Trendy Kitchen Cabinet Styles

There are a few classic kitchen cabinet styles that are described below; you can choose from many different features to complement the decor in your kitchen so that you have a stunning effect. Why not make your cabinets the 'Wow Factor' in your kitchen space?

Cabinets in this style reflect many different influences - modern American, European, Chic and Ultra-Urban for example, but they have some common features. These are smooth, clean lines, streamlined and integrated doors and drawers.

The 'look' is uncluttered, minimalistic and neutral or white colored. Materials that are very popular include metals, stone, stainless steel and glass. Eco-friendly materials are sought after, but are still expensive.

This style includes French Country and Shabby-Chic. It features materials like wood, wrought iron, stone and old-world brass or copper hinges and knobs.

The cabinets are chunky and solid and may have feet and ornate decorations. Distressed and antiquated techniques are achieved by special painting techniques.

This style of cabinetry is a mix of many materials and finishes, but the 'look' is simplistic, functional and homely. The feel is warm and cosy.

Colors are natural wood, neutrals and soft pastels. Cupboards are often glass-doored so that jugs and chinaware can be shown. This is a timeless style.

Cabinets in the Shaker style are complementary with many other styles as they are most of all, functional. They are simple in design but rely on the attractiveness of the wooden grain and the warm finishes with which they are created.

These cabinets are exceptionally simple, plain wood cabinets finished with dyes and oils.
