New doors, handles and colour for a budget-friendly kitchen refresh.

While costs can vary hugely depending on the size of your space and the quality of the materials used, if you're hoping to achieve a high-end look with bespoke cabinetry and beautiful worktops, a full kitchen renovation can very easily cost upwards of £25,000. But don't panic if you don't have the budget, as there are a variety of smaller changes that you can make to your existing kitchen to give it an entirely new look and feel without stretching your finances to their limits.

Installing new replacement kitchen cabinet doors is one of the simplest and most transformational upgrades you can make, as cabinets occupy quite a large amount of real estate in your space. So, let's see how a new style or a new colour could give your tired looking kitchen an entirely new lease of life.

Replacement Kitchen Cabinet Doors Design Tips

Swap Dated Doors For a Sleek, Handle-less Style

Dated cabinetry often makes a kitchen feel dull and drab, which can really impact the amount of time you want to spend in it. Swapping out dated doors for a sleeker and more contemporary style can genuinely be transformational, helping to open up your kitchen and make it somewhere you actively want to spend time preparing meals and socialising with your loved ones.

Our Bella Knebworth handleless doors have a minimalist look with seamlessly recessed handles that can be customised to suit the orientation of your kitchen. The handleless surface is smooth and contemporary, making it an ideal addition to a streamlined kitchen design.

Sometimes even the smallest touches can make a big difference to the overall style of your space, and if you enjoy unexpected design flourishes, our Bella Integra Handleless doors may be your perfect match, as they feature an angled, centrally positioned handle which offers a retro twist to the design.

Pro Tip: You could choose to amplify the retro qualities of this style by choosing a vintage-inspired colour, such as blush pink or pistachio green, or opt for a more contemporary colourway for a subtler look.

Create a Cottagecore-Inspired Farmhouse Kitchen with Beautiful Wooden Cabinet Doors

Upgrading your kitchen cabinet doors doesn't mean simply selecting the most modern style you can find, as there are plenty of spaces where doing that will create a space that just doesn't feel cohesive or in keeping with the property. If super contemporary styles don't spark joy for you, there are many traditional styles in our range that will help you to create your dream farmhouse, or cottagecore-inspired kitchen space.

Our Bella Canterbury doors are tailor made for you if you're hoping to create a traditional style kitchen that still looks as though it belongs firmly in this century. Taking inspiration from classic design, it has a charming cathedral arch that will give your kitchen an inviting, warm and cosy atmosphere.

Pro Tip: Our Bella Palermo doors are similar in style, but have a more angular design that may better suit your personal style.

Freshen Up a Dark Kitchen with Light Pastel Hues

Dark kitchens can be tricky to design, as they can very easily start to feel a little enclosed if you haven't got your lighting and colour palette quite right. While it can be tempting to default to glossy white cabinetry, there are many more colour options available to you that you may prefer.

Cashmere, blush pink, alabaster, and white-grey are all excellent options for finishes that will really freshen up your kitchen, however, you'll see that each of our doors is available in a wide-ranging selection of colours. To help you decide, we recommend ordering some colour swatch samples to compare and contrast. You can order up to six completely free of charge on our website here.

Embrace Timeless Style with Shaker Style Cabinets

As kitchen trends come and go with increasing speed, it's not easy to find things that you can be certain will continue to look stylish long into the future. Shaker style doors have retained an impressive level of popularity for decades and are an ideal choice if you're keen to create a kitchen that has a contemporary look with a traditional twist.

There are many different styles in our Shaker range, each of which has its own unique details and personality. Our Bella Richmond doors have a central panel and plain drawer front, which offers a classically elegant look that also feels very fresh and modern. Conversely, our Bella Dalton doors have a more minimalist look whilst still retaining the style's classic charm, whereas our Bella Paris doors feature intricate layered panels for a decidedly more traditional look.

Pro Tip: Each of these styles is available in 60 different colours, including high gloss and supermatt finishes. So, you could choose the Bella Paris style in a gloss finish to amplify the traditional meets contemporary look or select a beautiful natural wood finish to really lean into the traditional look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it matter which handles I choose for my new kitchen cabinet doors?

The hardware you choose to adorn your replacement kitchen cabinet doors acts a little like jewellery for your interiors, so it's well worth thinking about which handle styles and colours best suit the vibe you want your kitchen to have. If you're designing a clean and contemporary kitchen, a bar style pull handle in a shiny chrome or stainless steel finish can work really well. However, if you want your kitchen to embrace more traditional design elements, a cup style pull handle in a brass or pewter finish may be a better option.

How much do new kitchen cabinet doors cost?

With prices starting from just £7.56 per door, depending on the style and finish you select, replacing your kitchen doors really can be an affordable upgrade. This means that even the largest kitchens can be made over for just a fraction of the cost of a full renovation project.
