Types of Kitchen Doors
There is a lot to consider when you come to updating your kitchen. One of the key features to a kitchen is the doors and with so many options available, how do you decide which ones are the best suited to you and your kitchen?
Colour
First you'll need to decide on what colour to go for. Depending on the look you're choosing, colour can make all the difference. When looking at modern kitchens, these days, they have two different colour doors, which gives a beautiful contrast with the right choice of colours.
Having two colour doors in your kitchen also keeps the kitchen fresh and you're less likely to become board of looking at the same kitchen everyday. It adds lovely contrast to kitchens and keeps it interesting. The most common two-tone design is a dark/bright/bold colour, combined with a lighter/calmer colour.
Alternatively, choosing the same colour door to complete your kitchen is not outdated. The contrast can be created from the worktops themselves, the interior, furniture and the flooring. There's plenty to consider when designing your kitchen.
If you want to make a statement. your unit colour is where to do it. Traditionally used for the core colour of the scheme, making an accent of your base units ca turn an island into a real centerpiece. More subtle schemes can still benefit from alternate colours based on your wall cabinet doors, more complimentary than an accent. Contrasting the colour of your drawers against the the cabinet itself will add an extra line of detailing.
Experimenting with colour is one of the fun parts of creating your new kitchen. Choosing the correct colour for you and your kitchen can determine weather you like, or love your kitchen.
Texture
When you come to deciding what doors you want, another important influencer is texture. Texture can add depth to your kitchen doors and it's an effective way to add a layered look, that influences other kitchen elements to mix well with one another. When it comes to texture, most of our doors are sleek and glossy or smooth matt finishes. However we do also have the shaker style doors, which offer the layered look to your kitchen design, offering depth and definition.
