When I renovated my laundry room, I wanted everything around it to flow—including a set of built-in hallway cabinets that sit just outside the laundry space. These cabinets are incredibly functional, but the outdated doors didn’t match the fresh, modern vibe of the new laundry area. Rather than tearing them out (which would have been costly and unnecessary), I found a better solution: custom cabinet doors from Nieu Cabinet Doors.
Why I Chose Nieu Cabinet Doors
Nieu specializes in made-to-order doors that fit your existing cabinet boxes. It’s such a smart way to give your space a facelift without the mess, time, and cost of a full demo. You send them your measurements, choose a style and color, and they custom build and paint the doors before shipping them directly to your door. Easy!
I selected the Super Shaker style to complement the new cabinetry in my laundry room. For color, I went with Sandbar by Sherwin-Williams—which I had already used for the trim in the same area. It ties everything together beautifully, especially with the warm wood tones in the rest of the space.
Installation Process
Before I could install the new doors, I gave the cabinet face frame a quick sanding to dull the existing finish. Then I primed and painted it in the same Sandbar color to match the new doors. I also added matching trim for a seamless look.
The Super Shaker doors are a little on the heavy side, so I enlisted my son to help hold them steady while I drilled new hinge holes and mounted them. After everything was hung and level, I drilled the hardware holes and added these vintage cabinet pulls to complete the look.
The Final Result
Now these hallway cabinets look totally refreshed—and they flow beautifully with my newly renovated laundry room. It’s a great reminder that sometimes, a small change like updating cabinet doors can make a big difference in how your whole home feels.
If you’re thinking about updating your cabinets but don’t want the headache of replacing the whole thing, definitely check out Nieu Cabinet Doors. It’s a budget-friendly, DIY-friendly option that gives you a big design impact.
