Advantages of Painting Kitchen Cabinets
The kitchen is often considered the heart of the home, so making sure it is aesthetically pleasing is essential. However, not everyone has the budget for a complete renovation. Never fear! Painting kitchen cabinets can drastically transform the entire look and feel of the space. Among other things, paint can make old cabinets appear as though they were brand new.
This article will explain some key advantages of painting kitchen cabinets.
Home value increased
Homeowners interested in listing their home for sale understand that it needs to be attractive to potential buyers, and beautiful cabinets are a great selling point. Often, these are among the first things that people notice when stepping into the kitchen. Having freshly painted cabinets can help increase buyer interest. Additionally, newly painted cabinets can help make the space appear larger, which may also be a selling point to potential buyers.
More cost-effective
Structurally, the kitchen cabinets may be in good condition but have a distressed finish from years of use. Having a team of professionals thoroughly clean, sand, and paint your cabinets is often far better value for money than total replacement. The average repair cost is typically between $3 to $5 per square foot, whereas total cabinet replacement can cost up to $6,000.
Eco friendly
These days, many homeowners are looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Unfortunately, most kitchen cabinets contain a material called formaldehyde, which can be very toxic in landfills. Throwing away cabinets in perfectly good condition to replace with new ones only adds to a pile of hazardous waste.
Repainting existing cabinets is a far more environmentally friendly option. The entire process produces little to no waste.
Endless options
When painting kitchen cabinets, homeowners can explore various options in terms of finishes and color. Some may opt to use a tone that blends with the existing color scheme of their kitchen, while others will decide upon a specific type of finish such as glossing, glazing, stretching, or antiquing. Homeowners are also often encouraged to put a personal twist on their cabinets.
Low disruption
Replacing kitchen cabinets is a project that may take weeks to complete. On the other hand, painting your cabinets can be completed in a matter of hours. What’s more, everything can stay exactly where it usually does—including items already in the cabinets.
Beautiful new look
Painting kitchen cabinets can dramatically improve the overall look of the kitchen. Brighter colors can make the space appear bigger and more inviting. Homeowners don’t need to spend a fortune to achieve a beautiful-looking kitchen. Adding an extra protective layer of paint to the kitchen cabinets increases their overall durability and makes the space look better.
