New kitchen cabinets are often a part of a kitchen remodel. In some cases, you may want to plan a new cabinet installation even if you don’t plan on doing an entire kitchen remodel. A new cabinet installation can upgrade your kitchen, but sometimes it’s not about the upgrade but the function. Here are three signs that you need a new cabinet installation. 

Your Cabinets Don’t Close Right

Kitchen cabinets, like everything else, have an end date where they simply do not function as they should. A good indicator that your cabinets have exceeded their expected lifespan is when you close one cabinet and another one pops open or when you just cannot close your cabinets at all. 

The problem could be due to the material warping over time. There is a lot of heat and moisture exposure in the kitchen, and some materials just cannot stand up to that. If you find it difficult to keep your cabinet doors shut, it is a good indication that it is time for new cabinet installation. 

Your Cabinets Don't Meet Your Needs

If you live in an older home, you may find that your cabinets don’t fit your lifestyle. Older homes typically don’t have enough storage space in the kitchen. If this sounds like your home, it might be time to have new cabinets installed. 

Cabinetry plays a crucial role in the function of your kitchen. With new cabinets, you can have better storage and potentially cook more and eat healthier. When you love your kitchen and it is also highly functional, spending time in it can be great.

Your Cabinets Don’t Meet Your Aesthetic Goals

The 1960s ranch that you fell in love with may be chock-full of mid-century charm, but you might not like the color and style of the kitchen cabinets. If this is the case, it may be a sign that you need to change your cabinetry. Aesthetics plays a key role in how you feel about your kitchen and home. Cabinetry is so important that, according to HomeGuide, it accounts for about 28% of remodeling costs for the kitchen. Ensuring your kitchen cabinets have the same aesthetic appearance as the rest of your kitchen and home can increase your home’s value and appeal.
