Homeowners who are planning a kitchen makeover on a budget can save money by updating salvageable items rather than replacing them. Painting kitchen countertops is a simple way to save money, but this option is not well-suited for everyone. Before deciding to paint their counters, homeowners must consider the type of materials used, which color they want and how their counter should be prepared for paint.

Determine the Material

Many different materials are used for countertops, and, unfortunately, some types of material cannot be painted, including marble, granite and soapstone. Laminate and wood, on the other hand, are commonly used materials that can be painted. Before making the decision to paint your countertops, ensure that the material is suitable.

Consider the Color

Countertop paint is available in a wide variety of colors, including traditional muted tones and unconventional hues that can make a vibrant statement. In most cases, the color of the flooring and cabinets should be determined before choosing a color for the countertops. Everything should match seamlessly, and selecting colors that pair well together is essential.

Properly Prepare the Counters

Before the counters can be painted, they need to be cleaned thoroughly to make sure that all grime is removed. The surface will then need to be sanded down, primed and then finally painted. After the counters are painted, the paint must dry for a few days before the surface can be used. While this is a project that many homeowners can do themselves, using a professional ensures the job is done correctly and to your satisfaction.
