During the holiday season, homeowners often host family gatherings. After spending all day in your kitchen preparing a meal for a large group, you may begin to notice the limitations of the space you have. When putting together your holiday wish list this season, consider the advantages of the following kitchen cabinet upgrades and other remodeling projects:
1) Storage Improvements
Outdated kitchen cabinet designs often present storage challenges to today’s homeowners. Fixed shelves may be too short to accommodate larger items such as stockpots and full-sized blenders, and poorly designed corner units can make it difficult to reach items in the back of the cabinet. Upgrading your cabinets with sliding shelves and corner lazy susans will provide you with easy access to your kitchen tools.
2) Cabinet Refacing
You don’t have to completely remove your current cabinets, especially if you are satisfied with your storage configuration. A cabinet refacing, which involves replacing all your existing cabinet doors and drawer fronts, can give your kitchen a whole new look in a very short time. Choose a cabinet door design to complement your home, or create a bold look with contrast.
3) Cabinet Hardware Replacement
To make a more subtle change to your kitchen, you can replace the hardware on your cabinets. Get rid of your old squeaky hinges and replace them with modern, quiet Euro hinges. Replace rusted or worn-out knobs with new handles. Choose from matte or shiny finishes, with simple modern lines or classic ornamentation.
4) New Countertops
Quartz composite or granite counter tops are one of the most beautiful and useful kitchen upgrades for your home. Depending on the material you choose, you can place hot pots and pans directly on the counter without trivets. Granite counter tops are easy to clean after messy holiday cooking projects, such as rolling out dough or decorating cookies.
