Introduction
Looking to give your kitchen a fresh new look without the hassle or cost of a full renovation? Cabinet refacing is a simple and budget-friendly solution that can transform your space. Whether you have Frameless or IKEA cabinets or face frame cabinets, refacing allows you to keep your existing layout and cabinet boxes while swapping out doors and drawer fronts for a modern, updated look. It’s an affordable and easy way to achieve a stylish kitchen makeover without the need of a major remodel.
How to Identify Face Frame vs. Frameless or IKEA Cabinets
Before you begin your project, it’s important to determine whether your cabinets are framed or frameless. Framed cabinets have a frame on the front of the cabinet, while Frameless do not.
- Framed cabinets have a noticeable front frame, as seen on the left side of the image below. This frame surrounds the cabinet opening, giving the structure added support but slightly reducing access to the interior.
- Frameless cabinets, like IKEA models, have no front frame, as seen on the right side of the image below.
No matter which style you have, refacing works for both, allowing you to refresh your cabinets without replacing them entirely.
Benefits of Frameless or IKEA Cabinets
Frameless cabinets open up more possibilities for your cabinet layout needs. With the universal application of Frameless cabinets, the functionality and ease of access can improve your space, offering flexibility to add drawers of any height or create door layouts. With Face Frame cabinets, you’re limited to the existing opening sizes whereas Frameless cabinets also offer options for more storage solutions and overall design flexibility.
Why Reface IKEA Cabinets?
There are many reasons to consider refacing. You might want to change the current color of your cabinets, fix damaged doors or drawers, or switch out old hardware (like changing from knobs to pulls). Refacing is a budget-friendly way to complete your IKEA/frameless cabinets. It’s an easy, affordable way to modernize your kitchen’s look and improve its functionality.
How to Determine if You Need a Replacement Drawer Box
Front + Center drawer boxes are miter folded and flat-packed, making them easy to assemble. Consider replacing your drawer box if you have a 3-sided drawer (to add a matching drawer front). Other reasons may include changing the layout from a door to drawers, or creating a combination of door and drawers. You may also need to replace the drawer if it’s damaged or if you want to upgrade to a soft-close drawer slide for a smoother glide.
