Kitchen cabinets are an essential element in kitchen design and storage. The look and finish of cabinets massively contribute to the final look of the kitchen. In this journal post we delve into our top choices for kitchen cabinets, exploring the styles, finishes, and materials that elevate your kitchen.
Handleless Cabinets
Handleless cabinets help create a minimal look, perfect match for our Bespoke Kitchen Project 60 – Putney shown above (left). These cabinets are a popular choice nowadays, however, we feel it is dependant on the look you want to achieve. These cabinets are well suited for more modern and minimal kitchens, whereas for other styles there is a range of options you can choose from. For a fully seamless look we created the cabinets show above (right)
Appliance Cabinets
Concealing appliances within kitchen cabinetry is now a must-have for all our bespoke kitchen projects. This helps achieve a cohesive look overall while keeping all the appliances out of sight. This type of storage also allows for easy accessibility when needed. We ensure these units are designed to fit in with the rest of your cabinetry, delivering a uniform look. Shown above is an in-built dishwasher in our Bespoke Kitchen Project 45 Poppleton.
Painted Shaker Style Cabinets
Cabinets are the best way to infuse your space with colour. We have worked on several projects where we got to use stunning colours making the kitchen a warm and fun place. It’s a great way to express your personal style. The classic shaker style is versatile in way that it suits both modern and traditional kitchens. The kitchen show above is our Bespoke Kitchen Project 56 Cotswolds.
Cabinets with Handles
Handles are a great way to define the style of a kitchen, they are a small detail with a huge impact. We experiment with steel, brass, chrome, nickel and many others across our projects. Some suppliers we used Buster and Punch, Corston, Croft, Armac Martin. Projects shown here: Bespoke Kitchen Project 54 York and Bespoke Kitchen Project 51 Chelsea.
Glass Cabinets
Glass is a beautiful material when used thoughtfully in kitchen design. While some areas in the kitchen require concealment, making glass an unsuitable choice for all cabinets, it excels in spaces meant to showcase items while keeping them enclosed.
Our Reena Simon range, featured in our London showroom, exemplifies this approach. By combining glass with wood, we’ve created a harmonious balance that elevates the aesthetic of any kitchen. Clear glass cabinets higher up allow for the display of elegant barware, while fluted glass in the middle provides a semi-transparent option that adds texture and interest. Finally, opaque wood panels at the bottom offer a practical solution for hiding everyday essentials.
This strategic use of glass ensures a dynamic and visually appealing kitchen design, marrying functionality with style. Show above is our Reena Simon Kitchen.
Mesh Wire Cabinets
With decades of experience designing kitchens, we have had the opportunity to explore a wide range of design themes, each tailored to meet the unique tastes and needs of our clients. One popular style that has garnered significant attention is the industrial look. This aesthetic combines raw materials, rugged textures, and a utilitarian approach to create spaces that are both functional and visually striking.
One standout example of this is our Bespoke Kitchen Project 38 – Earnley. In this project, we achieved the industrial look by incorporating mesh wire cabinets, a defining feature that adds a touch of edgy sophistication to the space. The mesh wire not only provides a unique visual texture but also offers practical benefits, such as improved ventilation and a modern, airy feel.
