Collection: Trim, Door + Cabinetry Paint

Cabinet Paint Colors & Trim Paint

Cabinet paint is one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost ways to update a kitchen or bathroom — changing the color of the cabinets shifts the entire feel of a room without touching the layout or the hardware. This collection features Magnolia's trim, door, and cabinetry paint colors: the specific shades Joanna Gaines reaches for on cabinets, built-ins, doors, and millwork. The paint is formulated for the hard-working surfaces that need it most — durable, scrubbable, and designed to hold up to the regular wear that kitchen and bathroom cabinets take.

What finish should I use for cabinet paint?
Semi-gloss and satin are the two most practical finishes for cabinet paint. Semi-gloss is the more durable of the two, easier to wipe clean and more resistant to moisture — a natural fit for kitchen cabinets near the sink and stove. Satin has a slightly softer sheen that hides surface imperfections better and gives cabinets a more refined, furniture-like quality. For most kitchens, satin is the sweet spot between durability and appearance. Reserve flat or matte finishes for walls — they don't hold up to the cleaning that cabinets require.

Do I need to prime cabinets before painting?
Yes, priming is important for cabinet paint adhesion, especially if the cabinets are previously painted, have a glossy finish, or are made of MDF or laminate. A bonding primer gives the topcoat something to grip and helps prevent peeling over time. Lightly sanding the cabinet surfaces between the primer coat and the first paint coat gives the final finish a smoother, more professional result. Skipping primer is the most common reason cabinet paint jobs fail prematurely."
