“I have a painted MMF kitchen myself... coming up to 5 years... two young children... never needed to use my touch-up paint.” -Jennifer, Senior Designer
Why Choose a Painted Kitchen?
Exposed to everything from busy family mornings and everyday cooking to evenings spent entertaining, the kitchen is one of the hardest-working rooms in the home. Despite this, our painted kitchens have remained a firm favourite for generations.
Our painted kitchen furniture works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary homes. With a wide range of colours to choose from, you can create a space that feels completely yours.
Each piece of our painted furniture is hand-finished in our workshops by our expert sprayers and painters. We only use the highest-quality, premium paints to create a beautiful, durable finish that is easy to maintain.
How Durable Is a Painted Kitchen?
Our painted kitchen cabinets are designed to be lived in, but as with any well-loved kitchen, a little wear may naturally appear over time.
How quickly this happens will depend on the individual household and how the kitchen is used.
Senior Designer, Jennifer, has lived with her own painted Matthew Marsden Furniture kitchen for almost five years: “The main advantage of a painted Matthew Marsden Furniture kitchen is that it is easily repairable if required. Alongside our client hand over bags at the completion stage of every job, we supply you with a tin of touch up paint should you ever need it. The paint we use is a premium product used to deliver outstanding performance in durability and appearance.
I have a painted MMF kitchen myself and it is coming up to 5 years since it was installed, I have never needed to use my touch up paint. I have two young children, and it is a well-used kitchen and entertaining space.”
What If the Paint Gets Chipped?
Small chips and marks don’t necessarily mean replacing a door or a piece of cabinetry.
As each piece of our painted furniture is hand-finished with a paintbrush, small touch-ups can blend naturally into the existing finish, making repairs much less noticeable.
This means everyday chips and marks can often be touched up quickly and effectively, helping to maintain the appearance of your furniture for years to come. We recommend addressing any chips, scratches or fading promptly to help preserve the quality of the paintwork.
How to Care for Painted Kitchen Cabinets
Looking after your painted kitchen is surprisingly simple. A few good habits can help protect the finish and keep your cabinetry looking its best.
To care for your painted furniture, wipe gently with a clean, slightly damp cloth (well wrung out) using lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid for stubborn marks. Dry the surface immediately to protect the finish.
We also recommend:
-Cleaning spills and greasy marks as soon as possible.
-Regularly dusting cabinetry with a clean, dry microfibre cloth.
-Using coasters and placemats to protect painted surfaces from heat and moisture.
-Avoiding spray cleaning products on painted furniture.
-Arranging prompt repairs for any chips, scratches or fading.
