Kitchen Paint Options: Finding the Perfect Finish for Your Derby Home
Not all paints are created equal, especially when it comes to kitchens. Regular emulsion just won't cut it in a room that faces daily exposure to steam, grease, and frequent cleaning.
Types of Kitchen Wall Paint We Use
Moisture-Resistant Emulsions These special formulations create a protective barrier against the steam and condensation that kitchens produce daily. They're perfect for walls near sinks and kettles that get particularly steamy.
Washable Matt Finishes Our most popular choice for Derby kitchens, these paints can be wiped clean without losing their colour or finish. Great for families with young children or enthusiastic cooks who make the occasional splatter!
Grease-Resistant Coatings These hard-wearing finishes prevent cooking grease from soaking into your walls, making cleaning a breeze. We recommend these for areas near hobs and cooking zones.
Anti-Mold Formulations Kitchens in older Derby homes can sometimes suffer from damp issues. Our anti-mold paints contain special additives that prevent fungal growth, keeping your kitchen walls looking fresh for longer.
Heat-Resistant Options For areas directly behind cookers or next to ovens, we use specialised heat-resistant paints that won't blister or discolour even when exposed to high temperatures.
We primarily use trusted brands like Dulux and Johnstone's that have proven track records for durability in kitchen environments. These aren't the cheapest paints on the market, but they'll save you money in the long run by lasting years longer than budget alternatives.
Our Wall Preparation Process: The Secret to Long-Lasting Kitchen Paint
A great-looking paint job isn't just about the final coat – the magic happens in the preparation. Many painting companies in Derby rush this crucial step, but we know that proper prep is what makes the difference between a paint job that lasts six months and one that looks good for years.
How We Prepare Your Kitchen Walls
- Thorough cleaning - We wash down all surfaces with a specialist degreaser to remove cooking residues, grease, and general dirt.
- Fixing imperfections - We repair any cracks, holes, or damaged areas with appropriate fillers.
- Sanding and smoothing - All surfaces are carefully sanded to create the perfect base for new paint.
- Treating trouble spots - Areas with previous mold or damp issues get special treatment to prevent future problems.
- Priming - We apply a kitchen-specific primer to ensure proper adhesion and a uniform finish.
- Protecting your kitchen - We carefully mask and cover all areas that aren't being painted, including worktops, appliances, and flooring.
This careful preparation takes time, but it's what allows us to confidently stand behind our work. For us, it's not just about how good the kitchen looks on day one – it's about how it looks years later.
Kitchen Colour Ideas: Popular Choices for Derby Homes
Choosing the right colour for your kitchen walls can be tricky. The perfect shade needs to complement your cabinets, worktops, and flooring while creating the right mood for your space.
Light and Bright: Space-Enhancing Colours
For smaller kitchens in Derby's terraced houses, light colours can work wonders in making the space feel bigger:
- Soft whites - Clean and timeless, white walls reflect light and pair with any cabinet colour
- Pale greys - Modern and versatile, light greys work particularly well with wood or coloured cabinets
- Gentle creams - Warmer than white but just as space-enhancing, cream works well in north-facing kitchens
Statement Colours: Feature Wall Ideas
A kitchen feature wall or accent wall can transform the room without overwhelming it:
- Sage green - Currently one of our most requested colours in Derby, sage creates a calming, natural feel
- Navy blue - Bold but sophisticated, navy makes a stunning statement wall
- Terracotta - Warm and inviting, terracotta tones bring Mediterranean warmth to Derby kitchens
Two-Tone Kitchen Walls
For something a bit different, we're seeing more Derby homeowners opt for two-tone kitchen walls:
- Two-tone vertical - Darker colour below, lighter above to create height
- Zone definition - Using different colours to visually separate cooking and dining areas
- Colour blocking - Creating geometric patterns with complementary colours
We offer a complimentary colour consultation with all our kitchen painting services. We'll bring colour charts and samples, discuss the light levels in your kitchen, and help you choose a shade that works perfectly with your existing fittings and personal style.
Kitchen Wall Decoration Beyond Paint: Creative Finishes
While a fresh coat of paint can work wonders, there are other wall treatments that can take your kitchen to the next level:
Kitchen Wall Treatment Options
- Tile painting - Refresh dated tiles with specialist paints
- Textured finishes - Add subtle dimension with textured paint techniques
- Stencilling - Create pattern features without the expense of wallpaper
- Blackboard areas - Practical and fun for shopping lists and family messages
- Wipeable wall vinyl - Ultra-practical for busy family kitchens
Our designers can help you explore these options and find treatments that suit your style and budget. We love finding creative solutions that give Derby kitchens a unique character without breaking the bank.
Best Paint for Kitchen Considerations: Durability Matters
Choosing the best paint for your kitchen walls isn't just about colour – the finish and formulation are equally important.
What Makes a Good Kitchen Paint?
- Scrubbability - Can it withstand repeated cleaning without wearing away?
- Moisture resistance - Will it repel water rather than absorbing it?
- Stain resistance - How easily can marks be wiped away?
- VOC content - Lower VOCs mean fewer harmful chemicals in your home
- Drying time - How quickly can you get back to using your kitchen?
We've tested dozens of paints specifically in kitchen environments, and we'll recommend options that meet your specific needs. Whether you're most concerned about durability, eco-friendliness, or value for money, we can advise on the best products for your situation.

Common Questions About Kitchen Wall Painting
What type of paint is best for kitchen walls in Derby?
The best paint for Derby kitchens is a washable, moisture-resistant emulsion specifically formulated for kitchen environments. We recommend kitchen-specific paints from Dulux or Johnstones that offer excellent durability and stain resistance. These paints cost a bit more than standard emulsions but will last years longer in the demanding kitchen environment.
How long does kitchen wall painting take?
Most kitchen wall painting projects take 2-3 days to complete properly. This includes thorough preparation, priming, and applying multiple coats for a flawless finish. Quick one-day jobs might seem appealing, but they often don't involve proper preparation, leading to premature peeling and staining.
Can kitchen walls be painted while cabinets remain in place?
Yes, we can work around your existing cabinets. We'll carefully mask and protect all surfaces that aren't being painted. This approach is more economical than removing cabinets and allows you to continue using your kitchen during much of the process.
What colours make a kitchen look bigger?
Light colours like whites, soft greys, and pale blues reflect more light, making the kitchen feel more spacious. In Derby's Victorian terraced houses with smaller kitchens, we often recommend these space-enhancing shades. For the biggest impact, keeping the ceiling and walls the same light colour can make the room feel taller.
Are special primers needed for kitchen walls?
Yes, kitchen walls benefit from special primers that seal the surface and provide a base for the topcoat. In kitchens with previous moisture issues or staining, we use stain-blocking primers to prevent these problems from bleeding through your new paint.
Can kitchen tiles be painted over?
Yes, tiles can be painted with specialist tile paint or epoxy coatings. This is a cost-effective way to update dated tiles without the mess and expense of removing them. The process requires thorough preparation and specific products, but the results can be transformative.
How often should kitchen walls be repainted?
Well-painted kitchen walls using quality paints should last 4-7 years before needing repainting. However, high-traffic areas or walls exposed to lots of cooking splashes may need attention sooner. We offer maintenance tips to help extend the life of your painted surfaces.
