Coordinated Cabinetry for a Unified Kitchen

When there's a common design thread throughout every element in your kitchen, your space will immediately feel cohesive and tell a very clear design story. Everything from your wall colour to your tiles, flooring and cabinetry has a role to play in the creation of a seamless design, so it really does pay to take your time to create a thoughtful plan before diving into any renovation project.

Here we explore some of our favourite and most popular custom kitchen doors, highlighting how they can play a central role in the creation of a unified design that perfectly suits you and your property.

Our Most Popular Custom Kitchen Door Styles

Modern Minimalism

Led by a 'less is more' philosophy, modern minimalism celebrates clean lines, supreme functionality and clutter-free spaces. Slab and handleless cabinet doors with simple silhouettes perfectly suit this design style, as they offer a continuous and unbroken appearance that can make a room feel more open and spacious.

Our Bella Venice slab doors are popular for their ability to enhance the spaciousness and brightness of any kitchen space, especially in a light neutral finish such as antique white, cashmere or white. Our Jayline handleless doors are another beautiful option, as this full-wrap style has sleek J-Pull concealed handles and comes in a variety of neutral finishes.

Pro Tip: Keep your appliances concealed behind streamlined cabinetry to avoid breaking up your space and disrupting the seamless flow that modern minimalism offers.

Farmhouse Chic

If your property is older or you prefer kitchens that have more of a rustic feel, modern farmhouse chic could be your ideal design style. Look for custom kitchen doors with both clean lines and traditional details, which are ideal for modern living but offer an added layer of charm and personality.

Featuring tongue and groove inspired detailing and a smart curved arch, our Bella Westbury cabinet doors embody farmhouse chic in a way that doesn't feel dated, heavy or clunky. This style looks beautiful in a variety of wood inspired finishes with pewter handles, which lean into the traditional look.

Pro Tip: If you're looking for cabinetry that offers an element of colour into your kitchen, warm neutrals or earthy tones, such as fir green or rusty red, can bring warmth in a way that feels fresh but doesn't detract from the traditional feel of the design.

Old-Meets-New Style

Offering the perfect balance between contemporary and traditional, Shaker kitchen doors provide a timeless look that never goes out of style. Classic Shaker doors have a stylish wooden frame and recessed central panel, however we've got a variety of options with simpler and more intricate details, which highlights the variety and versatility of this style.

In smaller kitchens, our Waterford slimline shaker doors can be ideal as they have narrower stiles that suit the proportions of more compact rooms without compromising on any of the details that give this style its sense of timeless elegance.

Our Bella Dalton doors offer a contemporary minimalist twist on the Shaker style, with a narrow groove separating the frame from the sleek central panel. Whereas our Bella Helmsley doors feature a mock inframe design, which offers an extra sense of depth and dimension in a way that still feels very elegant.

Quirky And Impactful

If you want to make a style statement, whether subtly or more overtly, there are many doors in the Happy Doors range that can offer a quirky, impactful or unexpected element.

Our Bella Segreto kitchen doors feature an integrated brushed nickel or dark brushed steel handle, which has angled sides for a crisp and contemporary look. Our Bella Austin doors sit on the other end of the scale, with a tongue and groove style that has a very unique and impactful aesthetic. While very different, both have a real presence and personality that'll help to establish the overall vibe of your kitchen space instantly.

Vintage Chic

Our Bella Integra handleless doors have an angled recessed handle, which offers a slight retro twist on an otherwise contemporary style. You can really lean into the retro vibes here by choosing a dusky pink, pistachio green or Scandinavian blue finish, which has a fun vintage ice cream parlour feel, or instead amplify the contemporary elements by choosing a modern dove grey or cashmere finish.

Another way to incorporate vintage style into your kitchen is to choose a finish with a shabby chic vibe. The natural chalet oak finish available as part of our Valore collection is a great example of how a slightly washed out and beautifully textured finish can bring a healthy serving of personality to your kitchen with ease.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I take accurate measurements for new kitchen cabinet doors?

Measuring for new kitchen cabinet doors is really simple and all you'll need is a tape measure. Simply measure from top to bottom and left to right on the reverse of each cabinet door to obtain your length and width measurements.

We recommend measuring twice for accuracy but if you're not confident about getting this step right, you might be interested in our Happy Care add-on policy, which protects you from small measurement mishaps.

Do I need special hinges to install my new Happy Doors kitchen cabinet doors?

We recommend choosing high-quality hinges when installing your new cabinet doors, as this will guarantee a premium experience and can make the installation process much simpler. Our Hettich hinges have a soft-close mechanism, which prevents slamming, as well as 3-way adjustment that will help you to achieve a perfect finish.

Yes, you can order up to six free colour swatch samples to help you find the right colour for you. Colour swatches take the guesswork out of the decision making process, as you'll get to see how each option looks in your own space and under different lighting conditions.
