Your kitchen cabinets are a very big investment. They take up a
ton of area in the room and are a main focal point. You definitely don’t want
them to look cheap or shabby. Of course, applying a new layer of paint can
update your cabinets, and add new layers of depth and “feel” to
your kitchen, but what are some other tips and tricks to make your kitchen
cabinets look better than ever? Here are a few from the experts at Naffco
Floors & Interiors:
Add Crown Molding
Dressing
up your cabinets with some upper trim creates a much more sophisticated look.
This relatively cheap and easy installation makes your cabinets look much
more upscale and expensive. It helps blend the cabinets in with the wall and
ceiling, rather than having them look like boxes set against the
wall.
Update cabinet handles
This is a
quick, cheap, and simple way to give your kitchen a little refresh. You can
go with a more modern and sleek stainless steel, or a more vintage/retro look
by choosing rustic wood. You can always purchase a few, try them out, and
return the ones you don’t use. Whatever choice you make, it will freshen up
your cabinets and give them a more expensive look.
Paint
the walls
You can certainly paint your cabinets to try and
update them, but you can also start by painting the walls. Use a color that
will compliment the color of your kitchen cabinets to make them look better.
If you have a dark or eccentric color on your cabinets use a neutral color
like white, eggshell, light gray, or greige. If your cabinets are neutral,
you can go for a more creative color. Use blue or green to add a calm tone to
your room or yellow or red to warm it up.
