Is It Possible To Replace Only The Kitchen Cabinet Doors?
Is your kitchen feeling outdated and uninspiring? You're not alone!
Many homeowners dream of a kitchen makeover, but the hefty price tag of a full renovation can be daunting. When it comes to designing a new kitchen, there’s many things that need to be considered. The first big decision, alongside finding your perfect style and colour, is whether you’re looking for a complete kitchen refit, or simply to replace the doors and drawer fronts.
What if we told you there's a way to achieve a dramatic kitchen update without breaking the bank? Replacing your existing kitchen cabinet doors might be the perfect solution!
A common question we hear at Dream Doors, is ‘can you just replace kitchen cabinet doors’. Replacing the doors is not only cheaper and quicker, but also a more sustainable approach to creating your new kitchen. This allows you to keep the kitchen layout you’re familiar with but gives you the opportunity to redesign a space you can fall in love with all over again.
What are the benefits of replacing only the kitchen cabinet doors?
The main benefit of replacing just the kitchen doors, is it’s cost effectiveness. Compared to a full re-model, replacing just the doors can cost you up to 50% less than a full renovation! When replacing the doors, you’re not only saving yourself the cost of new cabinet units, but also demolition costs, construction and not to mention time.
You may be wondering if you can still achieve a complete change of style and feel in the space, and the answer is yes, absolutely!
Imagine swapping your dark oak doors for sleek shaker doors in a crisp white finish. This simple change can instantly brighten your space and create a contemporary feel. Or adding some colour to your space with trendy sage green doors in a modern, handleless style.
Shaker doors are perfect if you’re looking for a timeless, classic look, whereas flat panel doors will create a minimalist space.
Replacing just the doors can also increase the functionality of your space, improved hardware such as soft close hinges can enhance the user experience, as well as elevating the overall look and feel of your kitchen!
