Ideas for Kitchen Cabinet Refacing

If your kitchen cabinets are old and dirty, you may not need to get new cabinets to have a clean look again.  If you are tired of the same color in your kitchen and want something fresh, you don’t need to spend all the expense on new cabinets.  Refacing your existing cabinets can make your kitchen feel brand new.

• Paint your cabinets yourself.  Adding a new paint color to the cabinets can create the feel of a new and improved kitchen.  Many colors can be chosen or a combination of different colors.


• Cut out the center of the cabinet doors.  Many things can be added in the middle of the door depending on the décor and style of your kitchen.  Fabric, glass, acrylic or wire mesh can be added to the empty space.


• Redesign the cabinets by adding nice touches to what you already have.  Use a stencil design that coordinates with your kitchen to paint the cabinet doors.  Carve designs into the doors to add some interest to your cabinets.


• Use wallpaper to reface your kitchen cabinets.  Apply it completely to the front of just around the border of the door.


• Remove some of the doors completely and display your beautiful china or other dishes and vases.


• Buy a kit that includes everything you need to reface your cabinets.  No sanding is required because it is already prepared and ready to be painted.


• Purchase new doors already prepared to be hung to your old cabinets.  This will save you time and work.  Find something that would complement the style and colors in your kitchen.
