If your kitchen or bathroom feels outdated, your first thought might be to rip out your old cabinets and start from scratch. But hold up—there’s a better, more affordable way to transform your space. Professionally painted cabinets can breathe new life into your home without the hassle, mess, and high price tag of a full replacement. In fact, cabinet painting is one of the most popular upgrades among Tampa Bay homeowners in 2025, offering dramatic results in just a few days.
Whether you live in a beach bungalow in St. Pete, a sleek Tampa condo, or a family home in Brandon, cabinet painting is a smart, stylish investment. Here’s everything you need to know to elevate your interiors—plus expert tips from That 1 Painter Tampa Bay.
Replacing cabinets can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000, depending on the materials and layout. On the other hand, professional cabinet painting generally ranges from $1,500 to $7,000. That’s a fraction of the cost with results that can look just as stunning.
Replacing cabinets means weeks of construction, dust, and disrupted routines. Cabinet painting usually takes 3–5 days, allowing you to enjoy your fresh new space by the weekend.
Tampa Bay residents are increasingly environmentally conscious. Painting your existing cabinets instead of replacing them keeps tons of materials out of local landfills and cuts down on the carbon footprint of manufacturing and shipping new cabinetry.
Painting gives you access to a huge range of colors, sheens, and techniques. Want a coastal look with crisp white cabinets and brushed gold pulls? Or maybe a bold, dramatic charcoal kitchen with brass accents? Cabinet painting lets you personalize your space without compromise.
Tampa Bay’s humid climate means your cabinet paint needs to stand up to heat and moisture. Here are the top paint types and finishes that work best:
That 1 Painter Tampa Bay highly recommends professional-grade paints like Sherwin-Williams Emerald Urethane and Benjamin Moore Advance.
Here’s what’s trending in coastal Florida kitchens and bathrooms this year:
Soft whites, seafoam greens, and sandy taupes mimic the beach and create a relaxing vibe. Perfect for Clearwater condos and Davis Islands bungalows.
Deep colors are making a splash in larger kitchens. Paired with brass or brushed nickel hardware, they add drama and depth.
A huge hit in South Tampa homes—think navy lower cabinets with bright white uppers or wood-toned islands paired with crisp cabinetry.
Earthy greens like eucalyptus or sage bring a refreshing organic feel to your space and work well with stone counters and natural wood.
Still the top choice for resale. These timeless hues make spaces feel bigger and brighter, great for homes with smaller floor plans or minimal natural light.
