Upgrade Your Kitchen With Modern 1-piece Cabinet Doors
A Smart, Stylish, and Affordable Way to Transform Your Space
At Murray’s Modernized Furnishings, we refinish all types of cabinetry—but a common theme we see is outdated or unwanted door styles. Whether it’s orange oak, heavy cathedral arches, overly ornate raised panels, or older builder-grade doors that no longer fit your style, many homeowners are surprised to learn that they don’t have to keep their existing door design.
You have the option to replace your old doors with brand-new composite, 1 piece doors, giving your kitchen a fresh, modern look with minimal extra investment.
Why Many Older Doors Don’t Age Well
Real wood like oak is beautiful, but it has limitations—especially when painted. Oak’s deep, open grain can show through even after:
- Deep sanding
- Sealer/isolator
- Multiple coats of high-build primer
- Professional Italian 2K finishes
While our refinishing process delivers a smooth, durable, modern finish, even the best work can’t fully mimic the perfectly flat, factory look of a new door.
And for heavily grained or dated designs, grain-filling and reshaping is extremely labor-intensive. The additional primers, fillers, and sanding time quickly add up.
This is where HDF doors shine.
Why New 1-piece Doors Are Often the Better Choice
1. Perfectly Flat, Seamless Surface
Composite doors are made from dense, smooth material—no grain, no texture, no movement. They give us the ideal surface to apply our Italian 2K coatings, resulting in a flawless, factory-smooth finish.
2. Choose Any Style You Want
Replacing your doors opens the door (literally!) to endless design options:
- Shaker
- Modern slab
- Traditional trim
- Beaded shaker
- Minimalist profiles
You’re not limited by the shape or grain of your existing doors.
3. Includes Soft-Close Hinges
Every new door we provide comes with complimentary soft-close or self-close hinges, instantly modernizing the way your cabinetry functions.
4. Built for Durability
We use Ranger Platinum HDF, the gold standard in high-density fiberboard.
Benefits include:
- Highly stable
- Warp-resistant
- One-piece construction (no joints for moisture to enter)
- Perfect pairing with industrial 2K coatings
The result is a long-lasting, ultra-sleek surface built for years of daily use.
5. Big Visual Impact for a Small Extra Cost
Cabinet doors make up most of what you see in a kitchen. Even perfectly painted old doors may not fully modernize a space if the style itself is outdated.
Here’s the good news:
Our new doors are often only a few hundred dollars more than refinishing old ones—and you save on labor because we’re not grain-filling and rebuilding heavily grained or dated doors.
The transformation per dollar is one of the best upgrades you can make.
A Smart Investment in a Modern, Factory-Finished Look
If you’re after a kitchen that feels fresh, modern, and truly updated—not just repainted—new HDF doors are often the option that delivers the most value.
You get:
- Cleaner lines
- A perfectly smooth finish
- Modern hardware
- A style you actually love
- Long-lasting durability
All while keeping your existing cabinet boxes and layout.
