Modernize Your Kitchen Cabinets in 5 Easy Steps

A refresh of old cabinets transforms any kitchen into something inspiring, open and clutter-free without breaking the bank.
 
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - April 9, 2015 - PRLog -- Is your kitchen feeling like a dungeon instead of the lively center of family activity it should be? You may dream of a complete renovation, but your budget says no. Here are five economical ideas for a complete kitchen refresh that imparts an open look while creating more space and reducing clutter.

1 – Remove Underutilized Cabinets

Take a hard look inside each upper and lower kitchen cabinet to find unused space, things you never use or things that belong somewhere else. Re-organize dishes, pots, pans and sundries so that you can remove cabinets or re-purpose them to something more open.

2 – Add Cabinet Organizers

To make more efficient use of every cabinet, shop the multitude of organizers available that make contents more accessible and reduce countertop clutter. Roll-out utensil racks, pot and lid hangers, spice shelves and mini-pantries help every cabinet hold more and make contents easily accessible. Stylish countertop or backsplash organizers leave you with more open space too.

3 – Install Open Shelving

Open shelving for collectibles, plates, cups, glasses or bowl sets enlarge your kitchen while creating a more inviting ambiance. Do this by removal or conversion of a cabinet that is holding the items you want on display. If you are worried about dust, hang sliding, translucent doors across the shelves.

4 – Cabinet Painting

Painting kitchen cabinets is far easier and less costly than replacing or re-facing them. Choose white or another bright shade to create virtual space and more light. If those hues do not play well with the rest of the home, consider rich, creamy hues with color accents. Use paint with an eggshell or semi-gloss finish that is durable and easy to clean.

5 – Make Your Kitchen Sparkle

Finally, add the finishing touches. Replace cabinet hardware with modern designs that add character or charm. Consider LED strip lights at the back of open shelves in any color. Perhaps having removed one or more upper cabinets, you have room for a window to add natural light. Look at glass tile or bright ceramic to cover or replace the existing backsplash.

For far less cost and hassle of a remodel, you will have transformed the look and feel of your kitchen with these easy steps. Once again, it will become an energized, welcoming space for family and guests.
