If you’re living in an older home that was constructed in a time when things were built to last, chances are your kitchen cabinets might just need to be refaced, rather than replaced. On the other hand, if your cabinets have seen better days and are starting to fall apart or the hardware is rusty, then replacing is your best option.
Here are some major reasons a full, new cabinet installation might make sense for you:
Your cabinets are old and outdated. Bringing your kitchen up-to-date style-wise will make you feel more comfortable in your space. It will also add tremendous value to your home should you ever decide to sell. Having new kitchen cabinets – perhaps designed to include more storage space – will make your life much easier on a day-to-day basis.
Increase storage space. If you have trouble fitting everything into your cabinets and are sick of the clutter, new cabinetry will see that there’s a place for everything. Having additional storage space will make cooking more enjoyable. You will have easier access to everything you need. As they say, “a place for everything and everything in its place.”
Match the rest of your decor. If you’ve changed the look of your kitchen, but your cabinets remain the same, there might be an odd flow to the space. You really want to ensure that your kitchen cabinets match the look of the rest of your kitchen, otherwise, it might not evoke the feeling you’re going for. For instance, if your cabinets are painted blue and the rest of your kitchen is made up of more sedate colours, it won’t look or feel right.
Make a great first impression. When you can step back, look at your new kitchen cabinets and revel in the delight of how they seamlessly flow with the rest of your kitchen design, you will be proud to show off your space. You want people to feel at ease there and also appreciate the hard work that went into getting your kitchen to its new level of style!
Increase in property value. Modern cabinetry and under cabinet lighting, in addition to new appliances, can increase the value of your home. But besides the financial gains, think of the satisfaction you and your family will get spending time in a kitchen with modern, clean cabinets.
Better functionality. If your heavy sighs can be heard all over the house when you have to go into your kitchen to cook a meal, you’ve got a bit of a problem. By adding new, reconfigured cabinets in your kitchen, you will actually be able to use the space for what it should have been intended for – easily accessing the things you need.
