The Origins of Cabinet Resurfacing
Cabinet refacing became popular in the 1970s and 80s as a budget-friendly alternative to replacing cabinetry. Rising costs of custom cabinets led homeowners to seek simpler upgrades. Today, resurfacing combines commercial-grade coatings, custom doors, and instant-cure finishes like Lightspeed® Nano, offering both style and longevity.
Cabinet Styles Through the Decades
1970s: Wood Paneling & Earth Tones
Dark woods and bold colors were the standard. Resurfacing preserves sturdy boxes while adding lighter finishes and modern door styles.
1980s: Golden Oak
Golden oak cabinets with brass hardware defined the decade. Updated doors and fresh paint or stain can instantly modernize these kitchens.
1990s: Raised Panels & Cherry Tones
Raised panel doors and warm cherry stains were popular. Shaker-style doors and lighter finishes create a timeless, transitional look today.
2000s: Espresso & Stainless Steel
Dark espresso cabinets were sleek for the era. Resurfacing allows for brighter, open designs, two-tone looks, or bold island accents without replacing cabinet frames.
Modern Trends in Cabinet REfacing
Today’s kitchen trends focus on simplicity, brightness, and durability. Popular choices include Shaker doors, soft whites, grays, greens, and navy tones, often paired with open shelving, matte hardware, and clever storage solutions. Crown molding and cabinet extensions create a custom, built-in feel.
