Affordable DIY Kitchen Cabinet Upgrades
Kitchen renovations can be pricey and time-consuming. But they don’t have to be! There are quick, affordable changes you can make to your kitchen that can instantly make the space feel updated, stylish, and high-end—including changes to your cabinetry.
A recent article from realtor.com outlined affordable ways to make kitchen cabinets look more expensive, including:
Change the color with a fresh coat of paint. Changing the color of your cabinets can completely change the look and feel of your kitchen—and painting is a relatively affordable upgrade. If you want your kitchen makeover to feel modern and on-trend, try muted earth tones (like blues or greens).
Add brass hardware. Changing your hardware is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to update your kitchen cabinets—and brass hardware can give your kitchen a more luxe, expensive feel.
Add visual interest to cabinet interiors. If you have glass-front cabinets, adding visual interest to the interior of the cabinet—for example, painting them or adding a patterned peel-and-stick wallpaper—will give them a more custom (and therefore, more expensive) feel.
