#Inexpensive Way to Change the Appearance of Kitchen Cabinets

Removing some cabinet doors gives the cabinets a new look.

Awash in Color

Paint offers one of the most dramatic changes for cabinets; a new color completely transforms the look of both the cabinets and the room as a whole, since these often cover a large area of wall space. If the cabinets are already painted, give them a shabby-chic makeover by rubbing them down with candle wax, painting a new color over the wax, then sanding away some of the paint to reveal hints of the original shade. For a color wash, mix latex paint with clear latex glaze, then brush on the mixture, rubbing most of the glaze off with a rag. Give them a raw silk finish instead by rubbing steel wool through the wet glaze, working in parallel columns. For the ultimate bargain, search the "mis-tint" shelf at the paint store for paint shades that did not come out exactly as another customer requested. These are sold highly discounted, and who knows, you may just find a color that's perfect for your cabinets.

Texture and Trim

Plain, boxy cabinets get a dimensional makeover with finds from the home improvement store. Faux tin ceiling tile sheets, added to exposed cabinet sides or doors, provide dimensional decor for an otherwise smooth cabinet. A strip of crown molding along the top edge of a row of cabinets adds a custom cabinetry appearance to even the most basic models. Thin decorative trim strips applied to doors or around the perimeter of cabinets also give them a visual and dimensional upgrade.
