Painting Kitchen Trim Right In Kennett Square, PA

In painting your kitchen, you may want to make the space look nicer and one way that you can do this is by updating the look of the trim — and painting it is likely the best way to do just this.

What you might want to know is that if you make the time to properly paint your kitchen’s trim, the look of the kitchen will be quite improved — and it shouldn’t take nearly as long as some other kitchen painting projects.

Let’s look at some tips for painting your kitchen trim right.

1. Sanding Is Key

When you’re looking to properly paint your kitchen trim, you’re going to need to ensure that you have a surface that is as smooth as possible first.

One thing that you can do to help this is to sand the surface being painted gently so that it is a bit more smooth before you’re going to be able to apply some primer and further make the said surface smooth.

Since you are going to be generating a good amount of sanding dust once you have finished sanding, it’s best to properly clean after you’ve sanded so that you won’t find this sanding dust in the paint job.

2. Color Choice Is Important

There are many choices you’re going to need to make when you’re looking to paint your room, and even when you’re only painting your trim you should consider the color that you will be painting.

You may think that it should be fairly obvious as to what color you’re going to use – that you have to paint the trim the same color as the rest of the room, or rather the same color as the walls in the room… this does not have to be the case.

One nice thing about painting your trim is that you can actually have the trim be a contrasting color from the rest of the room and have it really stand out — almost like a bit of an accent wall but not really, so to speak.

3. Fill Any Cracks And Damage / Holes

There are many misconceptions when it comes to painting your trim, one being that it’s just a matter of painting your trim and it will automatically look significantly better regardless of any damage that may be present on the surface.

This is not the case, however — if you try to apply paint to a surface that has holes or is otherwise damaged, that damage will still be quite visible even with numerous coats of paint on it.

What you’re going to want to do is to take appropriate measures to repair the damage — and there could be an entirely different article written on fixing damaged trim if you are interested — and then gently sand the affected areas and proceed.

By doing this you’re going to make sure that your trim looks all that much better.

4. Take Care In Reaching The Trim

It’s entirely possible that reaching your trim is not going to be as simple as reaching up and applying paint and primer with a paintbrush — the trim of the kitchen may be a bit out of reach.

Alternatively, even if the trim is not all that high it could be that the angle that you’d have to raise your arm in order to paint it would be quite bad for your arm, angle-wise.

In any case, it may be a good idea to get up on a higher stool or even perhaps a short ladder in order to reduce the amount of strain that you will be putting on your arm while you are painting your trim.
