How to Replace the Inside of Kitchen Cabinet Drawers

The inside of kitchen cabinet drawers can become dirty or worn over time, especially drawers that are used every day. New liners can transform the appearance of the inside of your drawers from dull to stylish. Liners come in a wide variety of styles and colors, and they have an adhesive backing so that you can easily adhere them to the inside of your kitchen cabinet drawers. Use matching liners on your cabinet shelving.
