Five reasons to replace your kitchen cabinet doors

How to decide the right time for replacement kitchen doors

Is it time to update your kitchen? Perhaps it’s something that has been on your radar for a while, but it has never felt like quite the right time. Until now.

Updating the kitchen is something that we tend to put off because it seems like such a huge undertaking. Whether in terms of money, time or effort, it can all feel like a bit too much.

However, a quicker – and considerably cheaper – way to update your kitchen is simply to use replacement kitchen doors. By doing this you can transform your kitchen in days. 

To decide if this is a viable option for you, take a good look around your kitchen. What kind of things are you dissatisfied with, and what would you like to see instead? Because if you are happy with the basic layout, and your kitchen cabinets and appliances are still in pretty good condition, you could make a huge difference just with replacement kitchen doors and a fresh coat of paint.

Here are five great differences that replacement kitchen doors can make to your kitchen.

Replacement kitchen doors update the style of your kitchen

Even if your kitchen cabinet doors are still in reasonable condition, the style may feel very outdated. But simply by replacing those doors you can instantly change this. 

DIY Homefit offers several ranges of stylish replacement kitchen doors including Bella Vinyl Wrapped, Flat Slab and Budget kitchen doors, all of which are available in a wide choice of colours and finishes.

It’s up to you as to whether you decide to go for completely matching kitchen cabinet doors, or perhaps mix and match colours and styles, as shown below. Either way, it’s easy to see how replacement kitchen doors can dramatically transform the look and feel of your kitchen.

Replacement kitchen doors make your kitchen look and feel brand new

As well as providing the opportunity to update the style of your kitchen, replacement kitchen doors really can make your kitchen look and feel brand new. 

Over time, the finish on kitchen cabinet doors tends to become faded and dull, which makes the whole kitchen look dingy and unloved. But add bright new replacement kitchen doors and this can instantly transform the look and feel of your kitchen.

And as well as the great look of your new kitchen cabinet doors, there is also that indefinable fresh new door smell which will replace any lingering odours absorbed by your old kitchen cabinet doors.

Replacement kitchen doors are free from damage

One of the best things about new kitchen cabinet doors is that they are completely free from damage. Over time, most kitchen cabinet doors pick up signs of wear and tear. Whether these are cracks, chips  or scratches, your cabinet doors can start to look very tatty. 

So another joy you will find when installing replacement kitchen doors is that there are no more nasty surprises to be discovered, and no issues regarding either the aesthetics or functionality of your kitchen cabinet doors.

Replacement kitchen doors are easy to open and close

Almost all kitchens have at least one kitchen cabinet door that is difficult to open or close. It’s something you just get used to and put up with – sometimes for years on end.

But if a kitchen cabinet door is not opening or closing properly, it’s usually a sign either that the hinges or hardware is wearing out, or that the door has become warped or swollen due to water damage. Either way, you will soon notice the difference when you fit your replacement kitchen doors.

Imagine being able to use your kitchen fully and freely without ever struggling with opening or closing a kitchen cabinet door – or even having to think about it. And with DIY Homefit’s ranges of stylish replacement kitchen doors readily available, the solution is there for the taking.

Replacement kitchen doors offer better quality kitchen storage

Kitchen cabinet doors can be an important factor in the quality of your kitchen storage. They need to be strong and secure so that everything behind those doors is given the best protection. Whether you are storing pots and pans, crockery, food in tins or packets, bottles, jars, or cleaning items, you need to protect those items from heat, cold and humidity. All DIY Homefit’s ranges of replacement kitchen doors offer high quality, well-made products that will offer this protection.

Also consider adding storage solutions to your replacement kitchen doors. One option could be to mount a small storage rack or shelf on the inside of the kitchen cabinet door, as shown below left. Another could be to use additional space to install a small kitchen cabinet door with a pull out unit attached, as shown below right.
