Choosing the Best Kitchen Paint: Colors, Finishes & Styles
Selecting the best kitchen paint involves more than just picking paint colors. The right finish ensures durability, easy cleaning, and a smooth finish that lasts for years. At HELLO Painting, we use high-quality paint from trusted brands like Sherwin-Williams for walls and ceilings, and Benjamin Moore Advance for cabinet painting services. All our paints are water-based and low-VOC, making them safe for your home and family.
Here's what we recommend for different kitchen surfaces:
- Best paint for kitchen walls and ceiling is satin finish for easy cleaning and soft sheen.
- Best paint for kitchen units is semi-gloss sheen for durability on cabinet doors and drawer fronts.
- Benjamin Moore Advance for cabinet painting delivers a smooth, factory-like finish with no brush strokes.
- Low-VOC, water-based paints keep your kitchen space safe with minimal odor.
- Free Sherwin-Williams color consultation helps you find your desired color.
- Best paint for commercial kitchen walls features durable, washable finishes meeting industry standards.
Kitchen Repainting Transformations: See the Results
Nothing shows the power of kitchen repainting like seeing real transformations. Our professional painters have helped homeowners across Bellevue breathe new life into tired kitchens. From outdated wood cabinets painted white to walls refreshed with modern tones, every painting project delivers superior results.
One recent cabinet painting project involved refinishing existing cabinets with Benjamin Moore Advance, replacing old hardware with new, and repainting the walls and trim. The result was a bright, polished appearance that made the kitchen feel brand new. With extensive experience and attention to detail, our skilled team ensures that every job meets your expectations and enhances the overall aesthetic of your kitchen.
How Much Does Kitchen Painting Cost?
The kitchen painting cost depends on several factors, including the size of your kitchen space, ceiling height, number of cabinet doors, and the scope of work. At HELLO Painting, we provide a custom quote for every painting project so you know the total cost upfront with no hidden fees. Our pricing includes labor and materials for a hassle-free experience.
Factors that affect kitchen spraying cost and kitchen respray cost:
- Room size and square foot coverage: Larger kitchens require more paint and time.
- Cabinet painting project scope: More cabinets, doors, and drawer fronts increase cost.
- Prep work needed: Light sanding, patching, and priming affect the process.
- Number of paint colors: Multiple colors add complexity.
- Add-ons: New hardware, soft-close hinges, or kitchen cupboard respray services.
Typical timelines:
Here’s why our kitchen cabinet painting and refinishing services stand out:
- Walls, ceiling, and trim only: 1–2 days for most projects.
- Full kitchen including cabinet painting: About 1 week for an average kitchen.
- Large or complex kitchens: Up to 2 weeks for extensive kitchen unit spraying.
Save money tip: Bundling your kitchen with a whole-house interior painting project is 25–35% more cost-effective than scheduling separate jobs.
Wall Painting vs. Cabinet Painting: What's the Difference?
Whether you need kitchen spraying for cabinets or a simple wall refresh, our kitchen cabinet painters tailor the painting process to your needs. Cabinet painting is a labor-intensive process but delivers a high-quality finish that rivals new cabinets at a fraction of the cost.

Common Myths About Hiring a Kitchen Painting Contractor
- Touch-ups are enough to refresh my kitchen
Professional painters paint walls corner to corner for a seamless, even finish. Spot touch-ups often look patchy and uneven over time.
- Cabinet doors are taken off-site for spraying
At HELLO Painting, all kitchen unit spraying happens on-site in a protected spray area, never at an off-site facility.
- Paint fumes make the house unlivable
We use low-VOC, water-based paints with minimal odor. Most homeowners stay home comfortably during the job.
- Cabinet refinishing and cabinet painting are the same
Cabinet refinishing involves stripping and staining wood. We offer cabinet painting only, not refinishing projects or cabinet refacing.
- DIY painting delivers the same results
Without proper prep, spray equipment, and high-quality paints, DIY jobs often show brush strokes and uneven coverage. Hiring a professional kitchen painter ensures durability and a smooth finish.
- Painting cabinets is a quick, few-hour job
A proper cabinet painting process is time-consuming, involving removal, labeling, spraying, and reinstallation to ensure durability and first-class results.
