Renovating your bathroom or kitchen cabinets can be a great way to give your space a fresh, new look without having to completely remodel the space. Whether you’re looking to update your kitchen’s style, improve functionality, or just want to give your cabinets a facelift, there are many different options to consider.
The chief among them is cost. Fresh cabinets are often a high priority for home renovations, and an average kitchen cabinetry remodel costs $6,500. Updating your bathroom cabinets can run up to $1,200, which can quickly take a big chunk out of your renovation budget.
What if you could update your existing cabinets for a fraction of the cost?
Home Improvement Hacks: Cabinet Renovation Ideas
Repaint
One solution is to apply a fresh coat of paint or wood stain. This can be an extremely cost-effective way to renovate your cabinets, and can likely be done entirely by yourself. You can use neutral tones or bright white for a clean, polished look, or you can stain your wooden cabinets to match any new appliances or decor.
Install New Hardware
Knobs and handles on your cabinets do more than just help you open them. They are an essential part of the aesthetic for your entire kitchen or bathroom. You can purchase stock handles from your local hardware store, online, and in many furniture stores. You can also commission custom cabinet or drawer handles from a local craftsman.
Our Favorite: Custom Wooden Cabinet Doors
Assuming there is nothing structurally wrong with your existing cabinets, simply replacing the doors might just be the trick. Rather than buying stock cabinets for your renovation, you can have hand-crafted, one of a kind, custom doors to install on your existing cabinets. Go from dated mid-2000’s style to a modern shaker style, rustic, or even mission style cabinet doors.
In a similar way, you can also have custom wood drawer fronts made to match your new cabinetry. The cabinet boxes can also be refinished to match your new doors and drawer fronts. This adds significant resale value to your home without having to worry about the hassle of removing or re-installing your existing cabinets.
