Replacement Cabinet Doors Kitchen Design Tips

Design a layout that works for you 

As your cooker, your sink and your fridge are all essential to preparing food, it’s really important that they’re all easily accessible. Many kitchens utilise the kitchen work triangle methodology, however we always recommend prioritising a layout that works for you. 

This may mean incorporating your cooker into an island to boost the social aspect of your space or tucking your fridge into a recessed area for a streamlined look and feel. Don’t forget that clever cabinetry and chic replacement cabinet doors can help you to create a kitchen that looks sleek and sophisticated, regardless of the layout you choose.

Pro Tip: Spend some time moving around your space to determine how to design a layout that prioritises your comfort and keeps stretching and bending to a minimum.

Consider integrating your appliances 

Integrated appliances have a sleek and streamlined look, which can elevate the experiences you have in your kitchen and make it easier to clean. Whether it’s a double oven, a slim induction hob integrated into a kitchen island or a hot water tap, it’s always worth investing in the appliances that will make preparing food easier and more streamlined. 

If you love to entertain, an integrated wine fridge could be the perfect addition to your space. However, don’t get caught up in thoughts about what your kitchen ‘should’ have and instead focus on the things that will have a positive impact on your everyday interactions with your space.

Incorporate functional storage solutions that suit you 

Storage is vital to keeping clutter at bay, so it’s worth spending a bit of time designing solutions that work for you and your space. Bespoke cabinets fitted with beautiful replacement cabinet doors that match the rest of your kitchen can provide precisely the right amount of storage and create a streamlined look and feel.
