Most likely, you access your kitchen cabinets several times each day. After a while, they might start to sink into the background. However, as such an essential part of your home, you want them to make your life easier and breathe life into your kitchen. If they don’t do that or exhibit any of the signs below, it’s probably time to think about upgrading.  

When to Replace Your Kitchen Cabinets

1. The Finish Is Damaged

Over time, the lamination on kitchen cabinets will begin to peel or yellow from regular use and constant contact with heat and moisture. This can cause your once fashionable designs to feel shabby and old. The moisture can even penetrate deeper layers in the wood. When this happens, the material expands and changes dimensions, which causes joint cracks, warping, or bowing to appear in the finish.  

2. They Make You Work Harder Not Smarter

Older kitchen cabinets were not designed with efficiency in mind. This can make storing and accessing goods difficult. If you find you have to constantly pull out numerous items before reaching for what you are looking, it’s time to upgrade. Newer designs prioritize organization and make locating every item in your kitchen a breeze.   

3. There Is Not Enough Space

If you enjoy cooking, it’s only natural that your kitchen equipment will grow. If your kitchen cabinets are no longer able to house all of your tools and food items, new cabinets are a smart investment. They can be designed with your needs in mind so that every nook and cranny can be used effectively to house goods. This way you don’t have to give up valuable utensils to make extra space.
