Brighten Up Kitchen Cabinets in Inexpensive Ways

So one day, you sit on your kitchen countertop feeling bored and dull. You realize that the kitchen ambiance is no longer working for you. It hasn’t been a positive place for a while. And since you spend tons of time in there, you’d want a kitchen that gives off a positive aura and one that will make you feel upbeat when doing the cooking and all the kitchen stuff.

But kitchen remodeling has been put off for a while because you don’t like the expenses. So you deal with the boring kitchen for a while too. That’s about to change now if you try these inexpensive ways to brighten up your kitchen cabinets.

You can just start with the kitchen cabinets first, since they’re fairly easy to improve given the lack of budget. In fact, changing the cabinets will change the entire look of the kitchen and it’s something you’ll be more than happy to settle for, at least for now.

·         New hardware. Do you notice that your pulls and knobs are looking tarnished? Get some new ones that are inexpensive. You can find them if you’re determined. This can easily improve the look of your kitchen cabinets.

·         New paint. Kitchen remodeling can be done without burning a hole in your pocket, if you choose to just paint first. The fact is that your kitchen may be looking dull or boring because of the outdated color. It may be time for a change. You can opt to paint your kitchen cabinets yourself. Buy paint, some sandpaper and cleaner. However, do know that proper preparation is needed when repainting. If you don’t know how, this can ruin your cabinetry.
Keep colors light if you want the kitchen to appear more spacious. Sand every time you paint one coat, so the end product looks perfect. When painting doors, don’t turn it over unless the painted side is completely dry. More importantly, clean the cabinets completely before painting.

·         Add crown mold. Crown molding can do wonders on kitchen remodeling. Just put those on your old cabinets and it will add a new touch to them.

·         New glass inserts. What about changing the old glass on your cabinet doors? Decorative glass is a good addition. However, your cabinet doors should have a removable panel so you can insert the new glass.

·         LED Lights. Adding under-cabinet lights are expensive. If you really want lights, you can do away with peel-and-stick lights that are just battery powered. Best of all, these LED lights can last up to thousands of hours of usage.

How do these tips sound? Fairly easy right? Nevertheless, if you have the spare cash and want to make sure that your kitchen remodeling ends up great, you can always assign the task to a professional kitchen cabinet maker. This way, you don’t need to put in the effort and you’re assured that your kitchen will look awesome.
