Is your kitchen in need of a total gut and renovation, or could it benefit from a proper update?
This is an incredibly important question and one that you should be asking yourself before you call a contractor. Not all kitchens need to be gutted. If your cabinets are old and falling apart, yes, you need new ones. But if they are solid wood, they may just need a fresh coat of paint and some soft close hinges. On the other hand, if you are looking to expand your kitchen and take down walls, then yes, you need to gut.
There are many ways to update your kitchen. Painting cabinets, new doors, new countertops and backsplash, new lighting (pendants), new stools, new appliances, adding custom rollout shelves to increase storage, new cabinet hardware, etc.
With the cost of cabinets skyrocketing over the past few years, kitchen updating has become a great alternative. Especially if you already have a high end kitchen with solid wood cabinets, updating would be the ideal solution. With the simple updating of new doors, hardware and hinges, you can change the entire look and feel of your kitchen.
Luckily, there are always new design techniques being created to obtain better results. For example, the process of painting cabinets has improved dramatically over the past few years, with the finish looking like the factory finish of new cabinets. Easily create a focal point in your kitchen by painting the perimeter cabinets one color and the island a different one. Simple techniques like this can make all the difference in your home!
