3 Easy Ways to Change Your Cabinet Color

Refinishing

This will be your most budget-friendly approach to changing your cabinet color. If the cabinets in your kitchen have a traditional wood look, and you’re looking to go darker on the stain, then restaining them could be your solution. While it isn’t necessary to remove all of the old stain in order to go darker, all the lacquer and existing varnish would need to be removed so the new stain can properly absorb into the wood.

The process of repainting your cabinets is similar. For more insight into choosing which of these options is best for you, check out our article on painted vs. stained cabinets. For a comprehensive breakdown of associated costs to refinish your cabinets, Thumbtack offers a great resource.

Refacing

Refacing comes at a higher cost than refinishing, but lends itself to being more customizable and includes more than just adding new stain or paint to the existing cabinet faces. With refacing, you’ll replace the cabinet faces and drawers, and might also consider replacing the hardware, drawer pulls, toe kicks, and more as part of the process.

This is a great option if you’d like to add more depth and dynamic to the overall aesthetic of your kitchen or bathroom spaces. For what this could cost, and to gain more insight, head to our article that breaks down the differences between refacing and refinishing.

Replacing

To obtain ultimate control of your cabinet aesthetics, from configuration to hardware and finishes, replacing your cabinets could be the route you want to take. This will involve removing your existing cabinetry, and a consultation with professionals like Oceanside Painting & Refinishing to ensure your design scope can meet the budget you have set aside.

While pricing can vary based on the project size and detail, Home Advisor provides a great resource to get a better understanding of what this cost might look like for you.
