How Made-To-Measure Doors Maximise Space And Minimise Clutter

As one of the central and most-used living areas within a home, a thoughtfully designed and well-fitted kitchen has the potential to add both the wow factor and value to your property. There are many different design elements that contribute to a high-quality finish, including tiling, flooring and cabinetry. However, this certainly doesn't mean that you need to rip everything out and start from scratch in order to achieve the best possible outcomes.

In fact, if the layout and structural integrity of your existing cabinets is good, simply installing made to measure kitchen doors is a cost-effective way to upgrade your cabinetry and achieve a high-end, seamless look. So let's explore some of the benefits of selecting new, quality doors for your cabinets and look at a few styles that you might want to consider to maximise space and minimise visual clutter.

Achieve a Perfect Fit With Made To Measure Kitchen Cabinet Doors

Choosing fully bespoke doors that are precision cut to your exacting measurements will help you to ensure a perfect fit, which gives a professional finish that looks and feels expensive. Taking measurements for your new doors is a simpler process than you might imagine, as all you'll need is a tape measure and somewhere to note down the measurements you take.

If you also choose to provide us with hinge hole placement measurements, we'll pre-drill the holes to ensure that your installation process is as simple as possible. For more information about measuring, you can follow our simple step-by-step guide here.

Pro Tip: Made to measure kitchen doors can also be tailored to suit non-standard cabinet sizes, ensuring that all kitchens can benefit from the transformational results new doors can bring to a space.

Create the Illusion of More Space with Seamless Slab Style Doors

Whether you're working with a relatively small kitchen or you just love rooms that have a feeling of space and airiness, choosing slab style doors in a light-reflecting finish can give your room a freshness that it was perhaps missing previously.

Our Bella Venice doors are a popular option amongst homeowners who want to design a kitchen that feels spacious and bright, which can give a kitchen a sense of energy and dynamism. As part of our Bella collection, our Venice doors are available in a variety of light-reflecting gloss finishes, including brightening tones such as cashmere and ivory.

Pro Tip: If high gloss finishes aren't to your taste, choosing a satin finish can also offer light-reflecting qualities in a more subtle and understated way, which may be better suited to your property.

Minimise Visual Clutter with Custom Storage Solutions

Whether your kitchen is an unusual shape or you're eager to utilise your available floor space in unexpected ways, custom cabinetry can enable you to achieve a layout that works better for you than an off-the-shelf kitchen design.

Custom storage solutions will ensure that there aren't any awkward gaps anywhere in your kitchen, which will give your space the level of finish that can generally only be achieved with a designer's touch. As you'll have full control over every element, you can design storage that will help you to keep visual clutter to an absolute minimum, which is essential if you're hoping to achieve a high quality, minimalist inspired space. This means you can play around with incorporating organisational features such as pull-out organisers and corner cabinets, which utilise every millimetre of available space.

Handleless kitchen doors can also help to achieve a streamlined look, as there's no need to incorporate handles, which can impact the overall flow of your design. Our Jayline Handleless doors are an ideal option here, as they're leading the way when it comes to the future of J-pull style doors. This full wrap style comes with a continuous top edge and face laminate, with a high end look that's certain to make an impression in any modern kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose handleless or slab style doors for my seamless kitchen design?

As both styles can effortlessly contribute to the sense of spaciousness that is felt every time you step into your kitchen, slab style or handleless doors would both be excellent additions to a seamless kitchen design.

Handleless doors feature discreet recessed grooves perfectly sized for fingers, which often adds a small additional design flourish. The key here is to choose the style that appeals to you, as they'll both hit the mark in terms of both style and functionality.

How do I choose the right neutral colour for my kitchen cabinetry?

When it comes to incorporating colour into any room in our homes, it's so important that the hues and tones you select speak to you. The reason for this is that colour is so intensely personal, and the wrong shade can easily make a room feel disjointed or unappealing.

Neutral tones can help to make a kitchen feel larger; however, it's really important to consider whether a cool or warm-toned neutral is better suited to your space. Generally, warm tones will amplify the feeling of comfort and cosiness; however, mixing and matching different neutrals can also bring depth and interest to your design.

Are gloss or matt kitchen cupboard doors better in a minimalist inspired design?

Both glossy and matte finishes can suit a minimalist kitchen; however, they have very distinct aesthetics. Gloss cabinetry often feels more contemporary, which can suit minimalist inspired kitchens in modern homes. Matt cabinetry has a softer look, which can increase the sense of comfort you feel in your kitchen and is often better suited to minimal spaces with a more traditional feel.
