Kitchen cabinets are a key part of any kitchen. Typically one of the most expensive elements to buy, and a huge part of your kitchen styling, the kitchen cabinet provides so much more than just storage.
When choosing the right kitchen cabinets for your designer kitchen, you needn’t feel restricted by traditional designs. There are so many fantastic options out there, so why not be inspired by some of our favourites?
Shaker-style cabinets are great for that sleek, contemporary style. Opt for recessed panels inside flat-frames for a look that’s both traditional and contemporary and team with stainless steel appliances.
To create this look, antique-style furniture is key. Opt for cabinets that are heavily distressed and choose colours of mossy-greens, duck egg blues and woody browns. Ledge accents on the cabinets will also give them a vintage farmhouse feel.
For something simple and classic, opt for white, or off white Shaker-style doors. The great thing about white is that it can suit so many styles – from modern kitchens right through to a more traditional or country cottage style kitchen.
Add some vintage charm to your home with vintage style cabinets with glass panel cabinet doors. Opt for neutral colours and beaded edges and mix with pretty glass nobs to add that final touch of vintage.
When choosing your kitchen cabinet, it’s not just the exterior you should be thinking about. You should also consider the functionality of the cabinet and ways in which you can add a creative, yet practical touch.
Here are a few of our favourite ideas:
Don’t just limit your storage options to a few shelves. Consider pull out trays, bread boxes and make the most of narrow spaces you’d usually give amiss.
Rather than just opening a cupboard door to find shelving, why not consider pullout doors attached to shelves for pots and pans, holders for recycling, and racks for canned and dry goods.
You could also make use of drawer inserts to maximise the organisational function of your cabinet and help you to maintain a clutter-free kitchen.
Who says your cabinets can’t be a focal point of your kitchen? With a space dedicated to floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, you can reduce storage from other areas and have a fabulous looking cabinet that houses everything from everyday dishes to small kitchen appliances and table linens.
A popular trend is the cohesive look, achieved by hiding appliances behind cabinet doors. An example of this is the fridge, or dishwasher, now commonly hidden behind cabinetry to match the whole look of the kitchen for a sleek and contemporary finish.

CONTEMPORARY ELEGANCE FOR A PERIOD HOME
When Zee and Adam decided to transform their kitchen, they explored several companies before selecting Kitchen Design Centre in Barrowford.
Contemporary elegance for a period home
It was Simon Thomas, the Showroom Manager, who stood out with his exceptional design expertise and ability to offer creative, tailored solutions.
The couple were particularly impressed by the Barrowford showroom, liking its large size and the variety of stunning displays. They liked the main flagship display and it inspired their final design, as they adopted many features including the large island and Graphite and Taupe colour scheme.
Seeking a modern update to their traditional kitchen, Zee and Adam tasked Simon with reimagining the space while respecting the period property’s original features. To achieve their vision, they decided to remove a wall and merge two rooms, creating a spacious, open-plan kitchen and living area that now spans the length of their home.

A STUNNING CLASSICAL KITCHEN FOR A LUXURY APARTMENT
When Karen and Peter downsized from their farm, they opted for a luxurious apartment in a historic hall in Holmfirth, Yorkshire. For their dream kitchen, they turned to Lauren Couperthwaite at Kitchen Design Centre, Housing Units, Failsworth.
Initially considering a local bespoke kitchen company, Karen found they couldn’t match the extensive product range and expert design skills of Kitchen Design Centre.
The brief was to celebrate the apartment’s grand architectural features—high ceilings, natural light, and intricate coving—while crafting a kitchen that blended seamlessly with the home’s traditional aesthetic. Lauren’s choice of a pale sage green ash-effect eucalyptus finish brought timeless charm, perfectly paired with classic handles.
