Kitchen Painting & Decorating in Sussex – Where Style Meets Everyday Living

Kitchen Painting & Decorating in Sussex – Where Style Meets Everyday Living

Most of life happens in the kitchen. Morning coffee before work, kids piling in from school, Sunday roasts, Friday night pizza, late-night chats leaning on the counter… and all of it framed by the walls, cupboards, and colours around you.

If your kitchen is tired, marked, or just “the same as it’s always been,” a professional repaint can change the whole feel of your home. At R Drummond & Son, we’ve been painting and decorating kitchens across Sussex since 1983. From sleek new builds in Brighton & Hove to farmhouse kitchens in Steyning, we know how to make your busiest room look its best — and keep it that way.

Why Kitchen Painting is Different

Painting a kitchen isn’t like painting a spare room. You’ve got:

• Heat and steam from cooking.

• Condensation near windows and splashbacks.

• Grease build-up (no matter how careful you are).

• Constant foot traffic – it’s the hub of the house.

That’s why we use durable, scrubbable, moisture-resistant paints and meticulous preparation. When we decorate a kitchen, it’s not just about colour — it’s about making sure the finish will last years of real life.

We cover the whole county, so wherever you are, you’re in range. Here’s a taste of where we’ve been rolling out fresh kitchens lately:

Services for Kitchens

We’re not just “wall painters.” A kitchen redecorated by R Drummond & Son can include:

• Walls & ceilings – stain-blocking primers + washable paints.

• Woodwork – skirting, doors, trims.

• Cabinet painting – give tired cupboards a second life with hard-wearing finishes.

• Feature walls – accent colours, bold tiles, or painted splashbacks.

• Surface prep – degreasing, filling, sanding, sealing.

Every kitchen is different. Some need delicate work around heritage features in places like Arundel. Others are modern, minimalist kitchens in Brighton & Hove that look best with sharp contrasts and bold tones.

Choosing Colours for Kitchens

Kitchens are about energy and mood. Here’s what we see working well across Sussex homes:

• Clean whites & neutrals – timeless, fresh, makes smaller kitchens feel bigger.

• Deep navy & dark green – dramatic, works beautifully on cabinets.

• Earthy terracottas & warm tones – perfect for countryside kitchens! 

• Pastels – soft greens, blues, and pinks, a Brighton favourite.
