Cabinets Design: Which One is Right For Me?

With so many options available out there, it might be a bit overwhelming to pick the right cabinets, for all your style, home decor, needs, and budget. But don’t worry! That´s why we have enlisted here, all the designs and options available, as far as kitchen cabinets go, so you can go through them and decide which one matches your kitchen style and needs better. 

• Farmhouse cabinets: The farmhouse aesthetic is popular for many reasons, but most notably because of the combination of fresh colors with features that make kitchen life easier. Farmhouse sinks, cabinets, lighting, organizational accessories, and beautifully durable flooring all play a role in making farmhouses so cozy and comfortable. The color white is popular for its cheerful look and because it reminds us of a time when whitewashed furniture was all the rage in farmhouses. If you want to stick with light shades, try whites like a dove or antique white. Or mix things up by going with wood tones or gray instead. For cabinets that will perfectly capture the farmhouse aesthetic, opt for ones that are painted white. This creates a lovely smooth finish that has an almost understated elegance about it. To complete the look, add wooden accents, metals, and glass fixtures around the room

• Modern Cabinets: The modern design for kitchens first came about over a century ago and still focuses on clean lines with minimal decorative elements. Unlike the Victorian era where everything had to be super detailed and busy, modern styles development to use fewer shapes and minimalist details by focusing more on function than form. Therefore, every element in a modern kitchen has a specific purpose that not only makes it stylish but also relaxing. The cabinets are the foundation for any modern kitchen, so you must pick the ones you love. If you’re looking for a sleek and clean look, opt for glossy white slab-style cabinets. And because white goes with everything, your kitchen will have a simple yet stylish feel. To add some color or wood tone to the room, go with slab doors in shades like grey wood, white pine, oyster shell, or dark wood. Hues range from light and airy to dark and rich — all of which would be perfect for your dream aesthetic! If you’re searching for pulls and knobs with a modern look, choose options with basic shapes, clean lines, and a few decorative details. Pass on pulls and knobs with intricate designs or too many flourishes. Some of the most popular finishes include glass, natural stone, wood, and chrome. This contrast of manmade materials against organic choices creates an inviting kitchen that’s still pleasing to the eye.

• Classic Cabinets: Traditional kitchens feature trimmings and decorations that elevate a room’s look without overwhelming it. The goal is to appear beautiful, warm, and welcoming. Shaker cabinets or doors with raised panels work best with this style, usually in colors like antique white or rich wood tones like a saddle. To add an upscale look to your cabinets, consider additional accessories such as fluted legs, wine racks, and crown molding.

• Transitional Cabinets: Transitional design is a happy medium between modern and traditional interior styles–it’s sleek with a few homey touches. This style is especially versatile because it can be customized to fit your taste. Most importantly, the transitional design doesn’t have hard-and-fast rules like other styles; you get to choose what goes into the space! Transitional kitchens are common and use raised panel or shaker cabinets that take a range of colors well. For these cabinets, gray is commonly seen as it matches other finishes and accents easily. When considering lighting fixtures, hardware choices such as glass, polished nickel, gold, and matte black add style to the kitchen space.

• Cottage Cabinets: Cottage kitchens boast lighter, airier spaces while maintaining some rustic simplicity. A few vintage elements like an oil lantern or white cast-iron sink can add old-fashioned charm, and linen window treatments or flannel tablecloths provide warmth. The cottage style is a perfect blend of the old and new that feels natural and inviting. Cottage-style cabinets look best in antique white, with door styles varying between raised panel and Shaker. Glass doors are perfect for this aesthetic, especially if you have fine china to show off. And accessories like fluted legs and wine racks add tasteful hints of refinement. Ornately decorative hardware works well with cottage cabinets, especially antique pewter, bronze, or iron. Consider latches for cabinets; these add an antique touch while keeping doors secure. Pair with wood floors or subway tiles to complete the look
