Advantages
Staining is less expensive than painting. So if you’re making your decision based solely on budget, stained cabinets may be a better choice than painted ones. If you want the most durable cabinet finish possible, stain is the best option. Stained cabinets are easy to touch up and do not show stains or scuffs as easily as painted cabinets. It’s easy to find touch-up tools that exactly match your cabinet stain.

How to get the look
If you like the look of natural wood grain and knots, a stain will best bring out these characteristics. There are many examples and appearances of such kitchens: very elegant mid-century modern kitchens, minimalist and organic, elegant wooden kitchens, modern rustic and farmhouse kitchens with shaker-style wooden cabinets and stone countertops. If you don’t want just stain, opt for a more modern and elegant look with two-tone cabinets – stained and colored cabinets together. Choose colors carefully to create a contrasting look or a neutral and peaceful look. The combination of cool metals with warm wood adds beautiful contrast and balance to a modern kitchen space.
