When deciding to complete a kitchen renovation, an important element to consider is the style, colour, and details of the kitchen cabinet doors. Thankfully, our team from Andre Kitchen and Bath specializes in Richmond Hill Kitchen Cabinets and we can provide you with some advice. Remember that kitchen cabinet doors can set the tone and vibe for your entire kitchen so it’s essential to get this component right.
Door Style
The first of the criteria to consider is the door style. You may not have known this, but there are actually three different door styles to choose from. They include: a raised panel, a recessed panel, and a flat panel.
- Raised Panel Doors. A raised panel is known to have a groove between the door frame and the central panel. This groove creates highlights and shadows in the wood giving each door depth and style.
- Recessed Panel Doors. A recessed panel is perfect for homeowners who don’t want to commit to a specific style. They are known to be a modern design and they have a central panel that is lower than the rest of the door.
- Flat Panel Doors. If you desire a minimal appearance in your kitchen, a flat panel door is the way to go. Flat panels can feel contemporary and they pair well with fancy hardware.
Colour & Finish
When deciding if your cabinets will be painted or stained, the answer depends on the wood that is being used. For example, if cherry, maple, walnut, or pine wood is used, a stain would work best to highlight the natural lines in the wood. On the other hand, if you are using MDF or medium-density fiberboards, these boards are better off being painted as the colour will remain consistent.
As per the colour, since the 1930’s white has been the go-to colour of all door styles. This colour is timeless and it presents the kitchen freshly and cleanly. If you wish for your kitchen cabinets to have a rustic farmhouse look, consider distressing the cabinets to prevent them from looking new.
Door Details
Lastly, we are onto the door details. Once the door style and colour have been determined, you can now choose to have any additional details added to the cabinets. This could include decorative trims or inserts. Door details can help to give the kitchen more character and further dimension. In addition, frosted or clear glass can be added to the cabinets to give further detail.
