Kitchen Cabinet Ideas That Won’t Hurt Your Pocket

Posted on August 17, 2021

A complete replacement of your kitchen cabinets can be a complicated and expensive endeavor. Cabinet refinishing offers a less expensive way to transform your kitchen and have you cooking in style!

Refinishing your cabinets may be less of an undertaking, but that doesn’t mean it’s a quick and easy solution to your interior woes. Your kitchen will most likely be difficult to use (or completely unusable) for several days. Time and space are valuable to ensure all refinished cabinets are dry and ready to be mounted, giving your space the enhanced look you desire. We’ve provided some ideas to help you get started:

Two-Tone Cabinets

Mixing and matching an assortment of hues can lead to a surprising result that you once thought unattainable. Leaving behind a mundane one-color scheme can enhance not only your cabinet refinishing efforts, but the whole area as well.

A leaf green and white mixture is a great example of color combinations that could work for your kitchen. The green and white provides a natural and clean look, adding warmth to the room’s feel. The colors can really come to life when paired with wooden furniture and hardwood floors.

Matching Shades

Picking color combinations can leave you exhausted before you even get started. To avoid the trouble, pick a color you love and work with the shades that it provides. A combination of blues or greens can bring to life a beautiful and calming presence just through your refinished cabinets.

An additional measure could be used with your chosen shades, if you want that extra splash of color. Examine how your choices simply match up with white or black for great accents in your kitchen.

Milk Paint

Milk paint is a wonderful beginner’s choice for refinished cabinets. It offers a flat and rich color, fast drying times, and adheres to almost all porous surfaces. Streaks and thin spots are far less noticeable when using milk paint as well. If you’re looking for an easy paint to use, and one that will not fade and lose its color, this is a great place to start!
