The cabinets in your home may be old and show their age, but if you like the layout design, you may not want to replace them. Instead, you can do other things to renovate the kitchen in your home, such as refinish the cabinetry and replace the countertops. The following guide will help you make the right choices to update the counters and cabinetry so you can renovate your home with a new modern look: 

Carefully Removing Cabinets, Repairing and Replacing Them for A Fresh Look  

If you want to give your kitchen a fresh new look, remove the old cabinet units to repair them and replace them. If some of the units are damaged during removal, take measurements to order new units to be installed. There are cabinet manufacturers, like Kraftmaid cabinets, that can premanufacture the units and deliver them to your home ready-to-install.  

Create an Open Kitchen Design with Glass and Kitchen Shelving to Replace Old Cabinets  

Another option that you may want to consider to change the design of your kitchen is removing high cabinets and replacing them with shelves. If you still want to have a couple of high cabinets above the countertops, order cabinet doors with glass in them to give them a more open concept design. 

Affordable and Durable Countertop Alternatives with Wood Materials for Your Kitchen  

There are also options for alternative materials to use for the countertops in your kitchen. Rather than using conventional low-cost materials like compressed particle-board with a veneer finish, consider options like epoxy surfaces or solid wood countertop surfaces for a durable and attractive surface in your kitchen.  If you choose wood countertops, there are also options to build kitchen shelving that matches these surface for a unique and uniform design. 

Timeless and Durable Kitchen Countertops with Solid Surface Materials for Your New Kitchen  

The solid surface countertops in the kitchen are one of the best choices for a timeless design in your kitchen. There are options like stone, lightweight concrete with acid stained finish and granite or marble. These countertop materials will last for generations with a minimal amount of care and are resistant to damage due to water and other common issues in the kitchen.  

These are some tips to update the countertops and cabinetry in your home to renovate the outdated design. If you are ready to change the look of your home, contact a cabinet service and talk to them about helping with some of these improvements.
