How To Brighten Up A Kitchen With Dark Cabinets. Replace the cabinet doors and drawer fronts with white ones (or go the DIY route with a can of white paint), marvel at your kitchen's transformation and wonder why you didn't do it years ago. As this kitchen shows, going all black with the cabinets can still result in a surprisingly bright kitchen.
By sanding them, you get lighter cabinets, and the surface is smooth and ready to lacquer. Then I would concentrate on accessorizing on the countertop that are painted cream & canisters that are cream color to break up the dark countertop with the cabinetry/backsplash. A white subway tile kitchen backsplash can look great with dark brown cabinets like you can see in this kitchen.
An extensive use of dark cabinets and dark flooring warrants the use of white and light colors on the walls and ceiling to keep the dark hues in check.
That means replacing any room-darkening shades and blinds with lighter, more translucent curtains that allow light to filter into the kitchen.
Halogen light bulbs inject a large amount of light into a dark space, and CFL light bulbs mimic important natural light. Brighten up your dark kitchen by allowing the most amount of natural sunlight possible into your kitchen. How do you revive kitchen cabinets?
