If you’re anything like me, you’re always looking for simple ways to freshen up your living spaces without spending too much. Often ignored, cabinet doors can actually transform your home by just swapping them out or giving them a quick makeover.
1. Double the Pieces
Multi-piece doors add depth and draw to any space. I love using them in changing spaces for an added design part.
2. Feel Touches
Add feel elements like ribbed glass or lines for a unique look. I’m a fan of vertical lines; they add height and draw to my cabinet doors.
3. Stand Out
Adding stand details on doors brings a touch of timeless beauty. I used these on my food storage doors, and they add a homey feel.
4. Netted Look
A metal netting panel over mirrored doors can add a feel surprise. I find this perfect for cabinets that hold less-than-tidy items.
5. Country Style
Adding wire netting to your cabinets gives them a country-style beauty. I did this in my food storage, and it’s useful and stylish.
6. Add the Detail
Detailed cabinet doors give a subtle, elegant feel that takes the room up a level. They’re a personal favorite for adding simple class.
7. Paint it Beautiful
A new paint color can really do wonders for your cabinet doors. Choose gentle pastels or striking vibrant colors to set the vibe; I remember when I turned my kitchen around with a subtle seafoam tint that made every morning feel like springtime.
8. Detail and Style
Giving your cabinet doors some attractive detail can instantly kick their style up a notch. I’ve used easy wood detailing in my lounge to add a timeless look, making them seem specially made.
9. Two Tone
Go for two-tone cabinets for strong visual draw. I often use this on lower cabinets to ground the space with darker colors.
10. Love Open Racks
Taking off cabinet doors completely can open up your space. My small cooking area feels much bigger now that I went with open racks.
11. Covering Wonders
Who says coverings are just for walls? Put pretty coverings on your cabinet doors to bring in some feel and design; it’s a stress-free way to play around without needing to commit for the long haul. The floral design I put on my powder room cabinets always brings a smile to my face.
12. Glam Glass
Glass-front cabinets can beautifully show off your favorite items while keeping the space neat. I love using this in my dining area to show off old servingware.
13. Hardware is Key
Sometimes all you need is a hardware upgrade to change your cabinet doors. Try mixing metals for a modern twist; I swapped mine for brass and never looked back.
14. Dream Big
If you’re brave enough, think about big cabinet doors to hide machines and simplify your cooking area. I love how this keeps my busy cooking area looking smooth and neat.
15. Bent Beauty
Add bent cabinet doors for a touch of elegance and uniqueness. They’re a bit risky, but in my view, they add a soft, inviting feel.
16. Artful Touches
Think about image inlays for a touch of art and luxury. It’s a bigger spend, but the result is stunning and timeless.
