If you are interested in updating your kitchen, one of the best ways to do so is by replacing your kitchen cabinets. Even if you choose not to re-do any of the rest of your kitchen, simply changing or updating your kitchen cabinets can give it an entirely new look.

One of the most inexpensive ways to update your kitchen cabinets is to simply replace the knobs on them. You can find all sorts of cool kitchen cabinet knobs online. They have everything from glass to wood to every color and shape and style you can think of. If you have a theme in your kitchen you may want to play off this theme with your door knobs. For example if your kitchen theme is coffee for example it would be really cool to have coffee mugs as your door handles and pulls. Get creative, the sky is the limit. You may even be crafty enough to make your own door pulls.

Another great way to updated your kitchen cabinets as well as being a low cost idea, is by giving them a new coat of paint. When I moved into the house I am in, the kitchen cabinets were country blue. I gave my kitchen an automatic update by painting them a warm butter cream color. This not only made the kitchen look brand new, but it also made it look quite a bit bigger as well. It is amazing what a coat of paint can do for your kitchen cabinets. Be sure to take a sample of the kitchen wall color with you to the hardware store where you will be choosing your cabinet paint. They can match the color to your cabinets and that way you can be sure the two colors will blend well. You would not want to have dark brown cabinets with dark brown walls for example because you wouldn’t be able to tell where the cabinet ends and the wall begins.

Another great way to update your kitchen cabinets is by totally replacing them. This can get pretty expensive but if you have the budget for it, you can really do a lot for your home by replacing the kitchen cabinets. If you have enough in your budget you may even want to add an island to update it even more. If you are looking to sell your home anytime soon, new cabinets and an island will help to increase the value of your home.

If you cannot afford to totally replace your kitchen cabinets you may want to just add some wood décor to them. You can easily have some wood strips cut and glue them to the outside of your cabinets to give them a more dimensional look.
