Upgrade your bathroom cabinets this October! A makeover with new paint, hardware, or storage is faster than a reno & preps your home before the holidays.

In addition to the crisp air and pumpkin spice, October is the ideal time of year to start those home renovation projects you’ve been putting off until the holiday rush. And the restroom is a great place to start. A bathroom cabinet that is outdated or broken can detract from the overall design of your private haven. Consider a strategic bathroom cabinet makeover this October rather than a complete renovation. You can create a modern, fresh look without going over budget or enduring weeks of inconvenience with a little forethought and inventive touches.

Why It’s Best to Update Your Cabinets in October 

Let’s face it: as soon as November arrives, we have a full schedule of travel, holiday preparations, and celebrations. Then, working on a project at home turns into a source of stress rather than pleasure. Starting your bathroom cabinet renovation in October guarantees that you’ll have a gorgeously renovated area that is ready to wow any holiday visitors and offer a calm retreat for you prior to the busiest season.

Ideas for Revolutionary Bathroom Cabinet Makeovers

To make a significant change, you don’t always have to tear everything out and replace it. Consider these creative ideas for bathroom cabinet renovations this autumn:

1. The Power of Paint: A New Coat for a Different Style

A new coat of paint is arguably the most economical and noticeable renovation. A bathroom can look dated right away with peeling finishes or outdated wood tones.

• Choose Classic White: A small bathroom is instantly brightened and given a clean, spa-like atmosphere by a crisp white. It’s a classic option that complements any style.
• Embrace Color: Try new things without fear! Charcoal grays, soft sage greens, or deep navies can all be used to add personality and sophistication. For a layered effect, use a lighter shade for linen towers and a bolder color for vanity cabinets. Use premium cabinet paint that is made especially to resist moisture in bathrooms.

2. Improve Your Hardware: Your Cabinets’ Jewel

Consider cabinet knobs and pulls to be the jewels of your bathroom cabinets. The style can be totally altered by replacing builder-grade, tarnished, or outdated hardware with new.

• Contemporary Sleekness: For a modern look, choose minimalist matte black knobs or brushed nickel bar pulls.
• Vintage Charm: Old-world elegance and a dash of glitz can be added with crystal or brass knobs.
• Mixed Metals: If you want to mix metals on purpose, don’t be afraid to do so. Matte black cabinet pulls, for instance, look stunning with a chrome faucet.

3. Intelligent Storage Options: Make the Most of Your Space

Only when it is well-organized can a gorgeous cabinet be used effectively. The month of October is an excellent time to put bathroom cabinet organization ideas into practice.

• Organizers that pull out: For easy access to items in deep cabinets, install pull-out shelves or drawers.
• Dividers for drawers: Maintain a clean separation between essentials, makeup, and toiletries.
• Solutions Under Sinks: To maximize that awkward space beneath the sink, use tiered organizers and clear bins. Additionally, this clears up the mess on your countertops, which immediately enlarges and cleans the bathroom.

4. Lighten the Look with Glass Inserts or Open Shelving

Consider replacing upper cabinet doors with open shelves or glass cabinet doors with solid panels for a lighter, more airy feel.

• Open Shelving: Ideal for showcasing attractive apothecary jars, decorative baskets, or well-folded towels. This can give the impression that a small bathroom is much larger.
• Glass inserts: Provide a middle ground between closed cabinets and open shelving, letting you display goods while shielding them from dust.

Did You Know? 

You can instantly create a high-end look by replacing solid cabinet door panels with frosted or reeded glass inserts, which add visual texture and light without exposing all of your cabinet contents!

Commonly Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the average cost of repainting bathroom cabinets as opposed to refacing them? 

Repainting bathroom cabinets is usually the least expensive option; depending on the quantity and condition of the cabinets, it can cost anywhere from a few hundred to more than a thousand dollars if done professionally. Cabinet refacing is a mid-range option that typically costs much more than painting but less than a complete replacement. It entails replacing the doors and drawer fronts while retaining the existing cabinet boxes. Depending on the materials and extent, refacing can cost anywhere from a few thousand to several thousand dollars.

Which paints and finishes work best for bathroom cabinets that are subjected to moisture? 

Sturdiness and resistance to moisture are essential for bathroom cabinets. We suggest premium satin enamel or semi-gloss paints. Compared to matte or eggshell paints, these finishes are more resilient to moisture, easier to clean, and longer-lasting. Additionally, take into account paints with mildew-resistant qualities or those designated for “kitchen and bath.” For the best and longest-lasting results, always make sure that the surface is properly prepared, which includes cleaning, sanding, and priming with a high-quality moisture-resistant primer.
