Kitchen cabinetry plays a major role in the functionality and overall appearance of your kitchen. Outdated cabinets can drag down your kitchen’s whole aesthetic, while carefully crafted and finished cabinets can elevate it to new heights.
Whether you are looking into new cabinets or cabinet refinishing, you could go in many different directions. There is a whole world of possibilities, so here are a handful of creative kitchen cabinetry ideas just to get you thinking:
- Cabinet Pulls – The easiest way to give your kitchen cabinetry some extra flair is to use unconventional hardware. Lots of kitchen cabinets have knobs, but cabinet pulls made from a beautiful metal or that have a unique shape can make your kitchen cabinetry more visually interesting and sophisticated.
- Glass Cabinets – You might need lots of storage space in your kitchen, which means you will probably have a lot of cabinets. Too many cabinets can be bulky and make your kitchen feel heavy or cramped, but glass cabinet doors can help to break them up visually without sacrificing storage space.
- Two-Toned Cabinets – Your cabinets don’t all have to be the same color. The effect is similar to glass cabinet doors; you can break up your cabinets visually by using two different paint colors for your cabinets. You might try a bold or dark color for the bottom cabinets near the floor and white or a light color for the top kitchen cabinetry for a natural-looking balance.
- Skirted Cabinets – An easy way to be creative with your cabinets is to use a curtain instead of a wooden door for some of them. This is most common for lower kitchen cabinetry, such as under the sink or around your island.
