Kitchen cabinets are the largest focal point of any kitchen, making it all the more important to have updated, quality and great looking cabinets. More often than not, kitchen cabinet refacing can be the perfect way to get a brand new look for your kitchen without the cost of having the cabinets completely replaced. Kitchen cabinets are the most prominent feature of a kitchen because the cover the most square footage and are placed in both high and low locations to draw the eye to the entire kitchen. Cabinet refacing can do more to transform the look of your kitchen than any other one feature, and refacing is a cost effective kitchen remodeling project for any home.

The first steps for creating a whole new look in the kitchen during a kitchen remodel or cabinet refacing is to select your color scheme. It’s a good idea to completely change the style or color of your kitchen cabinets because the look will seem more dramatic and more like a change than it would otherwise. If you currently have white cabinets and white walls, stain your cabinets a deep brown for an extreme contrast that draws the eyes upwards. You’ll notice your new cabinets instantly and for a long time. Creating a big change with kitchen cabinet refacing is ideal for updating the look of the kitchen.

Many homes are built with solidly constructed cabinets, and while they may wear over time are still strong and don’t need to be torn out. The experts at Kitchen Remodel El Cajon will assess your cabinets to determine if they’re strong enough to withstand a refacing, and we’ll also offer to stabilize or reinforce your cabinets if necessary. Whether your kitchen cabinets are made of wood, laminate, glass or any other material, cabinet refacing allows you to completely alter the look to the extent you want. Cabinet refacing also makes it easy to change solid wood cabinets into glass display cabinets and vice versa for a completely new look. Plus, the aspects of your kitchen cabinets that remain will be sanded, repainted, and updated so the entire project is cohesive and complete.

Kitchen cabinet refacing also opens up the opportunity for custom cabinet design, especially because you’ll be saving potentially thousands on a full cabinet replacement. Creating your own custom cabinet design offers the ability for full flexibility on your new kitchen cabinet style, which is an attractive option during cabinet refacing. Consult a professional for your unique cabinet design and get expert advice for your particular design and style. Whether you want a look that you create yourself or a design that combines two different styles, a custom cabinet design can be the perfect addition to your kitchen remodel.

One of the most overlooked and forgotten aspect of kitchen cabinet refacing is replacing the cabinet hardware, but this can be a room changing feature. Cabinet hardware is subtle but new or unique hardware can make a huge difference in a kitchen. Use hardware to tie in design styles from other parts of the kitchen or even other rooms in the house, or select pieces that match your personality. Your kitchen cabinet hardware, whether decorative or functional or a mixture of both, can make opening and closing kitchen cabinets a little more fun. Soft close hinges are another feature to consider because they silence formerly loud cabinets and protect cabinets from being slammed. You could also keep the same style of your kitchen cabinet hardware but change the finish or color for a subtle, updated look that matches your new cabinets. Hardware can also be used to set your kitchen’s mood, like creating a Victorian look with faux crystal hangles or a minimalist design with thin steel bars.
