🍳 Why Kitchen Paint Colour Really Matters in Nigeria

The Nigerian kitchen is hot—literally. Between frying, boiling, and that Sunday jollof marathon, our kitchens deal with real heat. So when it comes to painting your kitchen, you need colours that are heat-tolerant, easy to clean, and still give your space that fresh and modern vibe.

Let’s break down how to pick the best paint colour for Nigerian kitchens, and what to avoid.

☀️ 1. Choose Heat-Reflective Colours

In Nigeria’s warm climate, light colours like soft white, pastel yellow, or light grey help reflect heat and keep your kitchen from feeling like a furnace.

Dark colours absorb heat—and in a small Lagos kitchen, you’ll sweat before you finish boiling rice!

🚿 2. Go for Washable Paint Finishes

Kitchens get messy. Oil splashes, palm oil stains, smoke residue—you name it. That’s why Prestige Paint’s Timeless Satin Finish is perfect:

• Easy to wipe clean

• Doesn’t fade under heat

• Long-lasting shine

Avoid matte paint—it’s not ideal for areas with moisture or grease.

🎨 3. Colour Psychology: Set the Mood

• White: Clean, timeless, and makes your kitchen feel open

• Soft Green: Invites a calm, earthy feel—great if you have herbs or plants in your kitchen

• Cream/Beige: Warm and homely, hides dirt a little better

• Light Blue: Refreshing and helps balance Nigeria’s hot temperatures

📌 Avoid dark red or black—they show grease easily and make the kitchen feel smaller.

💡 4. Use Accent Colours for Cabinets or Backsplash

Want to add spice without overwhelming your space? Use bold colours like mustard yellow, teal, or terracotta on just your cabinets or the wall behind your stove.

This trick works well in compact kitchens and self-contain flats.
