Updating Your Cabinets to a Fresh New Look

upgrading cabinetsWhether you plan for a complete home remodel or just want to make a few quick modifications on weekends, when every dime counts, it’s essential to go for projects that can make a huge impact for the least price possible. Keep your focus on the results (remove those $1,000 light fixtures from your mind) and be prepared to get your hands a little paint sprayed, and you will definitely achieve your dream home at any budget. Here are a few tips to give your cabinets a fresh new look.

New Hardware

Classic hardware is a sensible upgrade, delicately enhancing the look and atmosphere of the whole space. Just keep a keen eye on the cost of each piece, when you shop, because it goes on adding up fast, particularly if your kitchen is large with several cabinets.

Count the pulls and knobs you will need so that you can quickly decide if the hardware you desire will fit your budget. With numerous lovely pieces available for $10 or even less, you don’t need to blow the budget.

Repaint Cabinets

If your cabinets are looking dated or you wish to offer them a more personal touch than the standard white, think about painting them. Try colors like pale green, warm putty or duck egg blue. All these are versatile shades that go with various materials and finishes.

Painting Half the Cabinets for Contrast

A combo of black and white with metal and wood accents looks smooth and modern. Get such a look by painting the cabinet only at the bottom half and leave the upper part white.

Simple Shelves

No upper cabinets? Add simple rustic shelves made in wood with metal brackets. They can be easily installed and offer a functional display space.
