Keeping quality cabinets with brown tile floors and green countertops is better because wood or high-quality veneer cabinets offer lasting durability and classic appeal that often surpasses the cosmetic impact of painting. Retaining your cabinets allows you to redirect your budget toward flooring, backsplash, lighting, and hardware upgrades, which more effectively harmonize the room’s undertones. This approach avoids costly paint jobs that may peel or clash and leads to a more successful, cohesive kitchen update.
