A kitchen remodel is a big investment, but there are ways to minimize costs while maximizing the value of your home. Replacing doors and drawer fronts, instead of tearing out all of your cabinetry and starting over, a homeowner can reinvigorate a dated kitchen, cutting costs for the remodel.
Drawers
Like everything in our world today, technological advances in cabinetry have progressed as well. Drawer slides have evolved from a simple wooden ridge to a mechanical soft close feature. The size of your drawer may determine whether you choose a side-mount, center-mount, or undermount slide. Over time, slides bend or begin to stick, lose their smoothness because of paint or grime build-up. Re-fabricating old slides is an option, but if you are replacing the entire box, certainly new slides would make the up-grade complete.
Door fronts
New styled door and drawer fronts for your cabinets along with updated hardware, a new color or stain, can bring new life to your kitchen. Limitless designs will give you plenty of options for your make-over. Consider beaded panels if you prefer the country look or frosted glass for a more contemporary look. The right color for your style, perhaps paint or a dark or light stain, will help integrate the overall design you are after.
Hardware
The finishing touch to your new drawers or door fronts is the hardware. Hidden hinges create a smooth look for your new door fronts, available with the same soft close concept as the drawers. Pulls and knobs are one of the best ways to create a new polished update to your kitchen. Chrome, stainless, black, curved, ornate, glass or stone: knobs and pulls serve as accents to your style and finish the new door fronts and drawers effectively.
Replacing your cabinet doors and drawers is a cost-effective way to modernize your kitchen on a budget. They receive the most wear in the kitchen and removing them, refinishing your cabinets to match, and putting in new door fronts and drawers will make your old cabinets new.
