When you think about cabinet refacing, the kitchen is usually the first space that comes to mind and for good reason. Refacing kitchen cabinets is a budget-friendly, high-impact upgrade that breathes new life into your kitchen without the cost or hassle of a full remodel.
That being said, the benefits of cabinet refacing don’t stop at the kitchen. In fact, refacing is a smart and stylish solution for several other areas of the home, including:
1. Bathrooms: Beautify Your Vanities
Bathroom vanities endure daily wear and tear from moisture, cosmetics, and cleaning products. Over time, the finish can fade, peel, or simply become outdated. Refacing your bathroom cabinets offers a fresh, modern look without replacing the entire vanity. You can choose from a variety of door styles and finishes to match your preferences, whether it’s sleek and contemporary or warm and traditional.
Some design ideas for your bathroom cabinet refacing project include:
- Matte navy shaker doors paired with brushed brass hardware for a spa-inspired retreat.
- High-gloss white fronts and slim chrome handles to create a clean, airy feel in smaller bathrooms.
- Frosted glass inserts on cabinet doors for an elevated touch.
2. Laundry Rooms: Functional and Stylish
Laundry rooms are no longer just utilitarian spaces. They’ve become extensions of the home. If your laundry room has old cabinets that are structurally sound but visually dated, cabinet refacing can revamp the space.
For instance, fresh cabinets in a crisp white or soft gray can brighten the area, making chores a little more enjoyable. Additional inspiration for your laundry room includes:
- Flat-front cabinet doors in soft blue or pale sage for a clean, calming vibe.
- Choosing cabinet doors and drawer fronts with a natural wood finish and pairing them with oil-rubbed bronze pulls for the perfect balance between modern and rustic.
- Adding a durable butcher block countertop for folding space and a touch of flair.
3. Finished Basements: Cohesive and Custom
Many finished basements include wet bars, media centers, and built-in storage. Updating the cabinets in these spaces can help the basement feel more comfortable and stylish. Refacing cabinets in a basement can also tie the whole design together and elevate the overall feel of the space.
When it comes to refacing cabinets in your basement, this is one space where you can really be bold and have some fun. To do that, consider:
- Espresso-stained cabinets and sleek black hardware for media centers or wet bars, creating a contemporary, theater-like atmosphere.
- Two-tone cabinetry with navy base cabinets and crisp white upper cabinets for a dynamic look that’s perfect for game rooms or entertainment areas.
- Cabinets with recessed panel doors and a warm walnut or light wood finish to blend form and function in multi-purpose areas.
4. Home Offices: Professional and Polished
With more people working from home, the office has become an essential space. Many offices feature built-in cabinetry or storage that can start to look outdated or worn over time. Refacing these cabinets can create a cleaner, more professional workspace that promotes focus, reflects your personal style, and matches the rest of your home.
Some cabinet refacing design ideas for your home office include:
- Classic white shaker cabinets for a crisp, professional backdrop that works with any decor.
- Light oak or cherry finish doors with black matte hardware for character and richness in the space.
- Matte gray slab-style cabinet doors with minimalist chrome handles for a modern look with a touch of sophistication.
5. Mudrooms and Entryways: Durable and Organized
Mudrooms and entryways are high-traffic zones that require smart storage solutions. Refacing the cabinets in these areas can improve the look and durability of benches, cubbies, or built-in coat closets. With updated fronts and finishes, your entry area can look more polished and welcoming and stay better protected from daily wear.
To achieve a beautiful and functional space, consider:
- Cabinet fronts in colors like weathered gray or slate blue that won’t show dirt, scuff marks, and other grime.
- Satin nickel or matte black pulls and other hardware for a clean, contemporary edge.
- Built-in bench cubbies with beadboard-style fronts and hooks above for a farmhouse touch.
6. Media Rooms: Sleek and Modern
Entertainment centers, built-in shelving, and other storage areas in family rooms or dens can all benefit from cabinet refacing. Changing the cabinet faces allows you to refresh the space without reconstructing your media center or tearing down walls.
You’ll get a cohesive aesthetic that compliments your furniture and other design features of the room. This creates greater harmony and a more comfortable space all without major construction. Ideas to consider in the process include:
- Selecting flat-panel cabinet doors in charcoal or deep espresso for a contemporary, urban look.
- Infusing a sense of refinement into the space with a rich navy or forest green finish paired with brushed gold hardware.
- Incorporating glass panel cabinet doors to highlight collectibles or artwork.
How Cabinet Refacing with N-Hance Works
Cabinet refacing is an efficient process that delivers big results with minimal disruption. It includes:
A Design Consultation
During the cabinet refacing process, N-Hance® will work with you to select a door style, color, and finish that suit your taste and space. You can also update your hardware for a totally new look, as well as add other upgrades such as glass panel cabinet doors, crown molding, interior cabinet storage, and more.
Door and Drawer Replacement
We will remove your existing doors and drawer fronts and replace them with brand-new, custom-built ones in your selected style and color. Each door and drawer front is crafted from high-quality hardwood designed to withstand everyday wear and tear, delivering lasting beauty and durability.
Refinishing of Existing Cabinet Boxes
Instead of removing your cabinet boxes, we apply a durable, color-matched finish to the exterior surfaces so they blend seamlessly with the new fronts. This ensures a cohesive, like-new appearance throughout your space without the cost or disruption of full cabinet replacement.
Hardware Installation and Final Touches
We install the new drawers and doors, attach new handles or knobs, and ensure every detail looks and functions flawlessly. The entire process typically takes just a few days, compared to the weeks of work (and mess) that come with full cabinet replacement.
