Remodeling Kitchens Inexpensively With Cabinet Knobs
“Inexpensive” is not usually the a word you think to see in the same sentence with “remodeling the kitchen,” unless there is a “not” put in there somewhere, but you might be surprised to hear that it actually is possible to give your kitchen a great makeover without breaking the bank in the process. Naturally, it will not involve all new stainless steel prosumer kitchen appliances and shiny new hardwood floors, but you can get a great new look for your kitchen that gives you the feel of a whole new room and still do it inexpensively.
One of the best ways to do this is with cabinet knobs. Think about it for a moment – your kitchen cabinets take up a lot of space in the kitchen. They are one of the largest features, and therefore one of the things that the eye is drawn to every time you walk into the room. When the cabinets look good, the rest of the room looks good, even if you haven’t painted in a decade and can’t afford new linoleum. To update your kitchen cabinets and update the whole room at the same time, all you need to do is swap out your current cabinet knobs for a new set. It sounds too easy, and it really is – cabinet knobs and cabinet handles are inexpensive, easy to install, and will change the whole face of your cabinets without you having to do anything else.
It does not matter what your current kitchen décor is like. You can find new cabinet hardware that fits right in and brightens the whole place up. For a modern, trendy look, try chrome or stainless steel knobs and pulls. They are easy to clean and look sleek and modern. They are also appropriate for contemporary styled kitchens. If you have a more involved or themed kitchen, like a French Country kitchen or a Shaker style kitchen, then more decorative knobs are in order. For French Country, choose wrought iron or wood, and for the Shaker kitchen, brass handles and other hardware fit perfectly.
If you want to repaint or re-stain your kitchen cabinets when you change out the hardware, you definitely can do that and get an even more new look, but for people on a really tight budget that still really want a change, remodeling kitchens with new cabinet knobs is the way to go.
