Kitchen cabinets experience maximum wear and tear due to the very nature of their utility. They are most affected by the heat, grease, food residues and stains that result from cooking. Sooner or later, you come to the decision that your kitchen cabinets need a makeover. Replacing kitchen cabinets can be an expensive option. A less expensive and often more creative option may be to replace or repaint kitchen cabinet doors.
Search the market and you will find that you can use professional expertise to get custom made laminate doors for your cabinets. These laminated doors imitate wood and do not require painting. Professional cabinetmakers will make doors of any size and color.
This is not to say that you can’t get doors made from real wood. Popular woods for cabinet doors include maple, oak, and cherry. If wood isn’t your style, you can even think in terms of stainless steel or glass. To get the perfect fit, measure your existing doors carefully and provide the measurements to the manufacturer. Also, remember to choose the perfect style for your cabinet doors. Styles vary from raised to curved or even flat with intricate molding.
You can also express yourself by painting your kitchen cabinet doors yourself. Not only will you have the satisfaction of doing your job yourself, but you’ll also be able to reduce the additional costs of hiring a professional. But keep in mind that all work can take a period of at least three days.
To paint your doors, you’ll first need to thoroughly clean them and remove all stains to get a smooth, even finish. Also, you should fill in all cracks and scratch marks with wood filler. Then apply a coat of paint using steady strokes. You can also consider spray painting for a more uniform and modern look. Add the finishing touch by choosing stylish knobs for your fresh new cabinet doors.
