We\u2019re really looking after our hard-earned cash, which means we\u2019re always searching for more cost effective solutions and shortcuts. Unfortunately, as many of us know, home design usually isn\u2019t one of the areas where low cost quick fixes are advised, but when it comes to updating your kitchen, there\u2019s a cheaper alternative that\u2019s worth considering: DIY <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchendoorhub.com\/kitchen-doors\/all-kitchen-doors\">kitchen doors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"cms-full-page-img aligncenter\" src=\"\/media\/wysiwyg\/news\/Decoist-890.jpg\" alt=\"Compact kitchen in roof space.

But ask yourself this: do the cabinets themselves really need replacing, or would refacing old kitchen cabinets successfully create the look and feel you were going for? There\u2019s many reasons to consider refacing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cost<\/strong> &#8211; Refacing kitchen cabinets costs can be surprisingly affordable &#8211; great news for savvy homeowners. The cost of new kitchen doors is significantly less than the cost of a new kitchen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Time<\/strong> &#8211; Believe it or not, refacing kitchen cabinets is fairly easy. You may be able to fit the doors yourself, enabling you to quickly update your kitchen style or theme in a single weekend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"cms-full-page-img aligncenter\" src=\"\/media\/wysiwyg\/news\/MattStoneDrawer.jpg\" alt=\"Matt Stone Drawer\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"normal\">However, there are some considerations to make before going ahead with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchendoorhub.com\/replacement-kitchen-doors\">replacement kitchen doors<\/a>. Here are a few aspects to take into account before getting the ball rolling with your new design:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Layout<\/strong> &#8211; If you\u2019re going to reface your cabinet doors, you need to be sure that you\u2019re 100 percent happy with your kitchen layout. Otherwise, consider if a remodel would work better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Condition<\/strong> &#8211; There\u2019s no point replacing doors on cabinets that are already in poor condition. If your cabinets need replacing, it\u2019s best to do so, rather than simply opting for a quick fix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"normalCxSpMiddle\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"cms-full-page-img aligncenter\" src=\"\/media\/wysiwyg\/news\/BeefArchitecture-890.jpg\" alt=\"Kitchen.

Your cabinets should be structurally sound, still in a decent state of repair and of good quality, and perhaps most importantly, there should be no signs of water damage. Water damage is shockingly common, especially on undersink cabinets.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Measure Your Kitchen Doors<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"normal\">Measure twice, order once! When ordering your replacement doors, you\u2019ll want to know how many doors you need, and the exact size of the doors in millimetres. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchendoorhub.com\/how-to\/measuring-kitchen-bedroom-door\">Measuring kitchen doors<\/a> is easy, but it does take a little time, attention and precision. Remember to measure each and every door, as while they may look the same, a few millimetres can make all the difference!<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"cms-full-page-img aligncenter\" src=\"\/media\/wysiwyg\/news\/traditionalkitchen-890.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional kitchen.\" width=\"890\" height=\"591\" \/>Image: TraditionalKitchen<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Choose Design &amp; Colour<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"normal\">Deciding on a style and colour is perhaps one of the most difficult parts of the entire process. There are more styles available than you may think, from the quaint beadboard style and the classic inset style, and the modern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchendoorhub.com\/kitchen-doors\/handleless-kitchen-doors\">handleless kitchen units<\/a> and contemporary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchendoorhub.com\/kitchen-doors\/high-gloss-kitchen-doors\">high gloss kitchen cupboard doors<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchendoorhub.com\/kitchen-doors\/gravity\/finishes\">acrylic kitchen doors<\/a>. And when it comes to colour, the world\u2019s your oyster! It\u2019s a good idea to pick up a colour swatch to get a better idea of what you\u2019re after.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Order New Kitchen Doors<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"normalCxSpMiddle\">If your kitchen doors are standard sizes, it\u2019s easier than ever to order from us\u00a0online.\u00a0Simply\u00a0select your desired <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchendoorhub.com\/replacement-kitchen-doors\">kitchen door<\/a> style and finish and we will provide you with a\u00a0quick quote.
