Cabinets

If your Irvine, CA kitchen is starting to look old and worn, the cabinets are likely the culprits. Your kitchen cabinets take up more space than any other item in the room. If you want to transform the look of the kitchen, the cabinets are a good place to start. Here are several ideas for upgrading the cabinets ranging from easy to extensive.

  • Paint

One of the simplest things you can do is paint the cabinets. Sometimes changing the cover and giving them a fresh coat of paint is all you need. Make sure the cabinets function well and are still in working order. If they are, paint can do the trick and give you a newer looking kitchen.

  • Add Lighting

There’s nothing like extra light in the kitchen to make it look new and brighter. Adding under the cabinet lighting can make the cabinets look as good as new.

  • Remove Some Doors

There are some cabinets that are hiding things you don’t want guests to see, but you might want to consider removing doors on a few cabinets to make the kitchen look bigger and more open. You can also show off fancy china or other items that you never use but want to see.

  • Change Hardware

Another easy thing to do that can really change the look of kitchen cabinets is to simply change the hardware on the cabinets. It doesn’t cost much money and it can give the cabinets a new, fresh look.

  • Add Glass Inserts

Instead of replacing the whole cabinet door, you could place glass inserts where the wood used to be. You have a number of glass options in terms of patterns and colors and you can get the look you want as well as a new aesthetic in the kitchen.

  • Replace

If your cabinets don’t function well, are falling apart, or are not in the layout you want, you might consider completely replacing them. Remodeling your kitchen is the largest thing you can do to add value to your home. New cabinets can help design a beautiful space that will transform your kitchen into a brand new room. When you replace the cabinets, you can customize them to any style you want. You get to choose the wood, the colors, and every other element.
