Are you tired of dreary looking cabinets but new ones are simply not in the budget – consider changing out the kitchen cabinet hinges, which will make a huge difference. For some reason, most people think the only way to enhance the appearance of cabinets is by pulling them out and replacing them, or having them painted or refaced. The truth is that while this is one option, something as inexpensive and simply as new kitchen cabinet door hinges can do wonders. These days you have all sorts of hinges types to choose from.
Although you could merely exchange the existing kitchen cabinet hinges, choosing the same material and style, if you want a new and improved look, consider something completely different. For instance, if your home was built in the 1970s, chances are the original hinges are plain and gold. Instead, look at the style and decorum of the kitchen and make a different choice. If your kitchen has a Tuscany look, then perhaps black hinges would work whereas if your kitchen is contemporary, consider kitchen cabinet door hinges made from brushed nickel.
If you have an old Victorian era home, you can choose reproduction hinges, keeping with the integrity of the home. In this case, you have the option of searching for and buying original hinges but this would take both time and money. Instead, reproductions still complement the style while being easy to find and very affordable. One beautiful option is a solid brass, stamped bail pull with brass stamped back-plate. This style is elegant and appropriate for this style of home. Best of all, you can find these kitchen cabinet hinges for as little as $1.75 each.
Another beautiful and traditional style is the finger pull with keyhole. Although you have exceptional choices of material, we again recommend solid brass, which is highly durable and sturdy. Measuring 3.5 inches long and just .75 inches wide, you will find this type of hinge works well with all styles of cabinets. If you prefer, an unfinished brass, antique, or lacquered finish are also beautiful enhancements.
Ceramic, acrylic, and glass are also wonderful types of kitchen cabinet hinges. This style would also work well with an older home, although it would add elegance and charm to a newer home as well. Just remember when choosing new kitchen cabinet hinges types, consider the wood in that the hinges should not stand out but complement or blend so they become one design with the cabinets.
