When it comes to completing the design of a kitchen, the cupboards should always be considered in order to create the perfect finishing touch. They are, in a sense, the walls to your kitchen and so no matter the overall design, they can easily influence the way it is perceived.
There are various alternative designs you can go for when considering your cupboard fronts, whether it be glass, solid wood, or even open types. Here are a few examples of how each option could elevate your kitchen space.
Glass Can Make Your Kitchen Transparent
We’ve all been there. Flinging open kitchen cupboards in a frantic search for the last tin of soup. A glass cupboard front is an easy answer to a more practical lifestyle. Not only this, but kitchen cupboards are not only there to store food, there is no reason why glass cupboard fronts can’t also display interesting and decorative ornaments. Many people, for instance, like to bring back interesting vacation ornaments and trinkets to friends and family. With a glass cupboard front, you can display anything, whether it’s artistic curios from Europe or Judaica gifts from Israel.
Solid Wood Can Give Your Kitchen A Warm Feel
Although a wooden kitchen is not necessarily fashionable, the in-trend option of modern, minimalist kitchens has the potential to feel a little clinical or cold. Solid wood cupboard fronts can alleviate this symptom. No matter if it’s oak or walnut, wood has the ability to transform your kitchen into something both warm and welcoming, which is important when you think about how often the kitchen is actually used.
Remember, this is not just a space for preparing dinner. The kitchen is a lot more communal, which means you have to cater for people who like to congregate and chat before and after supper is prepared.
Open Designs Can Give Your Kitchen A Spacious Feel
Lastly, open shelving or cupboard designs have the power to make your kitchen feel bigger than it actually is. Like the glass type, you will be able to view food, condiments and ornaments, but the lack of any obstruction can make your cupboard feel integrated into the wall, rather than acting as a wall itself. When considering the space of a kitchen, cupboards have the potential to take away at least twelve inches from your kitchen. With an open design, this space is opened up again, allowing your kitchen to take back the space and feel far more extended.
Whatever cupboard front you choose, it is important to take in all factors in your decision. What kind of kitchen are you looking for? Does it fit with your pre-existing style? Choosing the right cupboard front can do wonders to elevate your kitchen and make it feel complete. Look at the space and try to imagine how it would integrate with the rest of the room. That way, you can be comfortable with your decision before you even start installing.
