Neutral colors like black, white, gray, and beige can serve as trim and accents.<\/p>\n<p>If your walls are blue, for example, paint the cabinets navy and give them a white trim.<\/p>\n<p>Analogous color schemes are also popular options. They combine three colors that sit directly beside each other on the color wheel.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you have yellow walls, consider making your cabinets mint green and robins-egg blue for a cool color scheme. You could also use dark red and deep orange for a warmer look.<\/p>\n<p>Once you choose a paint color you like, the following steps will get it onto your walls:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Take off all knobs and other hardware<\/li>\n<li>Remove the cabinet doors<\/li>\n<li>Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dust and debris<\/li>\n<li>Apply primer to help the paint stick better<\/li>\n<li>Paint the cabinet one area at a time<\/li>\n<li>Wait for all surfaces to dry<\/li>\n<li>Reattach the hardware and put your cabinet back in place<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Following these directions ensures a long-lasting, smooth finish.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2><strong> 2.

However, plastic hardware also provides a sleek and contemporary aesthetic.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing to consider is the size of your cabinet door. You need the hardware to be the appropriate size for your cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, a drawer pull should be about 1\/3 the length of the drawer. A cabinet knob should almost always be between one and two inches in diameter.<\/p>\n<p>Once you determine what size hardware you need, think about the style you want. If you want a modern-looking kitchen aesthetic, a knob made from sleek, polished brass or steel is a great choice. It can be spherical or geometric with clean, sharp lines.<\/p>\n<p>Colored glass and clear or tinted plastic are also great alternatives. It all depends on your tastes and preferences!<\/p>\n<p>Once you choose new hardware:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Remove the old, pre-existing hardware<\/li>\n<li>Measure and mark their locations<\/li>\n<li>Ensure that you want the new hardware in the same place (this will usually be easier assuming that everything is the same size)<\/li>\n<li>Mark the locations for new screw holes if need be<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re using the same screw holes, insert the new screws into them instead<\/li>\n<li>Line the new hardware up with drill holes\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Push the fastening screw into the new hardware<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Screw everything together<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2><strong> 3. Add Crown Molding or Decorative Trim <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Crown molding is a type of\u00a0cabinet finish that adorns the space around cabinets. It goes at the top of the walls where they hit the ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, wood or plaster in ornamental shapes goes in the upper corner of the walls. Sometimes, people also use other materials like plastic or polyurethane to create crown molding trim when\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/how-much-does-a-small-kitchen-remodel-cost-also-is-it-worth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">renovating small kitchens<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Curved concave designs are perfect for\u00a0kitchen cabinet remodeling. They offer a delicate way to make a seamless transition between your wall cabinets and your ceiling. Evenly-spaced block patterns are another minimalist option for homeowners who want simple cabinet trim.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something more ornate, egg-and-dart crown molding is inspired by Greek architecture. It showcases half-ovals that dip down to touch the bottom of the trim in the center. Between them, small triangular shapes may have intricate patterns carved into them.<\/p>\n<p>To\u00a0<strong><em>attach crown molding to kitchen cabinets<\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Measure your cabinets<\/li>\n<li>Attach pine boards to the top of their surface<\/li>\n<li>Cut your crown molding with a miter saw<\/li>\n<li>Install the molding with nails every inch or two across the surface<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If your cabinets aren&#8217;t high up enough for crown molding, that&#8217;s okay &#8211; there are\u00a0<strong><em>other decorative trim options<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0you&#8217;re sure to love!<\/p>\n<p>Consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Corner molding that shapes the cabinet seamlessly and eliminates gaps at the corners<\/li>\n<li>Base molding for cabinets that sit on the floor<\/li>\n<li>Light rail molding that works with cabinet lighting<\/li>\n<li>Toe kick molding that goes underneath the lower cabinet base to create more space<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can use several of the same design types regardless of the trim variety you choose.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2><strong> 4.

Reface Cabinets with New Veneers or Panels <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>A wood veneer is a\u00a0<strong><em>thin, decorative covering<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0<\/em>for a cabinet. They&#8217;re\u00a0<strong><em>made from extremely thin natural wood layers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These layers were peeled in sheets from a log. To\u00a0<strong>reface kitchen cabinets,\u00a0<\/strong>you can bond them with adhesive to all sides of the stronger wood that makes up the cabinet structure.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/study.com\/academy\/lesson\/what-is-wood-veneer-types-uses.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wood veneers<\/a><\/span>\u00a0come in several varieties, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maple<\/li>\n<li>Oak<\/li>\n<li>Pine<\/li>\n<li>Ash<\/li>\n<li>Birch<\/li>\n<li>Cedar<\/li>\n<li>Cherry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The possibilities are limitless!\u00a0<strong><em>Wood veneers are also exceptionally easy to install since many come with peel-and-stick backing<\/em><\/strong>.

Switch to Open Shelving for a Contemporary Look <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Another affordable kitchen renovation option for those who want to keep their cabinets is to simply remove the doors. Then:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remove the hinges and other hardware<\/li>\n<li>Paint, sand down, or add veneers to the inside of the cabinet<\/li>\n<li>Organize the items inside in an aesthetically pleasing configuration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This new open shelving looks contemporary and interesting. It also:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lets you show off dishware and cooking utensils<\/li>\n<li>Makes room for decorative items<\/li>\n<li>Allows you to express yourself with different item layouts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Plus, everything will be easy to reach and access while cooking or cleaning!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\ud06c\uae30\ubcc0\ud6586.-shutterstock_2036612666-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Enhance accessibility to your kitchen essentials with open shelving.\" class=\"wp-image-4290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\ud06c\uae30\ubcc0\ud6586.-shutterstock_2036612666-scaled.jpg 1707w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\ud06c\uae30\ubcc0\ud6586.-shutterstock_2036612666-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\ud06c\uae30\ubcc0\ud6586.-shutterstock_2036612666-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\ud06c\uae30\ubcc0\ud6586.-shutterstock_2036612666-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\ud06c\uae30\ubcc0\ud6586.-shutterstock_2036612666-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\ud06c\uae30\ubcc0\ud6586.-shutterstock_2036612666-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\ud06c\uae30\ubcc0\ud6586.-shutterstock_2036612666-20x30.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\ud06c\uae30\ubcc0\ud6586.-shutterstock_2036612666-19x28.jpg 19w, https:\/\/www.lxhausys.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\ud06c\uae30\ubcc0\ud6586.-shutterstock_2036612666-585x877.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Enhance accessibility to your kitchen essentials with open shelving.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong> Beyond How to Update Kitchen Cabinets Without Replacing Them <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Now that you have some ideas for how to\u00a0<strong>update kitchen cabinets without replacing them<\/strong>, it&#8217;s time to start renovating your cooking space.<\/p>\n<p>LX Hausys is committed to providing you with tips on how to\u00a0<strong>reface kitchen cabinets.\u00a0<\/strong>Beyond that, we also offer products like custom cabinetry and high-quality quartz countertop slabs.
