Four Ways To Update Your Kitchen Cabinets

Kitchen cabinets form the basis for the aesthetic foundation of a kitchen. In fact, kitchen cabinets can make or break the design of a kitchen. Additionally, the presence of sufficient cabinet space in a kitchen increases the functional efficiency of the room. A kitchen without sufficient cabinets will be littered, and navigation and food preparation will be difficult. For these reasons and many more, installation and updates of your kitchen cabinets are extremely important. 

Why Cabinets Are An Important Aspect Of The Kitchen

Functionality:

While homeowners often prioritize the aesthetics of the interior of a kitchen, the function that cabinets serve in your kitchen is just as important. Efficient kitchen cabinets buy more space and make kitchen operations faster and more effective. 

Organization:  

Everyone understands that littering a space or stacking things in a corner is not ideal. The right kitchen cabinets with compartments of different sizes avoid issues with organization! 

Future Needs and Aesthetics:  

When you’re building or remodeling a kitchen, it’s important to think about the appliances, dishes, pots & pans, etc., that will be going in your cabinets each and every day. Additionally, homeowners should consider the look and style they want their new & improved kitchen to represent! 

Update Options For Kitchen Cabinets 

When it comes time to update your kitchen cabinets or restructure your kitchen as a whole, it can be challenging to determine the best option for you. Below are four different ways that you can update your kitchen cabinets depending on your needs and budget! 

Refacing

Refacing cabinets typically saves the homeowner about half the total cost of purchasing brand-new cabinets. It should be noted, however, that this option only works where existing cabinet boxes are in good shape, and the homeowners intend to retain the room’s layout. Installation time for cabinet refacing is slightly shorter than if a new cabinet is being installed. 

Painting

Painting your current kitchen cabinets is a budget-friendly way to give your kitchen a facelift. The problem with painting is that the result often does not live up to the homeowner’s expectations. Painting cabinets can also be labor intensive because it requires removing existing doors, drawers, and cabinet box frames before painting, then replacing everything that has been removed. Kitchen cabinet painting will also leave you with the same style and any surface-level damage that has previously occurred. 

New Stock Cabinets: 

Ordering brand-new stock cabinets is the best advice for homeowners looking to revamp the look, feel, and function of their kitchen. New cabinets will allow you to restyle your kitchen however you wish with the latest styles and technologies. When ordering brand-new cabinets, be extra diligent about your space’s measurement and sizes, or consult a professional to help!

Replacing Cabinet Doors: 

One more option for updating the look of your kitchen cabinets is to replace the doors only. Kitchen cabinet hinges and doors are usually the first things to be worn down, meaning replacing them alone is a reasonably cost-effective way to give your kitchen a new look. If you have budget restrictions, replacing cabinet doors may be advisable compared to purchasing entirely new cabinets.
