There’s more than one finish for cabinets and maybe you didn’t know this, but you can actually choose what finish is the one you desire, and which is the best finish for your kitchen and the interior design.
When you plan on painting your cabinets, ask the company you hired about the finishes and special touches you can get, research all about the topic as well, and find the one you are looking for.
STAIN CABINET FINISHES.
If you are going for a wood type of cabinet for your bathroom or kitchen then a stained cabinet might be what you are looking for. If you are familiar with stain then you might know that this finish lets the wood grain show, giving your house a more natural look.
Let’s say you are looking for a darker color but you like the stain finish on cabinets, well...good news! Stain comes in a variety of tones, some are slightly lighter than others which is why it is the best option if you like wood and natural looks.
LAMINATE CABINET FINISHES.
This type of finish gives you some advantages. It is called laminate because this finish includes a thin layer of laminate on wood cabinets giving you the opportunity to clean them using other chemicals and cleaning solutions.
These cabinets are resistant to any type of scratches and harsh cleaning with solutions. They are durable and you don't have to worry about denting them. They come in gloss and textured finishes which are super beneficial.
GLAZED FINISHES.
Gloss can be applied over paint and stain finishes, this gives them a better texture and looks by adding depth and a dimensional view. It can be used in many different ways to make your cabinets look slightly different.
Always remember there is a different process for each glazed cabinet technique and how you are applying it over the surface and they might produce different results.
PAINTED CABINETS.
Paint gives you a ton more freedom when choosing colors, but remember there’s a certain criterion to follow. You can’t really paint over a cabinet with a grain texture on the surface or some heavy patterns. It is often used on wood cabinets.
OPAQUE CABINET FINISHES.
This idea of cabinets is made for those who like the natural and normal wood cabinets or even stained cabinets giving you the opportunity to choose the color.
The opaque finish on cabinets allows the grain on it to expose a little showing the natural beauty of wood and adding a nice color over it of your choice.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, one thing you should always do before painting and designing your cabinets is research about the options you have and talk to the company you hired to make a decision.
