Do you paint both sides of kitchen cabinet doors?

Yes, it’s generally recommended to paint both sides of kitchen cabinet doors for a more professional-looking finish. Painting both sides ensures that the doors are fully protected from wear and tear and gives the cabinets a consistent appearance when the doors are open.

When painting cabinet doors, it’s important to remove them from the cabinets and place them on a flat surface, such as a table or sawhorse. Start by painting the back of the door first, allowing it to dry completely before flipping it over and painting the front. Make sure to use a high-quality paintbrush or roller and apply the paint evenly to avoid drips or brush marks.

While painting both sides of cabinet doors may take a bit longer, it’s a small extra step that can make a big difference in the final result. A fully painted door looks more finished and professional, and it ensures that your cabinets are fully protected from wear and tear.
