A few things can indicate cabinet refinishing is a good idea, but the most obvious is any sign of water or steam damage. If the existing paint on your cabinets starts to bubble or flake, it could indicate that water or humidity from cooking or surrounding plumbing fixtures or showers is causing damage. Refinishing can add a protective layer to prevent further issues. You should also consider refinishing every eight to ten years, if your cabinet color or finish is outdated, or if you have scratches or scuffs on the faces.

When deciding between stripping or sanding kitchen cabinets, the short answer is it depends on the condition of your cabinets and your end goal for them. If the cabinets are in fairly good condition and don’t have several layers of paint on them, sanding is a good option. On the other hand, older cabinets with more blemishes or marks will benefit from paint stripping, since it will give any future finishes a clean slate.

You can modernize an old-looking closet by just painting it, but beyond that, consider electric elements like recessed or accent lighting. If this is a large and deep closet, you can consider adding an island to the middle or a nice ottoman on a rug. Luxury closets will have even more items, like felt-lined drawers for watches and jewelry, in-wall safes, electronic shoe storage, or a tablet catalog of their items.
