While refacing your cabinets, consider other cost-effective renovations throughout your home. Laminate is an inexpensive and versatile remodeling material, and it’s not just for kitchen countertops and bathroom floors.

Laminates Throughout the Home

A new laminate countertop would complement your newly refaced cabinets, but why stop there? Laminates are available in a wide variety of colors including greens, blues, and beiges that can balance many areas of your home. Laminate is resistant to nicks and scratches, and is easily maintained with soap and water which makes it an ideal renovation material for high-use areas like:

1. Craft/hobby rooms * Garages * Kid’s rooms * Family rooms * Snack areas * Cabinets and bookshelves
Other less obvious areas in the home where laminate remodeling may be beneficial:

2. A laundry room countertop. The countertop would be ideal for folding clothes and easy to clean in case of any detergent spills.

3. A durable laminate built-in desk. Many homeowners store mail and paperwork near the kitchen, a built-in kitchen desk would be an ideal way to complement your cabinet refacing selections and kitchen décor.

4. Laminate storage enclosures, table tops, and decorative moldings. Ideal for increasingly trendy home theaters, computer work stations, and video console areas.

Laminate is a popular remodeling material for many areas of the home because of the wide array of design options. Rounded custom edges on tables and countertops make them a safe alternative especially if you have children running through the home. In tougher, high-traffic environments, it makes sense to renovate walls and doors with laminate. Laminate can also play a big part in rooms with dual functions; a laundry room can become a craft or hobby room, or a family room can double as a homework station or computer room.
Hire a contractor to reface your cabinets and remodel with laminate around your home. Laminate is not just for kitchen and bathroom renovations. Be creative and complement your cabinet decor.
