Every time you walk into your kitchen, those drab, outdated, or damaged cabinets are there to remind you that the style of your kitchen just isn’t what you want it to be. Maybe you dream of bright colors and contemporary design that will make your home feel more airy and refreshing. Or, maybe you’d love to cultivate a more rustic aesthetic, with dark wood tones and traditional cabinet designs. With the cost of a traditional kitchen remodel easily running into the tens of thousands of dollars, these changes might seem to be nothing more than that—a dream. But maybe not. Cabinet refacing is an innovative solution that involves replacing only the cabinet doors and drawer fronts and applying a matching veneer to the existing cabinet boxes. This service costs far less than a full remodel and can be completed much more quickly. You might be wondering if you can really get the results you want without replacing your cabinets. You might be surprised at how flexible cabinet refacing is. Read on to learn about some popular cabinet refacing ideas for 2021 so you can get inspired for your project.

Popular Cabinet Doors Styles

For some time, cabinet door styles with clean lines have steadily grown in popularity, and this trend shows no sign of slowing down in 2021. One shining example of this design is shaker cabinets. These five-piece doors are built around a center panel and have timeless appeal that is suited to nearly any aesthetic. Slab cabinets, which are flat and made from a single piece of wood, is another popular, minimalistic cabinet door option. Or, if you’d like to cultivate a modern design that has a little more visual interest, you can choose raised panel doors with beveled edges. Of course, you don’t have to let your cabinet style be dictated by modern trends. The great thing about cabinet refacing is that you can choose from virtually any cabinet style. For example, traditional cabinet doors with symmetrical, beveled curves can be the perfect finishing touch for your rustic or farmhouse design.

Popular Cabinet Door Colors

In addition to cabinet door styles, cabinet refacing allows you to select from an enormous assortment of stain and paint colors. Light and dark natural wood tones are always a great choice and can help create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Heading into 2021, many homeowners are opting for light to medium paint colors, such as whites, grays, and soft blues, because they make the kitchen feel more bright and airy. This is also a safe choice that allows more design flexibility. However, some homeowners are choosing to get bold, with bright colors such as rich yellows, reds, and blues becoming more and more popular.

Don’t Forget About the Hardware

It might seem like a small detail, but upgrading your cabinet hardware can have a big impact on the design of your kitchen. Cabinet refacing provides a great opportunity to choose hardware that matches the design of your new cabinets. There are virtually limitless options available; however, simpler styles that serve as subtle accents are among the most in-demand options for 2021 with popular colors including silver, brushed nickel, and gold.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
