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.
