Bespoke Kitchen Door Innovations For 2025

The kitchen is often described as the heart of the home. If yours is in need of some TLC, you might be surprised to learn that simply switching out your cabinet doors can give your space a whole new look and feel. Kitchen design trends evolve quickly, which means that new and exciting innovations in the world of kitchen cabinetry have emerged. So let's look at some of the most interesting trends we've seen for bespoke kitchen doors recently.

An Impressive Variety of Innovative Materials

From super glossy acrylic to matt finishes, bespoke kitchen doors are manufactured from a vast range of different materials, all of which are durable enough to withstand the daily demands of even the busiest home kitchens.

Thinking about the materials that have been used can help you to make the right choice for your home. For example, our Bella Ora doors are made from a lacquered chipboard core, which has been given a stain resistant and antibacterial treatment that's particularly suitable for families with young children.

Pro Tip: We've made sure our product descriptions contain plenty of important information regarding the materials used during the manufacturing process of our doors. Please do contact us with any questions you may have about these materials or our manufacturing processes, as we're always on hand to help.

Textured Finishes Offer a Tactile Element to Contemporary Kitchens

The texture you choose for your kitchen can have a huge impact on the way your room feels, so considering all your options when making your decision will always pay off in the long run.

To get an idea of the variety of textured finishes you can choose from, take a look at our Valore slab style kitchen doors, which come in a number of stone, slate and wood effect finishes. The oxide artstone and ossidio grigio artstone are excellent options for a cool, contemporary kitchen featuring lots of clean lines and a minimalist inspired essence. Conversely, natural chalet oak or driftwood light grey are ideal choices for a beach or coastal inspired kitchen, which celebrates fresh hues and plenty of natural materials.

Create Interest With Mixed Styles and Materials

If the idea of choosing kitchen cabinets in just one style or finish feels a little restrictive, it's worth considering using this as an opportunity to create more visual interest by combining several different styles or colours into your design.

When incorporating different coloured cabinets into a kitchen, it's often best to keep things simple to ensure that your space still has a sense of cohesion. A subtle antique white or gentle cashmere tone can pair beautifully with a slightly deeper neutral tone or with a rich, statement colour such as indigo blue or rusty red, so you can let your creativity shine through here.

If you're keen to experiment with different styles of kitchen cupboard doors, a panelled Shaker style door can be paired with handleless cabinets with a discreet J-groove handle to great effect because they each bring their own unique qualities to a traditional-meets-contemporary space.

Glass Panels Are Back in Style

While glass panels in kitchen doors once felt somewhat dated, they're now firmly back in style and primed to take your kitchen design to the next level. From creating a sense of airiness with their light-reflecting properties to enabling you to make a real feature out of some of your favourite ceramics or glassware, incorporating cabinets with glass panels into your design can create that extra layer of interest that ensures your kitchen will really shine.

With a classic silhouette and elegant panelling that can easily accommodate glass panels, our Bella Richmond Shaker style doors are a great option. Incorporating a couple of glass-fronted doors into your kitchen can be all that's needed to take your design to the next level, and the elongated vertical panel within Bella Richmond doors ensures that everything you choose to display in each cabinet is visible.

Pro Tip: Integrating some LED lighting into your glass-fronted cabinets will establish them as a real feature in your kitchen and provide some subtle mood lighting in the evenings.

Sleek Push-To-Open Doors are Stylish and Functional

Handleless kitchen doors have been popular for many years, as they offer a streamlined look that suits contemporary interiors. Push-to-open mechanisms allow for an even sleeker look and support the optimal functionality of your kitchen.

Many of our slab style doors are suitable for use with push-to-open mechanisms, including our Bella Venice and Valore doors. Both are excellent options if you want to enhance the sense of space in your kitchen. Our Venice and Valore doors each come in numerous different finishes and colours to suit your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bespoke Doors

How do I choose the right style of replacement kitchen doors for my home?

Knowing where to start when it comes to choosing new kitchen doors is often the trickiest part of the entire process. We always recommend looking around for inspiration during the earlier phases of your design process, as this will give you a good idea of what you like and, just as importantly, what you don't like!

We also include real life examples of each of our kitchen doors on our website, which can help you to visualise what they will look like in your own home. So take your time and keep your options open, as this will ensure you ultimately make the right decision for you.

Which finish is right for my new kitchen cabinet doors?

Kitchen doors with a high gloss finish tend to have a more contemporary look and feel than doors with a matt finish; however, there aren't any rigid rules that you have to stick to. We recommend getting some samples of the finishes you're considering, which you can look at in the comfort of your own home to see how they work with the light in your kitchen space.
