Kitchens are a trendy room to upgrade, and they can increase the value of your home. However, sometimes it’s not in the budget for a complete gut so another emerging trend is to consider refinishing or replacing the cabinet doors only either by repainting or refacing.
Refacing means replacing the doors and existing cabinet boxes but ensuring they are in good condition and don’t need to be replaced.
Repainting is just that. Both approaches are cost-effective, no layout changes are required, and it’s a relatively quick and straightforward process. MDF cabinet doors allow for a simple, modern look, and we often don’t use hardware. Painted MDF panels are easy to clean and come in a variety of colours.
Large kitchens allow for the option not to have top cabinets and have lower cabinets only. This creates an airy and uncluttered kitchen. However, for smaller kitchens, we always suggest an area of floor-to-ceiling cabinets – this utilizes the height of the space and provides maximum storage.
The use of colour is essential, and two colour kitchens are still trendy, with darker coloured bottoms and white or lighter coloured upper cabinets. Floating shelves are a great feature too for displaying spices, plates, or your favorite ceramic mugs.
