Checklist: Cabinet Painting Or Cabinet Staining

Okay, it’s decision time…are you going to have your cabinets painted or stained?

Because the cost of painting cabinets and staining cabinets is similar, the decision will probably boil down to your personal choice. One person’s pro (e.g. painted cabinets look more modern) may be another person’s con.

In order to help you make the best decision, we’ve provided a list of the primary features of cabinet painting and cabinet staining below.

Features Of Cabinet Painting
Below are the top reasons to paint your kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, or other built-in cabinetry.

• you can choose any paint color you want – the options are limitless
• painted cabinets (particularly lighter colors) hide dust better than stained cabinets
• paint will hide the features and grain of the wood
• paint will hide the look of wood
• painting tends to look more modern than stain
• painting can help disguise cheap cabinets, because it covers the characteristics of the wood
• painting can completely transform the look of dated, oak cabinets that are found in so many Denver area homes

Features Of Cabinet Staining
Below are the top reasons to stain your kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, or other built-in cabinetry.

• you can choose from different stain colors
• stained cabinets can look more traditional
• stained cabinets can highlight the features and grain of the wood
