Replacing your kitchen cabinets can significantly improve both the appearance and functionality of your cooking space. Selecting the right style can be challenging, however, since there are so many options to choose from. Below are some of the most interesting, practical, and visually attractive cabinet designs on the market to consider.  

3 Suggested Kitchen Cabinet Designs

1. Contemporary 

While traditional cabinets have the benefit of being ornate and elaborate, many homeowners are switching over to sleek and minimalist styles. Options with tight lines and smooth surfaces give the kitchen a clean and modern look.

When choosing a color, go with contemporary hues like gray or white. If you don’t like a painted look, high-gloss cabinets are becoming increasingly popular, as they’re elegant and low maintenance; stains can be easily wiped off.   

2. Traditional Hardwood

Hardwood is strong and sturdy. The natural wood grains of certain species, like oak, can add texture that gives a more traditional look. Whereas the smooth texture of maple wood, when finished with a painted enamel, will suggest a more contemporary feeling. Popular finishes in today’s market include white and contrasting grays.

Ivory and ebony are two of the most traditional and versatile shades. If you’re looking for a soft appearance that offers a bit more verve, try a warm pastel tone like pale pink or sunny yellow. For added visual interest, pick contrasting hardware. Wrought iron hardware can add a touch of old-world elegance, or try painted wooden knobs or handles in shades that match or complement the base. 

3. Transitional 

Transitional kitchen design combines modern and traditional styles into a unique and personalized aesthetic. Typically, the result is clean and functional, with recurring shapes, lines, and patterns.

It often mixes familiar motifs from the past, such as a traditional Shaker cabinet, with more contemporary stylings, such as geometric brass hardware.
