Kitchen paint requires selections that are hard working and focus on stain and grease resistance as well as wash ability. Practical choices include durable paints that feature low sheen, semi-gloss or gloss sheens.

Depending upon your individual color preferences, kitchens offer an ideal opportunity to let your color imagination soar! For those homeowners that prefer bright colors, kitchens offer a blank canvas for applying colorful paint and wallpaper border combinations to wall coverings. Add new life to worn or dated cabinets by applying a complementary paint color to update the existing appearance.

The kitchen represents a venue for an unlimited number of ways to incorporate unique color within the space! Consider coordinating a decorative paint treatment, such as ragging, combing, etc. with a contemporary wallpaper border. Or, if you love the look of decorative paint but lack the time to complete such a project, explore the possibility of adding a "faux" wallpaper border (that mimics decorative paint techniques) to a painted, solid color wall.
