Looking to breathe new life into your kitchen? Whether you’re dreaming of a new kitchen painted in your perfect shade or looking to refresh your space without a full renovation, hand-painted kitchens offer a timeless, custom solution. This approach offers far more than just colour, it brings personality, longevity and flexibility to any home.
Discover our bespoke hand-painted kitchens, brought to life from expert craftsmanship to the final brushstroke.
What’s the Difference Between Hand-Painted Kitchens and Spray Painting?
While spray-painted kitchen cabinets are typically finished in a factory, they can often have a synthetic look and are more susceptible to chipping over time. Repairing damage can be difficult and usually requires a complete respray. In contrast, hand-painted kitchens are finished in your home after installation, which allows for seamless coverage that blends beautifully with your space.
Hand-painting naturally takes a little more time, but that allows for the exceptional care and attention to detail that sets it apart. This process creates a durable, refined finish that’s easy to touch up over time. Offering the flexibility and longevity that truly bespoke kitchens demand, making it the superior choice for a lasting, high-quality look.
The Rise of Hand-Painted Kitchens and What Makes Them Popular?
In a world that values individuality, hand-painted kitchens are a natural choice. Whether you love classic neutrals or bold shades, hand-painted cabinetry brings instant warmth and character to your kitchen. These finishes aren’t just about aesthetics; they reflect your personal style and make your space truly feel like home.
At Harvey Jones, every kitchen starts with custom-built cabinetry, crafted using traditional joinery. Our expert painters hand-paint your cabinets after installation and priming, delivering a showroom-quality finish right in your own home.
Adaptable as Your Style Evolves
One of the biggest advantages of a hand-painted kitchen is how easy it is to refresh over time. If your taste changes or you want to modernise your space without replacing your cabinets, simply repainting them can completely transform your home. Swap a soft taupe for pistachio green or go from deep navy blue to buttery yellow; your options are endless.
Take your kitchen refresh to the next level by updating elements like handles, hardware or worktops. These simple yet impactful changes can transform the look and feel of your space, all without the disruption or cost of a full renovation.
Perfectly Matched to Your Space
Paint behaves differently depending on the lighting and layout of your home. That’s why hand-painting your kitchen cabinets after installation is so valuable. Our designers advise how to test colours in your space to ensure your chosen shade works beautifully with your home’s unique light and finishes at all times of the day. It’s a small step that makes a big difference, helping you avoid costly mistakes and feel confident in your decision.
- South-facing kitchens benefit from warm, natural light throughout the day. To balance this brightness, cooler kitchen colours such as pale blue, sage green or soft grey work beautifully and prevent the space from feeling overly warm or yellow.
- North-facing kitchens tend to feel cooler due to softer, diffused light. To counteract this, opt for warm kitchen colour schemes like creamy neutrals, terracotta tones or gentle yellows. These hues will add warmth and make the space feel more inviting.
- East-facing kitchens receive strong morning light that fades in the afternoon. This suits lighter, fresher shades like pastel greens, blush pinks or pale blue, which feel energising in the early part of the day.
- West-facing kitchens enjoy warmer light in the afternoon and evening. Richer, deeper tones such as navy blue, forest green or burgundy create a cosy atmosphere and look especially vibrant as the sun sets.
Long-Lasting and Low-Maintenance
Hand-painted kitchen cabinets are designed to be as durable as they are beautiful. Our handcrafted cabinetry is primed with two coats before being expertly fitted and hand-painted in situ. Resulting in a seamless, hardwearing surface that’s ideal for everyday living. This creates a smooth, easy-to-clean surface, perfect for busy family homes or those who love to cook and entertain. And if life leaves its mark, a simple touch-up is all it takes to restore your kitchen to its original elegance. Proof that durability and design can go hand in hand.
