The cabinetry in your home is perhaps one of the most expensive components. Whether you are deciding on bathroom or kitchen cabinets, bringing old cabinets back to life will give the home a facelift and save money. When cabinets get an update, this can increase the value of the home and the appeal to attract potential home buyers. You may not be moving but you will be tempted to spend more time in your bathroom or kitchen once the cabinets are updated with a fresh look. Here are some tips for updating your cabinetry without breaking the bank.
Have the cabinets painted by a professional painter. Adding a fresh coat of high-quality gloss or semi-gloss paint will make them stand out. Cabinets are sanded free of old stain/finish.
Install or change door hardware. To prevent changing the cabinet’s door, knobs or cabinet hardware pulls can give the cabinetry a new, refreshing look and provides functionality. Modern metals like stainless steel, copper, nickel, or brushed chrome hardware is highly recommended. The style of the knobs can range from intricate to minimalistic.
Add a touch of crown molding. If the kitchen cabinets are still in great condition and usable, adding an upscale look of wood details such as dentils and crown molding. Detailing on wooden cabinets can add grandeur and height to the kitchen. It’s advisable to match the new woodwork’s stain to the existing cabinets.
Glass doors can do a lot for the cabinets. To add a bit of a country charm to old cabinets, solid doors can be replaced with glass pane doors. Think about placing display items or decorative dishes in the glass door cabinets. You can also add cabinet lights on the inside to give the effect of visual interest at night.
Cabinetry that may be outdated but is still in good standings is perfect for a refacing project. Refacing is when drawer fronts and old doors are replaced with new ones. To change the stain color, use wood grained like material to adhere to the current cabinets. This leaves your cabinets with a brand-new look.
Remove the cabinet doors entirely. Having partially opened cabinetry and shelving is for the individuals who like to display their dishware. An open cabinetry display can brighten the room and walls while adding a decorative touch. Think about having the inside of the cabinets painted to give the dishware an elegant backdrop.
Lighting under or over cabinets. When updating old cabinets, this improves overall functionality. Consider bringing your cabinets back to life with cabinet lighting under or over the cabinets. Lighting can add brilliance to the cabinets.
Cabinetry paneling can be added to appliances. Once the cabinets have been improved aesthetically, choose appliances that have matching cabinetry paneling. This is a great option for the ones who choose to reface their cabinets with drawer pulls and door fronts. Appliances like heated and cooling drawers, dishwashers, and refrigerators all have a variety of choices with customized paneling.
Cabinetry in your home is a symbol of personal tastes and style. Saving money and old cabinets shouldn’t be stressful to tackle. Follow our steps and see how much you can transform old cabinets. Your cabinetry is waiting on you!
