Be Original and Change your Kitchen Cabinet Doors

Go into any kitchen showroom and you’ll notice one thing straight away – standard kitchens tend to be very generic. They’re all similar, with same-y handles, jelly mould finishings and run-of-the-mill formats. But the whole point of a truly individual kitchen is that not only is it the heart of your home, but it should reflect your personality too. Your likes, your quirkiness, your flair for style – all of this should be considered when you’re planning a kitchen makeover.

How to make your kitchen your own

It’s the little touches that really give an interior a unique, personalised feel, from family pictures to that beloved cracked teapot with the dribbly spout! But for a genuinely individual kitchen that reflects you and your family’s personality, it’s the design concepts that play a key role. And one of the easiest ways to use these to maximum effect without breaking the bank is to change your cabinet doors.

Bespoke fit

Apart from the fact that it’s quick and easy to change your cabinet doors without running up an eye-watering debt, you’ll also get a truly bespoke fit as a good kitchen refurbishment company will tailor make every door to fit the exact space. Even if your kitchen is a ‘generic’ one, you will find that over time tiny discrepancies creep in, even if it’s only by a couple of millimetres. But buying off-the-shelf replacement doors from a DIY store means that they won’t fit exactly, and you’ll be left with a less-than-perfect finish. If you’re going to invest in original kitchen cabinet doors then do it right from the outset, and have bespoke doors made that fit your unique kitchen.

Easy to change your mind 

It’s your kitchen, it’s your family home, so it’s your choice what your kitchen cabinet doors look like. By leaving the main structure of the units intact and simply changing the style of the frontage, you’re allowing yourself the option of changing your mind later on! And because you’ve saved a small fortune by going for a refurbishment rather than a complete replacement kitchen, you’ve got some extra cash to play with to purchase those little additional extra flourishes to put your own, unique mark on your kitchen.

A huge range of styles

The sheer range of styles available for replacement kitchen cabinet doors is astonishing! From vivid, primary colour laminates through to hardwood, glass and wipe-clean polymer, you have a huge choice of options both in the type of material you choose, and the style. Modern or traditional? Minimalist or country cottage? The choice is entirely yours.

The little extras

We’ve mentioned briefly those ‘little extras’ that can really make a difference, and when you change your kitchen cabinet doors you can also change little things like the finishings (such as ornate hinges or corner trim), and the handles and drawer knobs. It’s important to take your time choosing these carefully, as the wrong handles or knobs can ruin the final result!
