How to Update Your Cabinets This Summer

July 24th, 2023 by Joyner Fine Properties

Cabinet Updates

Cabinets not only provide functional storage space but also have a major impact on the look and feel of the room. Many believe cabinets are the cornerstone of your kitchen design.

Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for cabinets to show some signs of wear and tear, so periodic updates are essential for keeping your kitchen looking great. Here are some tips from our real estate agents on how to give your cabinets an update.

Start By Cleaning Them
When was the last time you cleaned your cabinets? We're talking about removing all of your items, wiping out the interiors, and giving the exteriors a good scrub. Your cabinet shelves can easily accumulate water spots, crumbs, and stains. Uncleaned cabinet doors are usually home to grease and grime. Taking the time to deep clean your cabinets can go a long way toward helping them shine. Just check out the super clean cabinets in these Richmond homes for sale.
Add A Fresh Coat Of Paint
Nothing can rejuvenate cabinets quite like a fresh coat of paint. Painting is an easy, affordable, and effective way to give your cabinets a makeover. Choose a color that matches the rest of your kitchen decor, and make sure to choose a type of paint that meshes well with your cabinet material. If you're not sure, don't be afraid to ask for help at your local paint or hardware store. Paint sprayers are often used to paint cabinets to ensure an even distribution of paint across the cabinet's edges and crevices.
Refinish Your Cabinets
If you prefer wood-grain cabinets, you can opt for refinishing and staining your cabinets instead of painting them. Eliminating that old stain and applying a fresh, glossy coat is a great way to breathe new life into your cabinets. If you're not experienced, hiring a professional is a good way to tackle this project. Freshly stained wood cabinets can really create a compelling, high-end look in your kitchen.
Refresh Your Hardware
Perhaps your cabinets are in good shape, but the handles, pulls, and knobs appear outdated or worn out. Try switching out your hardware in exchange for new, shiny pieces. Just make sure to choose colors and styles that match your kitchen. This is one of the easiest and most affordable cabinet updates you can make.
Swap Out Your Cabinet Doors For Glass Panes
If you'd like to put your beautiful dinnerware or China on display, glass pane cabinet doors can bring add an additional touch of elegance to your kitchen. Glass panes also support a modern, open-concept vibe that is definitely in style. Glass pane doors aren't all that expensive, and they're easy to install.

Updating your cabinets is an important step toward maintaining the aesthetic of your kitchen, and it's always a great way to impress potential buyers. Contact us today for more tips on preparing your home for the market.
