Kitchen Cabinets Design 

If you are on the market for kitchen cabinets then you probably already know how wide the selection is. There are cabinets in a wide variety of woods such as maple, oak and beech. There are stainless steel cabinets, metal cabinets and highly-glossed cabinets. They are available in a wide variety of stains and in styles ranging from modern to vintage with everything in between.

Maple cabinets come in a wide variety of their own. Maple is very durable and can be stained in colors such as Honey or Espresso. The different stains give the cabinets such diverse looks that they fit in well in most decors. The doors can come in several styles such as squared raised panels or glass doors. Drawers can come dovetailed, hardware can be anything you want, (pewter, metal, wood) and there are special cabinets such as wine cabinets that can be in place of regular cabinets.

The vintage look is in and there are many good cabinet choices in this decor. Metal kitchen cabinets can come in a bold color like red and really make a statement. Chrome hardware adds to this diner look. For quieter vintage you might consider Shaker-inspired cabinets which were featured in kitchens from the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s. Shaker cabinets reached to the ceiling since space was scarce and every inch was needed. The benefit of cabinets that reach right up to the ceiling is that dust does not collect up there. Another vintage look in kitchen cabinets is wire or slatted shelves for ventilation. Further ventilation comes in the form of wire doors. A great color for these cabinets is any color that has chips and scratches, thereby, also naming this decor style shabby chic.

Ultra modern kitchen cabinets come with curved corners, sleek and shiny surfaces. They are lacquered in vivid colors like orange, lime and lemon yellow. They can come in stainless steel and might have utility looks reminiscent of restaurants with lots of open displays. The cabinets have clean lines and the look is simple and uncluttered. The hardware is often chrome and geometric. These cabinets are modern, sophisticated and very efficient.

Shopping for kitchen cabinets can be fun. With such a large variety you might even end up choosing something you never thought you would. The kitchen is the heart of the home so choose the kitchen cabinets that make you smile.
