4 Great Strategies for Customizing Contemporary Kitchen Cabinets

If you have perfectly solid kitchen cabinets, but would like to change the look of your kitchen to better reflect its character, there are many ways to alter the look of your kitchen cabinets.

Firstly, you may just want to change the color of your cabinets and this can be done by painting them a light colour, perhaps off-white, and then use a stencil to add a design of your choice. There are so many templates to choose from that you’re sure to find the one you’re looking for.

Perhaps you have solid doors on your cabinets and this makes your kitchen look darker than you would like. If this is the case, you may want to consider reinstalling glass doors or glass inserts into existing doors. This will add light to your kitchen as the glass will reflect the natural light and make for a lighter and more airy place to work. You may want to have frosted glass inserts, which are popular right now. If you already have glass doors, but would like frosted doors, you can purchase a frosted glass spray that works like a spray paint and changes plain glass to frosted.

This is an inexpensive way to customize your cabinets. There are also stained glass inserts for kitchen cabinet doors and they are an eye-catching way to revitalize your cabinets and are also a talking point if you need one. You can buy them ready-made or commission an artist to make glass inserts for your designs. They can be placed in all cabinets or just one or two, depending on how you feel or how much money you have to spend.

If you don’t have a lot of money to spend, but really feel like you need to personalize your custom contemporary kitchen cabinets, you might want to go for a more unusual way of doing it. You can add birch branches to cabinet doors, and since they’re easy to find, it just takes a little effort on your part to cut them into proper lengths and attach them with wood glue. You can sand and varnish the branches before gluing them to doors or leave them in their natural state. How much cheaper could it be to refinish your contemporary kitchen cabinets? If you do not want to wander in search of birch branches, there is grass wallpaper, which can be cut into rectangles and placed in the middle of the kitchen cabinet doors, and this creates a green feeling in your kitchen.

You may just want to change your door handles and have fun browsing antique stores or markets to find vintage door handles that are just what you are looking for. Just changing a small detail in your kitchen cabinet can make a difference.

Customizing your contemporary kitchen cabinets doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Think creatively and see what awesome ideas come to mind. You know that the end result will be that you enjoy your contemporary kitchen cabinets.
