I have nice cupboards in my newly purchased home except 3 fronts are missing? Any ideas on what to do?


I don't want to replace them all but I need to find out a good alternative to just leaving them with no doors. These are in my kitchen.

You could buy doors that are similar but with glass panes in them or metal punched panels to replace them.

This looks really nice if they are in a symetrical location to one another and if they aren't symetrical, you could trade the cabinet doors with ones that are and then put on the decorative doors.

just call the cabniant installer and they can get you doors for them and it should not cost you anything considering they probably are supposed to have doors
well hope this helps

try a screen print material at home depot or lowes or make your self from winow screen you can paint it and nail it up with a border on the outside .

put cloth doors on them with velcro, cheap but effective

Glass doors.
Buy Mills Pride Special Order doors from Home Depot.

They come in 16 1/2" and 18" widths by 30" or 42" high.

go to Home depot, they may have doors to fit in the cabinet area.

sometimes contractors have some left over from a job. there are also cabinetry places that carry some that the installers messed up or were mistakes you can get for cheap. Just call around and you may find something. But if you prefer the no door look you can put things there like cook books if not under the sink or the plastic bins that are small enough to sit in there to hide the pipes. even if not under the sink containers that look appealing to the eye might make it look like the no door thing was the whole reason for the space.

If you're handy with tools, take off one of your solid door fronts and take it to cabinet store and find one that is similarly framed and buy three that have glass inserts. Consider using etched glass if you don't want the contents of the cabinet to show through. This will keep the nice look of your kitchen and bing closure to the open space you have now.

Find old cupboards at flea markets and thrift stores with the same measurements, and salvage their doors. Chances are you can find a good fit.
I don't know what color your cabinets are, or what they are made of but you can paint all the cabinets and get matching hardware for all of them, or stain the doors a matching color to your current cabinets.
