worth the investment if you value a flawless appearance for your kitchen.
