Kitchen remodeling is one of the best ways to add to the value of your home. It’s one of the most commonly used spaces on a daily basis and needs to function well as well as look beautiful. Kitchens are spaces for entertaining and enjoying time with families and friends. The design of kitchens needs to be well thought out to create flow. For homeowners that like to cook, space needs to be convenient and easy to maintain. Cabinets are an integral part of any kitchen; they help you stay organized, give you kitchen some style, and gives you a place to store your dishes. They’re a major consideration when you’ve got a kitchen remodel or renovation on your hands. There are so many materials out there and even more color options available. Could a kitchen island work for your current kitchen, or would a remodel be needed? When it comes time to switch up your cabinets, should you replace them entirely or replace them? We’ll explore the differences and help make the decision easier.
Refacing Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen renovation projects are a great option for homeowners who like the layout of their existing kitchens but feel that an update is needed. Sometimes an entire remodel isn’t needed. This is a situation where you may want to explore refacing your cabinets. If your cabinets are still structurally sound, refacing them is the perfect option. With refacing, think of it as almost putting a new “skin” on your cabinets. Transforming the style and color is easy with refacing. You’ll want to make sure that you’re working with a trusted contractor so that your cabinet refacing has a seamless look.
Total Cabinet Replacement
Refacing may not be for every homeowner, though. If your kitchen is more outdated, it might need a total overhaul or remodel. When the cabinets themselves are structurally weak or just don’t look very good, it’s best just to opt for new cabinets. You can also change the layout of your kitchen with a remodel, so that opens up the option of putting cabinets in different places and of different shapes.
Painting Kitchen Cabinets
The final option you’ve got for updating your cabinets is painting them. This, of course, depends on the material and look of your cabinets. You may not be confident that you can do a good job and may not be able to find a quality painter in your area. If your cabinets are in good condition, painting is a great way to give your kitchen a fresh look with a small budget.
