Consider This When Replacing Cabinets in Kitchens Like Yours
Even more than the living room, your house’s kitchen is truly the heart of the home. For loved ones, it’s a place for enjoying delicious meals, sipping tasty drinks, having happy conversations, and creating new memories. For avid cookers, it’s a place to truly let their expertise and culinary creativity shine. And whether you’re on your way out for a night on the town or heading home to relax after a long day of work, the kitchen is always a stop along the way. But if a kitchen isn’t as welcoming as it should be, replacing cabinets in kitchens is a surefire way to spruce the room back up to its former glory!
Though we most commonly think of the fridge, oven, and sink as the most important parts of the kitchen—and they most certainly are essential—the cabinets can make or break the room. A kitchen with too many cabinets is wasting space that could be better used for appliances such as wine coolers and built-in microwaves. Meanwhile, a kitchen with too little cabinet space makes safely storing all your food, dishes, silverware, and cooking appliances an absolute pain. And if the cabinets are simply falling apart, it can completely kill the pristine and well-put-together vibes of the entire kitchen space. But thankfully, replacing cabinets in kitchens like yours has never been easier than with our team right here at Renaissance Remodeling.

But what if you’re not sure whether your cabinets need to be replaced? Or you’re not sure where you would even begin when in the early stages of deciding what you’d like your new cabinets to look like? Well—those are the questions we’d like to help answer in this blog, so let’s get right into it.
Reasons You’d Want to Replace Your Kitchen Cabinets
There are countless reasons why you may want to make adjustments to your kitchen cabinets, from adjusting some of the metalwork and hardware to completely resurfacing and refurbishing the cabinet’s woodwork. But replacing them is an entirely different thing. The most common reasons you’d want to go about replacing cabinets in kitchens like yours are as follows:
They’re Damaged
Though it’s fairly obvious, it doesn’t hurt to repeat. The primary reason most folks want to replace their kitchen cabinets is because they are damaged to some extent. Whether small scratches and dents have collected over time or there are significant structural damages and cracks that are ruining the integrity of the entire cabinet, a brand new cabinet is oftentimes easier than trying to save one that’s falling apart.
…Or Over Ten Years Old
Once your cabinets are over a decade old, it is highly recommended to give them a thorough inspection to determine their condition. After ten years of use, most kitchen cabinets tend to experience the damages described above, making it a good time for a replacement.
They’re Just Not Your Style
If your cabinets aren’t damaged, then maybe you’re just tired of their style or feel that they could be more practically designed. Replacing cabinets in kitchens that aren’t living up to your current aesthetic wishes is the perfect way to renew your enjoyment of the space you use for cooking, cleaning, and living your life.
Your Customization Options When Replacing Cabinets in Kitchens
And when you do decide to replace your kitchen cabinets, it helps to imagine all of the possibilities of what your new installations look like. You’ll want to consider things like:
Location
Kitchen cabinets that are well-placed and easily accessible can entirely change how it feels to move about and store all of your kitchen necessities.
Size
When designing your new cabinets, it’s essential to know just how much storage space you’re looking to use going forward and adjust the size of your cabinets accordingly.
Style
From beaded, flat-panel, and wall cabinets to corner and tall-standing cabinets, there are a variety of practical and unique designs that our team here at Renaissance Remodel can help you sort through and decide on.
Metalwork
What’s the point of a brand-new cabinet if the handles are antiquated and rusty? So don’t forget to consider all the metalwork possibilities available when replacing cabinets in kitchens like yours.
Woodwork
If you’re not looking to paint your new cabinets, then choosing quality woodwork and a pleasant wood stain is essential to bringing out the natural allure of your replacement cabinets.
Color
However, if you are looking to paint your cabinets, there’s a world of opportunity at your fingertips to mix and match to perfectly style your kitchen’s perfect aesthetic.
But with so many customization options available, it is essential to contract help from a professional, design-build-remodeling company.

Fall brings colors that are bold but comforting, and we’re seeing many color trends inspired by nature that will be here to stay throughout the next year. The leaves in our beautiful mountains and along the Boise greenbelt are turning to warm and vibrant hues, and many of the big names in paint color are announcing or hinting at their colors of the year for the upcoming calendar. 
We’re big fans of the comfort food and time spent in the kitchen that comes with the colder weather and approaching holidays. People tend to stay in more during this season, reminding us how important the kitchen is when it comes to bringing people together. If you were busy out-and-about this summer, this time of year might also be reminding you of the kitchen updates you’ve been wanting. We recommend using this season to figure out what’s working and what isn’t in your kitchen and the rest of your home.

This time of year often brings special moments and more time spent with our immediate family, extended family, and close friends. We all like to be comfortable when we travel, and to make others feel cozy and welcome when they visit our homes. It’s never too early to start planning for the holidays, whether it’s something small like freshening up with new bedding in the guest room, or something big like converting your extra garage space into an ADU for your parents to comfortably visit.
Working in the remodeling industry means looking to the future. Whether it’s century old homes, our business model, or our own personal journeys, we’re committed to positively evolving while always remaining true to ourselves. We’re using this season to reflect on all there is to be grateful for, and to set our intentions for the year to come. We hope you’re able to do the same! We’re already booking projects for 2022 and can’t believe how fast time is flying. If a home renovation is a goal of yours, we’d love to be a part of your journey in achieving the kitchen, bathroom, or full home remodel of your dreams.
