How do you cover kitchen cabinets with out painting?

Question

the cabinets are not real wood/in a rental

Answer 1

If you've got those flat white melamine cabinet doors you can actually use stainless steel contact paper on them to give them a modern/industrial look.....if not then try buying woven bamboo sheets from a home depot or lowes, then cut out sheets approximately 1/2" smaller than the doors. Then hot glue gun the sheets to the door. You can frame it out with any type of molding you want using either caulking or a hot glue gun to attach. You'll have a tropical kind of style. And this way it's not permanent!!! Good Luck with your project!

Answer 2

Paint's cheaper than re-surfacing the laminate finish.

I have seen Con-Tac paper on the outsides of cabinets before. Kind of a funky look. But it won't hold up to the inevitable bumps and nicks kitchen cabinets get.

Answer 3

I have to assume youve got the cabinets but there are no doors.
I did something for a friend that was easy and worked out very cute. I made very simple little "curtains" for the cabinets and used long springs to hold them at the top and the bottom, instead of clunky curtain rods, it was a good match with her kitchen ..and i made her a matching table cloth..its darling!

Answer 4

you can use a shelf liner and line the cabinets with shelf liner or contact paper or you could also if they are for your use take the doors off and use a small tention rod and hang material like a curtin on them good luck hope these ideas help

Answer 5

Re-laminate. If you are the renter, it's not worth it. Ask the landlord to do it.

Answer 6

Looks like you have to live with it.
