Modern or Traditional Kitchen Cabinets?

The two ‘major styles’ that differentiate the different styles of kitchen cabinets that are available are modern and traditional. We have summarised both of these styles below:

Modern Kitchen Cabinets – seek to move away from the ‘traditional’ smooth wood or other typical styles that you would expect to see in older kitchens. Expect cabinets with hidden handles, cabinets that are used in conjunction with integrated appliances and sleek designs.

Traditional Kitchen Cabinets – Both styles tend to come in and out of fashion but traditional kitchens will always provide a sense of grandeur to your home. For these kitchen cabinets, expect traditional wood finishes and elegant handles as these designs are a homage to the past. There are also some styles that are a hybrid of both major styles which we will cover below.

Traditional Shaker Kitchen Cabinets

Arguably one of the most popular kitchen and kitchen cabinet styles available – shaker-style cabinets have stayed in fashion, unlike other ‘traditional kitchen styles.’ They are such a versatile style that can be combined with other kitchen features to create a range of different aesthetics. As they are highly popular – there’s also a wide range of cabinets available so you have a range of options to choose from. It’s just important to bear in mind that these cabinets have a handle area that will need to be cleaned fairly frequently.

Natural Wood Kitchen Cabinets

Natural wood has made a comeback with rustic and traditional kitchens regaining a lot of their popularity. A few decades ago, traditional kitchens were king and these kitchens featured a number of elegant wood finishes to create the ‘rustic’ aesthetic. However modern kitchens have definitely taken over in recent years – especially as appliances evolve and the Smart Kitchen is becoming more and more popular. 

You can opt for natural wood and even unfinished wood cabinets. Just ensure that you have the correct ventilation in your kitchen as wood is highly susceptible to rot and other issues if not treated. If you treat the wood yourself or purchase treated cabinets – wood is a fantastic look for your home.

Modern Kitchen Cabinets

Modern kitchen cabinets may consist of designs such as modern matt, handless designs or modern gloss. There are a range of modern kitchen cabinets that are available that are perfectly suited to match the modern aesthetic of handless and sleek design styles. If you are looking for a sophisticated yet simple kitchen design – the modern route is perfect for you.

(Stock) Fitted Cabinets or Custom Cabinets?

You have the option to select custom cabinets that have been designed and crafted specifically for your kitchen space as well as fitted cabinets that are part of a fitted kitchen. Both have their advantages – with fitted kitchens providing a wonderful overall aesthetic in terms of design as well as custom cabinets allowing greater control of the overall style of your kitchen. There are a number of different options available to suit you!
