Help with White paint color for Kitchen Cabinets and Glaze or no glaze. We added glazing in our bathroom vanity but not in the kitchen. I don't think unglazed looks monochromatic. I think it's much prettier and, as beachem says, cleaner looking. Save your money. Two sides -- I actually do think white looks boring and monochromatic - but then I'm not a fan of white cabinets in general, I prefer natural or stained wood.
Glazing can look good when done right - not like spills or dirt. The above bathroom does not look like spills nor does it look dirty, for example.
I don't care for glazing cabinets- reminds me of the Tuscan look I could not wait to see the end of. Pick a white you like and skip the extras. Not a fan of glazing on cabinets.
It looks dated the minute it's installed. Get a few more quotes. See if there is a Shiloh dealer in your area and get a quote from them. Another no. My last kitchen had glazed cabinets and they really did look dirty. My new ones are not glazed and look so crisp and clean. Hi all, thank you so much for your feedback.
I have moved away from glazing still looking to do cream paint. First one is what really inspired me and the second one is what I was worried about not doing the glazing. I need to see how I can achieve the look for Photo 1 without glazing. Please let me know any suggestions. I'm thinking of doing contrasting the island with wood stain. Hopefully others with more expertise will chime in--I searched these images, are they both Creme Maple Glazed?
I'd suppose you could achieve similar effect with a creamy paint color. To me the differences in the photos are around other details besides the color. Photo 1 has cabs to the ceiling with a lot of elaborate molding--is that something you're looking for and is included in your cabinet design and quote comparisons? Photo 2 doesn't have those details, and the backsplash is very distracting. I loved the moulding in 1 the entire look as a matter of fact but my cabinet guy is telling me that's probably for 9 or 10 foot ceiling and ours in 8'.
Let's see if that will give me this look. Definitely going to tone down the backsplash with mostly cream with a tint of orange in there like again as in 1. I even love the countertop and chandelier in 1.
Would anyone know what they are and a place to find them? To be honest I can't see much difference in the cabinets between the two photos. I certainly can't tell one is glazed and the other is not but that could be the photos. To me the second photo looks like a fight between warm and cool with neither winning and throwing up that backsplash so no one notices anything else.
I don't think looking at that photo is helpful unless you really like the style -- and you say you don't. Can you get a sample door of each and put it in YOUR kitchen?
Natural light makes a big difference. Even if you have to pay a bit of money it will help you make sure you get it right. Incandescent candelabra bulbs vs. I think glazing only looks good when done with utmost care by the highest-end cabinet makers. Otherwise, it can look sloppy or dirty, and doesn't do much to enhance the appearance of the cabinets. Also, you should think long-term. In, say, 3 years, do you think you are going to look at those glazed cabinets and think, gee, that glazing is tired?
Or will you still like it? Great idea by Stan Z. Get a sample of both and see how they look in your space. I was told by a cabinet salesperson once that they often push for glazes to hide the inevitable cracks that will occur with paint. Don't know if that's true or not. The cabinetry in your first inspiration picture has a lot of detail. Is your cabinetry going to include the moldings and other furniture style finishing touches like the inspiration picture? I don't think un-glazed cabinets will be too boring.
You don't necessarily want your hard finishes to scream "look at me! Wish I had a crisper looking white. Wipe off the glaze as usual, but keep it a little darker than the rest of the surface. The accentuated grooves provide a unique contrast to the lighter cabinet faces. Most manufacturers suggest a minimum dry time of 24 hours, but climate and humidity will affect the drying rate. Apply the topcoat with a brush and let it dry completely. Using a rag, remove any errant spots of paint or glaze with hot water or a paint thinner.
Remember not to wipe the freshly-glazed cabinets , and let them dry thoroughly before replacing the hardware. Disclosure: BobVila. You agree that BobVila. All rights reserved. Expert advice from Bob Vila, the most trusted name in home improvement, home remodeling, home repair, and DIY.
