Kitchen Cabinet Design Ideas for Every Home

How you use your home and the feelings that you want to surround you there can dictate the kitchen cabinet design you choose. As you get started reimagining the space, here’s a look at some of the most stylish designs our team is using right now.

1. Two Tone Cabinets

Give your kitchen character and distinction with a two-tone design. This also lets your personality shine through a bit more as it can open up more colors that you might not go with if you were to use only one color for your cabinets.

The way two tone cabinets work is they pair a darker color for the lower cabinets with a lighter color for the upper cabinets. Some colors that homeowners use in this format include:

The contrast between the darker lower cabinets and the lighter upper cabinets give the area contrast while still creating a harmonious feel.

Varying the colors in this way can also help define the zones in your kitchen, such as the prep zone of the island versus the cozy coffee nook in the corner.

2. Natural Wood

Inviting nature and its elements into your kitchen with natural wood cabinets has been growing in popularity. Think earthy, organic and warm touches that offer the kitchen a modern, neutral appearance when you go with white oak.

Alternatively, you can be more bold when selecting walnut or cherry woods to make more of a craftsman kitchen.

This cabinet style pairs well with stone accents and metal hardware as you allow natural elements to take over in your kitchen. You’ll never regret the natural warmth that wood-forward designs bring to your kitchen and home.

3. Statement Colors

If you’re looking for a bold kitchen design, go with jewel tones, such as deep burgundy, forest green or navy blue. These cabinet colors are best used in larger kitchens as the deepness can make small kitchens feel smaller. In large spaces, they can add drama to the space.

If you aren’t the type of person who enjoys such boldness everywhere, consider doing a bold island while allowing the rest of your cabinets to remain a neutral color. Or, you could include bold colors around large appliances to make them stand out.

4. Open Shelves or Glass-fronted Cabinets

When your dinnerware is worth showing off, include some open shelving or glass-front cabinets in your kitchen design. This can also create a more open and airy feel to a kitchen. Consider using it in smaller kitchens to make the space feel larger.

Some homeowners like this open design to show off cookbooks, servingware ware or curated groupings, such as a coffee mug collection.

It’s best to pair open shelves with concealed cabinetry to still make for a tidy appearance. Include interior cabinet lighting to illuminate your items and displays.

A common place to put exposed cabinets or shelves is above the sink or range. These cabinets tend to be used less and not pull the eye away from other kitchen elements for long since they are up high and out of the way.

5. Stone-front Cabinet Doors

Wrap your cabinetry in stone for the ultimate luxe appearance. Adding stone to cabinet panels and islands can elevate your kitchen for the ultimate design.

But don’t worry, these doors don’t have to be solid stone and heavy. Often, these are marble or granite veneers, offering durability and lightweight designs that won’t put stress or strain on your cabinets.

6. Tall Cabinets

Not only will cabinets that reach to the ceiling offer the most storage space for your needs, but it gives you a seamless appearance. Plus, taller cabinets make it easier to store tall items, such as small kitchen appliances, like stand mixers, food processors, etc. 

If you’re worried about needing a stool to reach the top shelf of your cabinets when they reach to the ceiling, incorporate pull-down shelves for easy access.

Add crown molding to the upper cabinets to enhance the aesthetic and avoid making the upper cabinets from looking tall and awkward. 

7. Functional Interiors

As you explore kitchen cabinet ideas, don’t forget to consider the inside design as well. While a stunning exterior will set the tone for the kitchen, the interior is where the function comes in. Some elements that make the cabinets more functional include:

Custom cabinets designed by Mastery Cabinetry will offer your home the ultimate function while giving your home the timeless or modern appearance that best matches your style.
