Do not change anything else.

Ask to keep the existing handles or replace them to see the whole look.

What you will get

Your own kitchen with the cabinets repainted in the colour you named, with a matte finish. Countertops, backsplash, appliances, handles and lighting stay put, and the reflections still look real.

Why it works

A colour preview must change only the cabinets, so the prompt lists everything that stays: countertops, backsplash, appliances, handles and lighting. A matte finish sets the sheen. Realistic reflections and shadows make the new paint look real.

Common mistake

The wall or the countertop changes colour as well.

Fix: List what must not change: “keep the countertop, backsplash, walls, floor and appliances exactly as they are”. Then regenerate.

Also watch for
  • The colour on screen looks different from the paint chip. Use a shade name or code, such as “Sage green, RAL 6021”, and expect a rough preview, not a colour match. Always check a real sample.
  • Cabinet edges look blurred or patchy. Use a sharp, evenly lit photo and add “crisp cabinet edges, keep the panel lines and grooves”.
Try a variation: two-tone cabinets

Ask for “upper cabinets in white, lower cabinets in the colour you chose”. It is a common combination that you can compare against the single colour version.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep the countertops, handles and appliances exactly as they are. Make the cabinet colour slightly darker and keep the matte finish.
