Since your kitchen cabinets are the focal point of the room, making a change to them means making a change to the entire space. It’s not always possible to install new cabinets, but luckily, there are all kinds of do-it-yourself projects you can take on to transform your existing cabinets.
If you are doing a general remodel of your kitchen that involves installing new appliances, finding and repairing leaks or water boiler repair, contact a professional. These kinds of projects require technical knowledge and special tools, and a professional can make sure everything is working properly.

- Repainting or refinishing them with a solid color or contrasting colors to add interest and a breath of freshness.
- Removing a door, or replacing the center panel with glass, to create an open cabinet. Paint the back a contrasting color, apply decorative paper or install lights to make it look more polished.
- Installing new hardware can give your cabinets a traditional, modern or retro look, depending on the style you choose.
- Adding crown molding to the top of ceiling-height cabinets gives them a traditional, classic look.
- Dressing up plain, generic cabinet doors with crown molding to create panels, stencils or chalkboard paint is a simple way to give your kitchen a unique look.
- Installing cabinet lighting inside your cabinets or underneath, so they illuminate your counters, adds depth and interest and makes a huge statement in a kitchen.
These projects are all simple and you can take them on yourself to give your kitchen a whole new look. For more tips on updating your kitchen cabinets, visit the Pat Dolan Plumbing website.
