Tips for Decorating Your Kitchen Cabinets

 

Something that takes up a lot of room in a kitchen and is often one of the main, if not the actual main, focal point is the kitchen cabinets. Redecorating a kitchen can get expensive but if you want to change your kitchen cabinets this does not mean that you have to go out and buy brand new ones. One thing that is great about kitchen cabinets and decorating is that you can work with what you have and still come out with something completely different and new and fresh. Here are some helpful tips for decorating the cabinets in your kitchen.


Normally you will be working with two types of cabinetry, you will either have the face frame and the frameless cabinets in your kitchen or perhaps you have a little bit of both. A face frame cabinet is easily enough to describe as a cabinet that has a door, or a curtain, that covers the contents of what the cabinet is holding. A frameless cabinet is one that does not have a cover of any sort and the contents are displayed in the kitchen especially if you have someĀ wooden dinnerware sets. If you have face frame cabinets in your kitchen and want to upgrade to faceless cabinets the transition is very cheap. Simply by taking off the cover, removing the hinges and adding putty to the holes they leave and then painting the inside and outside of the cabinets will be the entire transformation. If you are wanting to upgrade from frameless to face frame it certainly will be more costly.

You have several options for covering your cabinets. A very frugal option is to use fabric instead of wood and a very expensive option is to use glass instead of solid food. Depending on your budget and style will determine what you choose to do. If you paint your cabinets make sure you paint the inside, people often regret not painting the insides of their cabinets to save time or money because then every time they open it they are reminded of it being unfinished. Some people like to add a bit of flavor to their kitchen by choosing a contrasting color to their kitchen so that when you open a cabinet it pops. To save money you can just paint over the cabinets you have, rather than buying new ones, and if you like update their hardware.

Consider getting removable shelf lining for your cabinets so you can always take it off if needed. Once you know what it is that you want your cabinets to look like you can buy the supplies that you will need for decorating them.
