Why December Is the Best Time to Refresh Your Cabinets

December is the season of cozy nights, holiday baking, and gathering in the kitchen. It’s also when a lot of homeowners realize their cabinets are… not exactly holiday-ready:

• Scratched or worn doors

• Dated wood tones

• Peeling or yellowed finishes

If you’ve been saying, “We really need to do something about this,” December is the ideal time to finally make a plan.

Refinish vs. Replace: A Smarter Upgrade

You don’t need a full remodel to love your kitchen again. Cabinet refinishing gives you a whole new look without the demolition, mess, or massive price tag.

Why homeowners love refinishing:

• You save thousands compared to brand-new cabinets.

• Less disruption – our process is faster and cleaner than a full gut job.

• Eco-friendly choice – you reuse what you already have instead of sending it to the landfill.

• Big visual impact – a fresh, modern color makes your whole kitchen feel new.

Holiday Hosting Starts in the Kitchen

From cookie baking to family dinners, everything flows through the kitchen in December. Freshly refinished cabinets:

• Brighten your space for guests and photos

• Create a beautiful backdrop for coffee, cocoa, and charcuterie bars

• Make you feel proud instead of apologizing for “old cabinets”

A cabinet refresh doesn’t just upgrade your home—it upgrades your everyday mood.

Color Ideas That Look Great All Year

Not sure what direction to go? These timeless options work well beyond the holidays:

• Crisp whites to instantly lighten and modernize

• Warm greige or taupe for soft, sophisticated warmth

• Navy or charcoal on an island for a custom, high-end feel

• Soft greens for a calm, nature-inspired look

NuLook can help you select colors that complement your existing countertops, backsplash, and floors.
