The kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s where you will be spending time with your loved ones and precious memories will be made. That’s why both the look and feel of your kitchen are so important.
It might seem like your dream kitchen is out of reach, especially if your dream is one of those kitchens on Pinterest. Fortunately, with N-Hance of Palm Beach & Martin County, you have the ability to achieve that magazine-worthy look through our cabinet refinishing services.
As many homeowners start to plan their perfect kitchen remodel, they often don’t realize some of the more common mistakes that are made. To help you end up with the best result, we’ve put together some tips to help you avoid them.
#1 – Choosing the wrong cabinet color.
You want a kitchen that is unique and on-brand with your personality and style, but that tends to lead to choosing colors that are too trendy and bright. Instead, try to stick with a versatile, neutral color or stain that will transition through the seasons and through the years.
Top kitchen designers agree that a neutral color palette like white, grey, beige, or a natural wood stain can help boost the value of your home. And don’t worry, you won’t need to sacrifice any fun pops of color. Try to add contrast in less permanent ways like dishes, barstools, rugs, curtains, or cabinet hardware.
#2 – Failing to consider square footage.
Be mindful of the size of your space when you are choosing your cabinet color. Keep in mind that dark colors can make the room feel smaller whereas bright, light colors will give the illusion of more square footage.
#3 – Unrealistic expectations.
When starting a cabinet refinishing project, many assume that it is an easy task. However, if you plan to paint any cabinets yourself, you should expect a time commitment of at least a full week. If you don’t have this kind of room in your schedule, it pays to have a professional take care of your cabinet refinishing.
#4 – Not cleaning and prepping cabinets properly.
It’s often discounted, but the prep is one of the most important and crucial steps you can take during your cabinet refinishing project. Removing any grease, oil, or other build-ups from the cabinet surfaces will ensure that the paint or stain goes on smoothly and adheres as it should. This is a big reason why it’s so helpful to enlist the help of a professional cabinet refinishing company with the proper solutions and methods for cleaning your cabinets prior to refinishing.
#5 – Using the wrong cabinet primer and paint.
A lot of refinishers use latex-based paint that is made for walls instead of cabinets. However, this formula isn’t durable enough for the high usage of cabinets and will tend to peel and chip faster. Additionally, some cabinet refinishers leave behind unwanted brush strokes or paint drips on your cabinets.
That’s why N-Hance has developed a better way. With our hundreds of cabinet colors available in a specially formulated acrylic-polyurethane blend that resists chipping, peeling, or scratching.
Our cabinet finishes are then cured through our UV light technology – allowing you to use them immediately after they are finished and leaving you with a highly durable and fortified with a smooth, factory-like finish that’s guaranteed to last for decades to come.
