5 Tips for Low-Maintenance Kitchen Cabinets

The kitchen is the place where a family can gather and spend time over a good meal after a long day. Unfortunately, the kitchen is also the toughest room to clean, but there are things you can do to make your kitchen low-maintenance, starting with your cabinets. Kitchen cabinet refinishing experts from DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Aiken are here to help you get started with these tips:

Reduce open shelving. Open shelving is great if you want to display your favorite decor and cookware. However, if you want to keep your kitchen easy to maintain, experts recommend that you reduce open shelving because it takes extra time and effort to dust and organize these spaces.
Stain instead of paint. When it comes to your kitchen cabinets, it’s recommended that you stain instead of painting since stain is easier to touch up.
Avoid glass door fronts. If you want to keep your kitchen as low-maintenance as possible, kitchen remodeling pros say that you should avoid using glass door fronts for your kitchen. While they may allow you to see into your cabinet without needing to open it, glass doors also attract a fair amount of dust, dirt and smudges.
Opt for flush cabinet ends. You can choose between two different kinds of cabinet ends: flush ends or matching ends. Flush ends are plywood ends that match your cabinet’s colors while matching ends have a panel that’s the same style as your door front. Of the two, experts recommend flush cabinet ends if you want to keep your kitchen low-maintenance. They’re easier to clean.
Choose a door style with minimal detail. To keep your kitchen low-maintenance, be sure to pick a door style that has minimal detail to minimize the amount of dirt and dust that will accumulate on your cabinet doors.
