Cabinet Glazing
Glazes may look similar to stains and in some cases, professionals use stains as wood glaze but glaze is thicker in consistency to allow for more control during application.
Glazing is perfect for intricately detailed cabinets that you want to highlight like grooves, fluting or panels. It can also give out an aged effect, add wood grain and marbling to a plain, flush cabinet door. If a special effect is desired, tools such as graining combs, steel wool and special brushes are used by professionals.
Cabinet Antiquing
Glazing is also the method of cabinet refinishing used to make cabinets look distressed and antiqued. The effect is very much visible on lighter, cream or yellow-toned woods although any wood color can be made to look distressed with glazing.
Go for Glazing if: You want to highlight the detailed woodwork of your cabinet, make it look aged or add faux grains and marbling.
Go for Toning if: You want to change the color or shade of your existing cabinets -keeping the wood grain intact without having to paint it over with a different color. Think deep rich colors like expresso, walnut, cherry, and more.
Using wood grains in design is a great way of adding depth and movement to a room. This is why wooden kitchen cabinets emit a cozy and warm vibe that is very different from painted cabinets. If you love the unique wood grain patterns on your kitchen cabinet but not sure about the color, toning is one method of cabinet refinishing that you can consider to give your kitchen a fresh new look.
Toning involves using a mixture of colorants and clear or white coatings to produce a colored wood toner. This method works best for restoring faded wood to its original color or darkening an existing wood tone a desired shade. If you want a lighter cabinet color, you may need to bleach or lighten your existing cabinet before attempting to tone it.
Unlike a stain, toners sit on top of the wood giving it a nice new color without affecting or blurring the grains of the wood. Think of your cabinet as it is, only in a different hue.
Take note that achieving a certain wood color can be tricky and may require the help of a professional. Cabinet painters will mix in pigments and spray this in several passes until the desired effect is achieved.

What is the best primer to use on kitchen cabinets?
The type of primer to be used largely depends on the substrate, existing finish and final goal. Old-fashioned 0il-based primer dries harder and paint adheres well to oil and these are great for grainy woods like oak. Water-based primers and coatings are more pleasant if you’re concerned about VOCs and HAPS. Shellac-based primers are important in multiple applications. Lacquers are versatile and sometimes the job calls for conversion varnish. Depending on your goals, from painting to refinishing, to toning and glazing.
Keep in mind that color can determine the mood for a room. The color you select is about what you want that room to feel like. Relaxing, uplifting, restorative, mind-clearing, and prosperous feeling can all be reflected in the color you select.
