Kitchen Advice
The kitchen is usually one of the busiest spaces in a home, which can make things tricky when it becomes clear that a design makeover is needed to enhance both its appearance and its functionality. Although it can be tempting to start anew with a clean slate, often making a few smaller changes is all that is required to transform your family kitchen completely.
If most of your cabinets are in good condition, replacement kitchen cabinet doors can instantly refresh your kitchen and give it a sense of newness. So, with this in mind, let's look at some of the benefits you can look forward to experiencing when purchasing replacement kitchen cabinet doors rather than ripping everything out and starting from scratch.
Give Your Kitchen An Entirely New Look On A Budget
Whether you appreciate traditional kitchen design or you're hoping to achieve a more contemporary look, there are plenty of kitchen cabinet doors in our collection that will suit your space.
Slab style doors, such as our Bella Venice or Valore doors, have a clean, simple and sophisticated silhouette, which will enable you to create a kitchen that flows well and feels spacious. Choosing a light colour and/or a light-reflecting finish will amplify the contemporary qualities of these styles, however you could also play with expectations here and choose a richer tone in a matt finish to bring a modern-meets-traditional look to your kitchen.
For those looking for characterful kitchen doors, our panelled Bella Stratford or Wilton Woodgrain Shaker doors feature traditional design elements in ways that still feel aligned with modern life. Again, these styles are available in a range of different finishes, including elegant neutrals, grounding earth tones, and more dramatic jewel colours.
It's An Achievable Do It Yourself Project
If you're keen to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in but perhaps don't have a large catalogue of existing DIY skills to draw upon, replacing kitchen cabinet doors is a straightforward project that will provide you with a deep sense of accomplishment.
If you provide us with hinge hole measurements during the ordering process, all you'll need is a screwdriver to install your new doors once they are delivered. We've put together a short 4-step installation guide that will help you have your new doors installed in no time! However, if you want to leave it to the professionals, they're certain to make light work of the task so you can start enjoying your new kitchen ASAP.
Continue Using Your Kitchen During The Makeover
Full kitchen renovations are costly, time-consuming and disruptive. Living in a property without a functioning kitchen is hugely challenging, particularly if you have a young family. By taking on a handful of smaller makeover projects, such as replacing your cabinet doors, you will be able to continue using your kitchen daily and ensure minimal disruption to your daily lives.
Achieve A Seamless Finish With Co-Ordinated Accessories
If you also want to take the opportunity to refresh the layout of your cabinets, we stock a range of high quality base and wall kitchen units that will enable you to improve the flow of your kitchen with ease.
Our range of kitchen door accessories also includes plinths, end panels, edging tape and capping rails, all of which are designed to help you achieve a professional and high-end finish. End panels are one of the most transformative accessories in our range, as these are designed to cover any exposed cabinets and allow you to ensure your kitchen looks and feels truly complete.
Pro Tip: Our accessories are categorised by range, so whether you've selected Bella, Zurfiz or Valore doors, you'll find it easy to find coordinating accessories to achieve a beautiful finish.

Many of our styles cost under £8 per door, which means that you could transform your entire kitchen on a budget and still achieve a beautiful, high end result.

Should I choose a matt or gloss finish if I want my new kitchen cabinet doors to last?
All of our doors are designed with longevity in mind, so whether you choose a matt or a gloss finish, you can expect to continue enjoying your new kitchen for many years to come.
Pro Tip: It is worth keeping in mind that while gloss doors are easy to clean with a soft cloth, their light-reflecting finish does mean that fingerprints can be more visible, which may be a dealbreaker for some.
Are traditional style kitchen doors dated in 2026?
No, kitchen cabinet doors with traditional design elements can make a stylish and characterful impression in a contemporary property. Shaker style doors have remained popular for decades and will continue to be popular amongst homeowners for a long time to come. Many Shaker style doors also have contemporary qualities, such as clean lines and understated profiles, which offer plenty of versatility and character.
