House Renovation

We all look at our kitchen cabinets and wonder how to update the dull whites, browns, and other colored squares to understand why on earth we thought the original color was a good idea. Often, to get the cabinets updated, we think the only thing we can do is rip the old cabinet out and replace it with a new set. However, this is time-consuming and expensive, so often we will need to do something cheaper. 

Well, one of the many things you can do that’s a bit cheaper is updating your cabinets rather than replacing them. A fresh coat of paint and a little resurfacing will go a long way to making your once boring cabinets new again, and they can cost you a lot less than a complete replacement.

So, here are some of the best ways to get your cabinets updated!

Give Them A Fresh Coat Of Paint

One of the best ways to update your kitchen cabinets is by giving them a fresh coat of paint. If you have a darker kitchen that feels more like the inside of a cave, you can try to brighten everything up with a light coat of paint. Just clean them up and soon your kitchen will be a warm and inviting place once more.

You can paint your cabinets in all different types of colors and even add some texture with your paints, so you won’t need to worry about your cabinets being unsalvageable. No matter what you need, you can make the cabinets rustic, antiqued, or modern.

Reface Them

Some cabinets are dirty, scratched, grease-stained, and have been warped by countless uses of the kitchen. However, a little cleaner and some elbow grease will clean up most stains, and then you can simply replace any doors that are way too damaged to be repaired. Instead of potentially having to put $5,000 dollars towards a new cabinet, then you can just place $1,000 towards some veneer and a new door or two.

If you take an afternoon and just get everything fixed up, then your old kitchen will look good in no time at all. Plus, the right woodworking shop will sell you everything you need and can answer your questions too.

Install Under Cabinet Lighting

It’s actually easier than you think to make sure that under cabinet lighting is installed without too much trouble, and it has more of an effect than you might think. There’s something about being able to coat countertops in bright white light, and it’s very beautiful. Even more so if you connect all the features to a dimmer switch and control the lighting throughout the night. Once you disconnect the power to the breaker box, then you are good to go and the installation procedure is simple.

Add Crown Molding

Crown molding is perhaps the most common way to bring your cabinets from ordinary to extraordinary without too much trouble. The trim transforms your kitchen into a seamless expression of extra personality, and you just need to mount a hardwood frame above the cabinets and then place the molding atop it.

It’s common, but there are still a ton of molding options out there and you can easily customize everything to your heart’s content.

No matter what you need to makeover your kitchen cabinets, you will certainly not lack options whenever it comes to improving them! Make sure to look through every single option and then pick the one that works for your kitchen and your style. Then get started and remake your cabinets, and you’ll see how your kitchen improves!
