Perhaps you’ve thought of updating your kitchen cabinets, but feel you can’t afford to do so. When choosing new kitchen cabinets, Los Angeles customers like yourself have several options to consider that will make them more affordable while still creating an updated look for your home.
Open shelving is an excellent way to save money on kitchen cabinet installation. Consider a row of shelving along one wall as a way to save on the cost of materials. Shelves can be an ideal place to store plates, bowls and glasses, and can be adjustable to different heights as well. If you feel you must keep your dishes concealed, hanging a curtain over the top of your shelving can be cheaper than installing wooden cabinet doors.
If you prefer the look of traditional cabinets, you can still save money on them by modifying their design a bit. For example, you could purchase cabinets without backs or find units that contain engineered wood on their sides. When installed, you will be virtually unable to tell that these cabinets are not constructed from genuine wood on all sides, yet you’ll save a great deal of money on purchasing them.
You can also save money by buying unfinished cabinets and then painting or staining them yourself. By doing so, you’ll be able to create exactly the right look for your kitchen rather than choosing from pre-finished units that may not suit your décor precisely. If you’d like, you can even leave your cabinets unfinished for a more rustic and earthy look that is still functional and stylish. The best part about doing so is that if you ever change your mind and want a different look, you can then go ahead and finish them any way you’d like.
If your existing cabinets are in good shape, why not consider refacing them rather than replacing them? This involves placing a thin veneer over the top of your cabinets to give it a fresh look. Old cabinets do not need to be removed, which means there’s much less labor involved as well.
Having new kitchen cabinets is a dream for many homeowners, but this can sometimes be an expensive project to embark on. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to save money on cabinets so you can end up with the kitchen you’ve always dreamed of. For more money-saving remodeling ideas, contact us today.
