The heart of the home and a typical gathering, hosting and everyday living area, the kitchen is a space people typically spend a lot of time. If your kitchen is crying for a makeover, one simple and fairly low cost change you can make in a weekend is painting the cabinets. A fresh coat of primer and paint can completely transform your kitchen, whether you want an airy and light feel or an intimate and stylish look.<\/p>\n<p>The first place to start when refreshing your kitchen cabinets is with proper prep work. Primer is key in a kitchen painting project, and the professionals often use a mildew resistant primer like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/primer\/kilz-kitchen-bath\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KILZ<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Kitchen &amp; Bath<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/primer\/kilz-premium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KILZ<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> 3 Premium<\/a>.\u00a0 Once you\u2019ve prepped and primed, it\u2019s time for color! Kitchen cabinets are a great canvas for a wide range of colors, from light to dark neutrals to pops of color like blues and greens. With so many options it was a challenge to narrow down our top picks, but we landed on three different color combinations that are a winning recipe for a beautiful kitchen cabinet makeover.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6852\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2019\/09\/2_Small_styled_by_color_september_v1-1500x1000-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2_Small_styled_by_color_september_v1-1500x1000-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/2_Small_styled_by_color_september_v1-1500x1000-1-768x366.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6853\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2019\/09\/3_swatch_image_styled_by_color_september-980x1474-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"996\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3_swatch_image_styled_by_color_september-980x1474-1.png 996w, https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/3_swatch_image_styled_by_color_september-980x1474-1-768x376.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Our first pick is a timeless neutral, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kilz.com\/color\/contemporary-white-TB-02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Contemporary White<\/a>.
