Since Home Painters Toronto started doing interior and exterior residential painting over 34 years ago, we’ve been a part of a lot of kitchen renovations. That’s why I’m so excited to share these pictures and post these blogs with our customers. We have done some truly beautiful things to homes all over Toronto and the GTA.
As part of Kitchen Week on our blog, I wanted to show you one of my favourite kitchen renovations. You’ve probably seen some of the pictures so far, but that’s because they perfectly illustrate everything I love about interior residential painting.
Kitchen Renovations and Painting
We showed up at a Yorkville condo that really needed a makeover. This condo got tons of natural sunlight and had amazing views of downtown Toronto. But the kitchen was so dark and dull that it just sucked all that light right out.
The one thing it had going for it was this really cool brick wall detail on both sides of the kitchen. With the dark kitchen cabinets, the grey brick just looked dingy.
Finally, once we spray-painted spray painted the doors and drawers at our off-site spray facility, we put the cabinets back together again. That grey wall that had looked so shabby now looks sharp and chic. And we didn’t even touch it! This kitchen looked like it would need a lot of work to bring the light and warmth of the rest of the house in. But we repainted the kitchen in no time and gave it a completely new look.
The owners of the condo didn’t need to replace the flooring, appliance, cabinets, or countertops. All of which are costly and time-consuming renovations.
By just painting the kitchen cabinet and refreshing the walls and trim, we created a kitchen that is modern and chic. And also full of light and warmth.
How Can I Upgrade my Kitchen for an Affordable Price?
If you are looking to update your kitchen and want something that is affordable, then painting cabinets is a great option! Just like what we did in the condo above!
Painting cabinets is a budget-friendly way to give your kitchen a fresh new look. It is an easy process that can be completed by anyone with basic DIY skills and a little time on their hands. The only thing you need to do is choose the right colour.
Here are some tips to help you choose the right colour for your kitchen:
• Look at magazines and get inspiration from photos of kitchens that you like. Keep a notebook or Pinterest board where you save all of your favourite images!
• Consider the size, shape, and layout of your space when choosing a colour. For example, if it is long and narrow then bright colours may not be the best choice since they can make the space feel smaller. If you have dark wood flooring or counter tops then light-coloured cabinets will look great together!
• Consider the materials and finishes in your kitchen. If you have a lot of stainless steel appliances, then dark colours may not be the best choice since they can make it look smaller and more crowded.
• If your kitchen is large, then you can use a bold colour to create a focal point. While If the room is small, then consider using neutral colours like white or gray so they don’t make it feel even smaller.
Kitchen renovation cost
In terms of kitchen cabinet painting costs, the average cost in the Toronto area ranges between $2,500 and $3,500. The average kitchen cabinet door or drawer costs $85 – $125, while the average size kitchen includes 20 – 30 kitchen cabinet doors.
For larger kitchens with more cabinets, the overall cost of painting kitchen cabinets could range between $4,000 and $6,500. As you can see, it is by far the less expensive option when compared to the average cost of entirely replacing your kitchen cabinetry, which may range between $10,000 and $40,000!
Is it worth it to update your kitchen?
If you are planning to sell your home soon and want it to look amazing, then updating the kitchen can be a great idea. You can increase the value of your home by updating your kitchen. You can use the money from the sale of your house to pay for any upgrades. And then move into your dream home that has everything you want.
If you plan on staying in this house for many years, then consider making small changes that add up over time instead of doing a big renovation. If your kitchen is old and outdated, then it’s probably worth the investment to update it. However, if your kitchen is in good condition, then remodelling may not be the best choice since it can be costly and time-consuming.
