Finding the best kitchen wall paint

Though you may not think it, the walls and ceilings of your kitchen cop a lot of mistreatment. Ordinary wall paints, particularly a paint that is matt, is not designed for the amount of condensation and grease that daily cooking, boiling water, making coffee, and dishwashing lets into the air and on the surrounding kitchen walls – the best breeding ground for mould.

What you want to look for ina good kitchen wall paint is a paint that is hardwearing (scrubbable), stain-resistant, water-repellent and easy to clean.

The abilities of kitchen paint

When you choose a paint for the walls in your house, the paint needs to be colourful, attractive, maybe scrubbable in kid’s rooms and hallways, and, unless you are unconventional, low sheen. The chalky matt surfaces that are currently so popular are not appropriate in high humidity spaces like kitchens.

Kitchen paint is specially formulated to withstand condensation and humidity, sometimes even mould, as well as being easily wipeable and greaseproof. They come in range of sheens, and are not just functional – the different manufacturers also provide a range of attractive colours.

The right kitchen paint colour for your personality

Painting a kitchen is the perfect way to give a tired space new life, without costing an arm and a leg. When choosing the colours for a kitchen makeover an redoing of kitchen walls, make sure you take into account the light of the room. East facing rooms have slightly blue light, so blue tones will work well. South facing rooms suit any colour, while north facing rooms should avoid greys and greens if you want to avoid them feeling cold.

The current trend in paint colours is for bold pops of colour (for cabinets or islands, for example), and dark dramatic tones. Robin egg blue is always popular, and pastel tones can make a grey and dreary winter morning just that little bit brighter. You can pair the hue or light value of cabinet and wall colour to match two different colours, or you can choose a series of colours from the same palette. Ultimately, the choice comes down to what you like, and what you’ll still like three months down the line.
