When you find yourself at the end of a refurbishment project that involved the entire kitchen or maybe even just the cabinets and everything is just as you envisaged it, there are some things that can put a stopper on your celebration, the details.


One such detail that can be easily overlooked is the cabinet door hinges that will hold up the freshly refurbished or completely replaced doors of your cabinet. You would not normally pay any attention to such a tiny component that at first glance isn’t that important. Their only goal is to hold up the cabinet doors but they don’t really make a difference when it comes to the overall look of the cabinet.

If the truth be said it is somewhat of a decorating mistake to use the old hinges on newly refurbished cabinets because it detracts from the goal of the project. When refurbishing cabinets the main objective is to make them look better and as such the old fixtures have to be replaced to allow the entire project to feel fresh and new. If you have made the mistake of using the old cabinet door hinges you will notice how they clash with the new look of your freshly refurbished cabinet. For most people door hinges are not more than an afterthought but despite this they carry a lot of decorative weight.

Cabinet door hinges are appealing to the eye thanks to the multitude of metals they can be fashioned out of and the many different finishes they can have. For instance, a very common example of door hinges are those made of brass; they have a very bright and polished finish and look absolutely gorgeous in certain setups; on the other hand the same brass door hinges can also sport an oil rubbed finish which gives them a completely different look and vibe. Similarly there are stainless steel door hinges that come with a brushed pewter finish or finely crafted wrought iron ones that come with a powder black finish. There are a myriad of options out there, far too many to be mentioned in this article.

When it comes to the materials and finishes, you can rest assured there are cabinet door hinges out there made to suit your taste. When you want to match the style of the cabinets to the room you are working on you will find the door hinges to match. Whether you need to reinforce a traditional, antique or modern look there are definitely enough options out there to satisfy your needs.

Another factor which can determine the door hinges you ultimately select is the actual type of hinges you need. There are many different types of hinges out on the market today. Just to give you an idea there are the inset, overlay, concealed, self-closing, free-swinging, flush or wrap door hinges. Each hinge has a different look and functionality. Some of them are interior hinges and will never be seen from the outside and some will only be partly seen.

It is important to realize that selecting new cabinet door hinges for your freshly refurbished cabinets is a very important task even if it seems simple; you need to take your time and search for the perfect fixtures that will compliment your cabinets and match the overall style of the room.
