20 Creative Ideas to Transform Your Old Hutch with Paint
A few months ago, I decided it was time to tackle an old hutch makeover. It felt like the perfect solution—practical, creative, and budget-friendly—to solve the lack of storage in our open-concept main floor.
Back in time, when we added a second story to our house, the main floor became a bright and airy space. We love the openness, the natural light, and the way it brings everyone together. But let’s be real: open-concept living leaves you with very few storage options.
Sure, we could’ve bought a fancy new cabinet, but that’s not our style. Upcycling is cheaper, greener, and lets us add a personal touch to our home. Old hutches are everywhere—some people give them away for free!
There are three main ways to modernize an old hutch:
-
Swap out the hardware: Replace dated knobs and handles for a fresh look.
-
Modify the structure: Remove fussy trim or add new details like feet or crown molding.
-
Paint: This is my go-to solution. Fusion mineral paint is a favorite—it’s durable, easy to use, and gives a gorgeous matte finish.
