"Updating your kitchen cabinets from scratch can be a costly and time-consuming process, and it isn't always realistic when you have a busy schedule or tight budget. However, if you're looking to revive worn cabinets without a complete overhaul or replacement, you'll be glad to know that there are some relatively simple ways to give them a refresh. We reached out to Kylie Mawdsley, a home design expert, blogger, and founder of Kylie M. Interiors Design Consulting, to get her advice on the matter."
""Consider your surrounding finishes and the colors that best fit them," recommends Kylie Mawdsley. "In many kitchens, the backsplash calls more shots than the countertop, as it's on the same vertical plane as the cabinets, and your eyes connect them first," she explains. Mawdsley notes that there's a bit more wiggle room when it comes to countertops, as they're not level with the cabinets."
Refreshing kitchen cabinets can avoid costly full replacements by using simple updates like repainting, hardware swaps, and color coordination. Start by choosing colors that harmonize with existing finishes, testing paint undertones against backsplash tiles and countertops. Prioritize matching with the backsplash since it's on the same vertical plane as cabinets and influences perceptions more than countertops. Countertops offer more flexibility. Small projects vary in difficulty but can be tackled with basic DIY skills. Swapping hardware and adjusting color schemes can significantly alter the kitchen's look without a full remodel, saving time and money.
