If you’re painting your kitchen cabinets to fit your farmhouse vision, consider light, muted colors that create a fresh and airy atmosphere. Soft whites are timeless options that give off a clean look in a farmhouse kitchen. Warm grays can add depth and sophistication to farmhouse cabinets while still maintaining a neutral tone. Subtle greens can evoke a sense of nature in the space, pairing well with dark woods and fresh-cut flowers.

A combination deglosser and cleaner can help minimize the amount of sanding necessary when painting laminate cabinets and other surfaces. Deglosser is excellent for use on heavily detailed surfaces where sandpaper can't reach evenly or at all. While some DIYers prefer to use only deglosser when painting cabinets, using sandpaper when possible saves money, and some deglossers may not work as well on laminate surfaces.
