Easy Ways Of Overhauling Your Kitchen Cabinets Home Furniture by Rose McKellen - February 27, 2013 Kitchen cabinets are made of different types of wood, and when they tend to bear a worn out look, then there are easy ways of refacing them and giving them a new look rather than changing them altogether. Here are some easy ways of doing that. Paint Your Kitchen Cabinets If you feel that your kitchen looks dark and gloomy, then the easiest way to make it look brighter is to change the color of the cabinets. Shades of yellow and green help to lighten up the space compared to other shades like mahogany and brown. Repainting the surfaces of perfectly functional cabinets is an easy and hassle free option compared to completely overhauling the cabinets altogether. Refacing The Cabinet Surfaces Refacing the kitchen cabinets with new doors and veneer is a cost-effective method in comparison to attaching new cabinets altogether. These will help you to get rid of stained and scratched cabinet surfaces and also implement a new set of hardwares like knobs and handles and redo the look of your kitchen. This way, you can repair the damaged surfaces, and also change the look of your kitchen without incurring heavy costs. Installing Under-Cabinet Lighting Is A Good Option Fixing under-cabinet lights is an effective way of adding dramatic shades to the kitchen. They are also useful for undertaking individual jobs, like you can turn on an under-cabinet light for chopping vegetables rather than switching on two different lights to do so. Such a lighting system will help to save much on your electricity bills as well as play out with lighter and darker shades. image source: http://homedecorinteriordesigns.com
