1. Kitchen Cabinet Ideas
Cabinets are the priciest element
in the kitchen, thus careful consideration
is needed before buying. Find design,
style, and color ideas so you can pick the
right cabinets for your kitchen. If you are
planning about remodeling your kitchen,
you primary need to have a budget. This
will determine if you can replace the
cabinets, flooring and appliances, or if
you will do only cosmetic changes. Once
it comes to kitchen cabinets ideas, there
are three levels of remodeling. You can
sand the cabinets, refinish or paint them,
and add new hardware. White cabinets
against colored walls are a well-liked
color choice for this type of remodel, and
especially work fine in small or poorly-lighted kitchens. This is the cheapest alternative and can make a
world of difference to a dark or obsolete kitchen.
The second option for kitchen cabinet remodeling is to have an expert replace the cabinet doors
and hardware with something more contemporary and add laminate facing to the further parts of the
cabinets thus they will match the doors. This is pricier than just painting the cabinets, but you can get a
more formal look. Both processes take approximately the same amount of time. The third kitchen cabinets
ideas option is to have the cabinets completely replaced. This is very costly compared to the other two
options, can only be done by an expert, and will take much longer and make a larger mess in your home.
But, if you are expanding or rearranging your whole kitchen as part of the remodel, total cabinet
replacement is typically needed in order that the newly added cabinets will match the old ones.
Appliances are another very costly stuff to replace. It is finest to stick with white, black or steel
appliances because they will match any future color schemes and will never go out of fashion. If you don't
have the money to replace out-of-date appliances, you can check home improvement stores for panels that
can be glued onto the front of the dishwasher to change its color, or there is now paint that is made for
painting refrigerators. Other kitchen cabinet ideas, if your counters are out-of-date, but you can't afford to
replace them; there are laminates and paints which you can apply to your existing counters to provide
them a fresher look.
If you have a linoleum floor which is in need of replacing, you can replace it with self-adhesive
vinyl tiles. Depending on the quality of your existing floor (and how well it is glued down), you can drag
it up or you can put the adhesive tiles straightly on top of it. There are some excellent new adhesive tiles
which are textured and look like stone tiles. They're very costly looking as soon as laid, but are about the
same cost as other vinyl tiles-which, in turn, are cheaper and easier to lay than linoleum. If you decide to
2. have real tile laid in your kitchen, you will need to have an expert lay it, and it will take longer to finish
than the adhesive tiles.
