Not Just Kitchen Cabinets: 3 More Rooms to Check when Painting or Refinishing Cabinets

If you’re like most people, spring and summer call for tackling all of the projects you’ve left on the back burner all winter long. Landscaping projects are nice for all of the backyard gatherings that may be coming up, but it is crucial to keep your home’s interior on the list of projects to complete.

Cabinets are easy to forget: you either have them installed right when you move in, or you never give them a second thought until it’s time for complete surface restoration. What you may not have realized is that your cabinets endure plenty of wear and tear on a daily basis, and they could be in worse shape than you realize.

Just like your walls need a fresh coat of paint every now and then to maintain their appearance, your cabinets need attention more than just when you move in. When you’re sprucing up your kitchen cabinets, don’t forget about these three other rooms when painting or refinishing cabinets.

In many homes, the laundry room is host to an often-forgotten set of cabinets. Whether it is for towel storage, cleaning supplies, or just hiding away clutter you don’t want elsewhere in your house, these cabinets are important to monitor.

Your laundry room surfaces suffer a lot of daily wear and tear. Even the best washing machines may occasionally leak moisture, and cleaning agents can be corrosive to your surfaces. When you’re refinishing your cabinets, always check your laundry room to ensure that your cabinets are still in good shape.

Most bathrooms will have at least one set of cabinets to keep your toiletries and cleaning supplies safely tucked away. Even more so than your laundry room cabinets, the ones in your bathroom are at a high risk of getting damaged. If you’ve even walked out of the shower to a fogged-over mirror, your bathroom is harboring moisture.

In your bathroom, the paint on your walls is at risk for degradation, and the same goes for your cabinets. Check your cabinets for chipping, facing, or bubbling paint that can often occur as a result of moisture-related damage.

If you have a mudroom, you know your cabinets, floors, and doors fall victim to tons of different substances. Whether it is mud, snow, rainwater, or road salt, all of the substances tracked into your mudroom can have a corrosive effect on the paint or finish of your cabinets.
