When you have cheap cabinets, there are a lot of things that you can do to change their appearance. Remodeling your cheap cabinets is a task that can be done easily with just a few tools and a little knowhow.
What You’ll Need:
- Stain
- Wood Trim
- Paint
- Sand Paper
- Wood Filler
- Cabinet Hardware
- Wood Veneer Sheets
- Premade Cabinet Doors
- Furniture Refinishing Kit
- Sketch Pad

- Try a quick fix by adding new doors and painting the cabinets. Start off by sanding the cabinets while they are still attached and using wood filler on any dents. You can then add white paint to the lower and upper part of the cabinets. Use 3 coats of paint when you are ready to paint the shelves the desired color. Once the paint has dried you can add the new doors as well as any new hardware.
- Try a refinishing-freshening kit for furniture on the cabinets for a less drastic change. Using a package of materials for your 3 step process is the best way to restore the look.
- Try mixing different colors and looks for the cabinets to make them look more unique and expensive. You can paint the top part of the cabinet’s one color and the lower half a different color. Make sure that the colors complement each other as well as the rest of your kitchen.
- Apply wood glue to any sheets of veneer over the wood cabinets that are dented. Stain or paint the veneer and use wood trim on the corners.
