Kitchen Door Styles For a Fresh Update

If you want to give your kitchen a fresh new look for the year ahead, new replacement kitchen doors can give your space an entirely different feel. Whether you want to embrace the hottest new trends or introduce more colour or stylish details into your kitchen, we've put together a selection of eye-catching kitchen cabinet door styles that will give this important area of your home a new lease of life.

Glass-Fronted Kitchen Cabinets

Glass-fronted kitchen cabinets have made a real comeback in recent years and can add a surprisingly contemporary edge to your kitchen. They can also help to break up large areas of cabinetry and enable you to create focal points throughout your space.

Replacing the top panel in our Bella Stratford cabinet doors with glass will offer a glimpse into your cabinets without exposing the contents of the entire cabinet. This means that you can display a curated selection of glassware or ceramics on the top shelf, without needing to commit to carefully styling everything inside.

If you want to incorporate cabinet doors with large glass panels to increase the sense of space in your kitchen and enable you to display your favourite collections whilst protecting them from dust and grease, our Bella Waterford slimline shaker doors could be ideal.

Pro Tip: Installing an LED light into the top of glass-fronted cabinets will both capture the eye's attention and offer some additional ambient light to your space in the evenings.

Contemporary Styles with a Traditional Twist

The juxtaposition of modern and traditional elements creates really interesting designs which have a sense of freshness while still feeling authentic within a period property. There are many different ranges within the Happy Doors collection that feature this old-meets-new aesthetic, including our Bella Carlton doors, which feature subtle curved edges and a framed panel.

Choosing a matt or supermatt finish, particularly in a heritage inspired colour such as rusty red or colonial blue, will amplify the style's traditional qualities. Alternatively, opting for a gloss finish will offer a more contemporary quality, which may be better suited to the overall style you're hoping to achieve. Don't forget that you can order up to six colour swatch samples to compare at your leisure, so you can feel sure that you're making the right choice for your home.

Handleless Kitchen Cabinet Doors

Sleek and sophisticated, handleless cabinet doors don't require additional hardware, as there is typically a concealed j-groove or recessed handle built into the design for easy opening. The integrated handle on our Bella Chelsea doors has a delicately curved design, which can be positioned on the left, right, top or bottom of each door to suit the specific configuration of your kitchen. If you're looking for cabinet doors that have a subtle retro twist, the angled recessed handle on our Bella Integra doors may be ideal.

We also produce handleless doors with understated panelled detailing, which could be the perfect addition to a modern kitchen with hints of traditional design throughout. Our Bella Elland handleless doors are a narrow framed shaker style option with a chic look that will bring a sense of timelessness to your design.

Pro Tip: Handleless kitchen doors that don't have a recessed groove can be installed with a push-to-open mechanism. These mechanisms are supremely functional and ensure that your kitchen always looks sleek and streamlined.

Slab Style Cabinet Doors

Fresh, clean and modern, slab style kitchen cabinet doors have a low–profile look that will bring an element of modernity to your new kitchen. Our Ora slab style doors are an excellent example and can be installed with a push-to-open mechanism or with a sleek handle for a flash of extra detail. The Ora range comes in a select range of finishes, including supermatt blue, supergloss cashmere, and supermatt aquamarine.

If you're looking for slab style doors in finishes that will make a strong impact in your kitchen, you might find exactly what you're looking for in our Valore range. This style is available in 20 different finishes, including many options that offer a beautiful visual texture or patina. Some of our favourite impactful finishes include tigerwood nero, oxide artstone, and marmo patagonia.

Pro Tip: To achieve an ultra-modern look, choose a gloss or ultragoss finish for your new replacement kitchen doors. The light-reflective properties of glossy cabinet doors have an inherently contemporary feel and will help to create an increased sense of space within your kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions About Replacement Kitchen Doors

What hinges do you recommend when installing new kitchen cabinet doors?

We recommend soft close Hettich hinges, as they're well-constructed and will enable you to achieve an excellent fit when installing your new cabinet doors due to the three-way adjustment capabilities. The 165 degree hinge is ideal for corner doors, larger units, and doors that require a wider clearance, whereas the 110 degree hinge is suitable for use on standard cabinet doors.

What are end panels, and will I need them when renovating my kitchen cabinets?

End panels can be fitted to the exposed sides of kitchen cabinets and are designed to ensure your kitchen feels truly complete. If you have any cabinets or a kitchen island with exposed sides, choosing end panels that match your new cabinet doors can be a great way to achieve a cohesive look.

We've made it easy to browse our range of end panels, which come in numerous sizes and styles to match our kitchen doors.

Do you stock kitchen units that will allow me to change the layout of my kitchen?

Yes, we have a variety of base and wall cabinets, including corner units. These cabinets utilise UNICLIC technology, which is a tongue and groove style solution that will allow you to assemble your new units without any screws or tools. So, if you want to change the layout of your kitchen whilst upgrading your cabinet doors, we've got everything you'll need to complete your renovation project.
