Add Pizazz To Your Old Kitchen With Kitchen Cabinet Door Replacements

When your kitchen cabinets start to look dull and damaged, stop and take a closer look, and you’ll realize that the doors are the only parts of the cabinets that have sustained the most damage. After all, cabinet boxes get very little use compared to doors that are opened and closed many times a day. Since it is very expensive to replace the entire cabinet system, you may want to consider simply replacing the kitchen cabinet door. There are dozens of different styles and finishes to choose from, and you can even shop right on your own computer.

Probably the closest match you’ll get will be if you buy unfinished doors from the same wood as your cabinet frames and then stain them yourself. Although you can buy pre-finished doors, they may end up being a different color than the parts of the frames that will show between them. Correct color differentiation can be eye-catching, but it usually happens that the colors are different enough that everyone wonders if they don’t match. With tint, you can always try different colors, two different colors at a time, and multiple layers to get a close match.

One of the best things about buying replacement kitchen cabinet doors is that you don’t have to disrupt the entire life of your family like you do with a complete remodel. There will be no plumbing to change, no appliances to move, no countertops to remove. Life can continue as usual. In fact, most of the work can be done outside of the kitchen itself. Replacement hardware can be installed on the doors before they are brought into the kitchen and hung. Staining and varnishing, if you choose to go the unfinished route, will also be done somewhere other than the kitchen. If you decide to replace entire cabinets, your kitchen could be in shambles for weeks.

All in all, replacing your kitchen cabinet doors will be less expensive and much less disruptive than replacing entire cabinets. If you’re lucky, you may even be able to find prefinished doors to match your existing frames. Then all you have to do is remove the old doors and hang the new ones.
