4 Benefits of Replacing Your Cabinets

When you’re cooking in the kitchen and you’ve got a swift rhythm going, there’s nothing more frustrating than having dysfunctional cabinets. 

For most of us, the kitchen is always our favorite part of the home. It’s the place where we can go to escape from our worries and our troubles at the end of the day. When we start to cook, we enter into a different state of mind. We become a version of ourselves that only appears when we’re in the kitchen. We become a chef version of ourselves where we transform simple ingredients into tasty meals for our families. But if our kitchen cabinets don’t function the way we need them to, cooking can become a hassle instead of a creative escape from the world. 

When you don’t have well-designed cabinets, the following ends up happening: if we need to chop and prep all our meat and vegetables before we start cooking, we’re fumbling around looking for the right-sized knife. When we go to look for a spoon or spatula in our utensil drawer, all the utensils in the drawer slide around and we end up fumbling around looking for what we need before your food on the stove starts to burn. If we need a certain pot or pan, we’re making a loud clangy mess as we dig in our cabinet for the right pot or pan that we need. And if we have a disorganized tupperware drawer, cleaning becomes just as much of a hassle as cooking does. 

If your cabinets are keeping you from enjoying your kitchen to the fullest, it may be time to start thinking about replacing your kitchen cabinets. Here are 4 benefits you can gain from updating and replacing your kitchen cabinets. 

Makes a Good First Impression - When your friends and family see your newly remodeled kitchen with all new cabinets, they’ll be blown away by how good your new kitchen looks. All the details in the cabinets, the increased storage, and the overall design will make your kitchen the buzz in all your family’s conversations. Whenever you decide to have a family gathering or party, your guests will surely be impressed.

Increased Enjoyment - With new kitchen cabinets, you’ll never want to leave your kitchen. In the 2019 Remodeling Impact Report, it was reported that 93% of homeowners had a greater desire to be home since completing the project, 95% of homeowners had an increased sense of enjoyment when they’re at home, and 87% of homeowners feel a sense of accomplishment when they think of the project when they decided to do a full kitchen remodel. In a remodeled kitchen with all new kitchen cabinets, you’ll be able to love your kitchen more which can have positive impacts on your everyday life. You’ll be able to cook more comfortably at home, you can have more family time, and live a healthier lifestyle from all the homemade meals you’ll be making. Who could deny having those benefits!   

Unique Design - When you buy your first home, the kitchen cabinets may not be your preferred style. The cabinets may be outdated, dingy, and may not match your modern-day decor. But when you decide to remodel your kitchen and install all new cabinets, you can select a cabinet design that matches your personal style. You can add your personal touch by selecting the perfect cabinet color with all the hardware detail that makes your kitchen feel more like home. You can even make your kitchen feel more customized by selecting an accent cabinet color for your kitchen island or by installing floor-to-ceiling cabinet storage. 

Increased Storage and Functionality - When you choose to replace and upgrade your kitchen cabinets, you can increase the storage and functionality of your kitchen! You won’t have to worry about fumbling around in your drawers and cabinets looking for what you need. When you select your new cabinets, you can select options to help keep all your tupperware organized, all your herbs and spices organized, even your knives and other cooking utensils organized. There’s also an option to organize your pots and pans with built-in tiers that you can pull out. You could even select options such as a charging drawer to safely charge your mobile devices without having to worry about them potentially falling off the counter! With these upgrades, cooking will become more enjoyable because everything will be accessible with a quick pull of a drawer or door handle.
