A great option to jumpstart your kitchen renovation project is kitchen cabinet makeover. Updating or changing your kitchen cabinets can have a huge impact on the overall look and feel of your kitchen. Here are a few ideas to jump start your kitchen cabinet makeover project plan:
Open Shelving
If looking to give your kitchen a makeover, consider using open shelves in place of traditional kitchen cabinets. Open shelves are becoming more and more popular in modern and contemporary kitchens. Shelves are a great option for smaller kitchens as it gives the illusion of more open space. Open shelves also place attention on the backsplash. If you have invested in a contemporary kitchen backsplash, open shelves in your kitchen are perfect for showcasing your investment.
Glass front cabinets
Glass Front cabinets are another popular trend in modern kitchen design. This design allows designers to add color by painting the inside of the cabinets or incorporating under cabinet lighting to create a unique look. Some other options for creating a creative design with glass front cabinets is incorporating color via painting the background or using colored or patterned dishes. If you like the concept of glass front cabinets but want to hide the clutter in your cabinets, consider frosted glass or textured glass.
Small Kitchen Cabinet Updates
If your kitchen renovation budget is smaller, perhaps start with a few smaller projects. Although these projects are on a smaller scale, the impact can be great. Some inexpensive and basic options to upgrade your current kitchen cabinets are:
Change hardware: Swap out the old knobs and hands for newer, stylish hardware
Paint cabinets: Give your kitchen cabinets a face lift by painting your cabinets a new color
