What paint should you choose for a kitchen or dining room?
The kitchen is a unique room in the house: it is subject to heat, humidity, stains, and splashes. It is therefore important to choose an interior paint that is suitable for this type of environment.
For the kitchen: Benjamin Moore Kitchen & Bath Paint
To paint your kitchen, we recommend using paint that is specially formulated for humid environments, such as Benjamin Moore Kitchen & Bath paint. Specifically designed to resist mold growth, it is ideal for walls located near the oven, sink, or range hood.
For the dining room: Benjamin Moore Aura interior paint
To paint your dining room, we recommend using a paint that is known for its performance and vibrant colors, such as Benjamin Moore Aura interior paint. Resistant to glossing and rubbing, it offers a choice of over 3,500 shades to suit any decor.
Benjamin Moore’s Kitchen & Bath paint and Aura paint are both designed with Gennex® color technology, which ensures exceptional durability and color stability. Plus, thanks to their self-priming formulas, they don’t require a primer before painting.
For kitchen cabinets: Benjamin Moore Advance Interior Paint
To paint your kitchen cabinets, we recommend using a high-quality water-based alkyd paint, such as Benjamin Moore Advance interior paint. It cures to a durable finish, making it perfect for moldings, doors, and cabinets.
Choosing the right paint finish for the kitchen and dining room
Pearl finish is a medium sheen with high durability. Beautiful and easy to clean, it is ideal for kitchens. The luminous appearance of Semi-Gloss finish is perfect for kitchen cabinets.
Eggshell finish has low sheen and offers an easy-to-clean surface. Its soft sheen beautifully highlights colors, making it an excellent choice for the dining room.
What are the trending colors for kitchens in 2025?
In 2025, painting trends are moving towards warm yet modern atmospheres. Here are this year’s most popular colors:
Timeless neutrals
Soft tones such as pearl gray, off-white, or sandy beige bring light and serenity to your space. These colors are perfect for creating an elegant and understated backdrop that you can then personalize to suit your taste.
Deep, bold colors
Dare to use navy blue, sage green, or terracotta to give your kitchen some character. Navy blue is particularly popular for accent walls or kitchen cabinets, while earthy tones add a touch of warmth to the dining room.
