Sleek Door Designs for Warm and Minimal Kitchens

Calm and clutter-free, minimal kitchens feel like a breath of fresh air and provide a functional space in which to relax, prepare meals and interact with your loved ones. As well as featuring plenty of clean lines, considered lighting and concealed appliances, minimal kitchens also feature sleek cabinets that help to create a serene and functional space.

The Qualities of Minimalist Inspired Kitchen Cabinets

Cabinetry in minimal kitchen designs often has a very simple form and either features understated hardware or is handleless in style, which contributes to a feeling of an open and unfussy space. Neutral or light earthy tones are often popular, particularly in rooms with a smaller footprint, however, deeper colours can also be used to bring contrast and warmth to a space.

As cabinets are one of the main features in a minimal kitchen, they should always be well-constructed from high quality and durable materials. Here at Happy Doors, we specialise in high quality made to measure kitchen doors and here are some of our favourite styles that can offer a warmth and sophistication to your minimal kitchen.

Bella Venice Kitchen Doors

The sleek and sophisticated slab style Bella Venice doors have the ability to enhance the spaciousness and brightness of any contemporary kitchen. Simple and understated, this style has a clean, considered and refined appearance that will continue to look stylish and on-trend long into the future.

For optimal longevity and brightness, choose a light toned or neutral colour that can be easily enhanced with a few carefully considered accessories. It's also a style that looks beautiful in a wood effect finish, such as Halifax natural oak, which will offer a hint of Scandinavian chic to your space.

Ora Slab Doors

Cool and contemporary, our Ora slab doors have a delicate soft touch finish which is stain-resistant and contains an antibacterial treatment, making this an ideal style for busy modern kitchens.

Available in both supergloss and supermatt finishes, there are both neutral and earthy colours available, including the beautiful and slightly unusual agave green and aquamarine colourways. This style proves that you don't need to be the loudest feature in the room to command attention and admiration.

Jayline Handleless Doors

An ideal example of full wrap doors with J-pull handles, our Jayline made to measure kitchen doors are available in 11 different gloss and matt colourways, all of which feature a matching melamine reverse and continuous laminate across the face and top edge. This offers a seamless look, which is ideally suited to a minimal kitchen design.

If you love neutral colours, there are both light and deep tones to consider here, including cashmere, dust grey, and graphite. These hues will work beautifully within a minimal kitchen, offering a sense of refined style that doesn't need to shout to successfully capture the eye's attention.

Zurfiz Gloss Doors With a Glass Effect Edge

The high gloss finish of our Zurfiz doors are tailormade for contemporary, minimalist kitchens as they're adept at reflecting light and creating a sense of spaciousness in a room. Glacier white or black are striking monochromatic colour options to consider, however, this is a style that also provides an ideal opportunity to incorporate a flash of colour or visual texture into your design, with the baltic blue, limestone or copperleaf finishes.

Pro Tip: The Zurfiz range is PEFCTM and FSC certified, making this style an ideal addition to an eco-conscious kitchen design.

Bella Lincoln Kitchen Doors

Our Bella Lincoln doors are clean, fresh and modern, with a unique bevelled edge which offers some extra interest and style. Ideally suited to highly contemporary kitchens and those who are looking for a timeless style with a slight twist, as part of the Bella range, you will find many different finishes to choose from.

Pro Tip: A high gloss white gives a crispness to this style, which emphasises the gentle curve of the bevelled edges and suits the minimal style perfectly.

Bella Integra Handleless Doors

Proving that minimal styles can also feature unexpected design flourishes, our Bella Integra Handleless doors feature an integrated centrally-positioned handle which offers a sleek look with a retro twist. The blend of contemporary and classic styles means that this style is extremely versatile and looks striking in a variety of different finishes.

To amplify the retro flourishes, choose a blush pink or pistachio green colour and incorporate a touch of fun into your kitchen design. Alternatively, choosing a deep indigo blue, black or graphite finish will allow you to emphasise the contemporary silhouette and form of this style, which is perfect for a highly modern kitchen design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a supergloss and a supermatt finish?

Gloss doors have light-reflecting properties and a wipe clean finish that has an inherently modern look and feel. Importantly, though, gloss doors can be used to great effect in both modern and more traditional design schemes.

Matt finishes have a flatter look, which can offer some additional versatility that allows this type of finish to make the right impression in a wide range of kitchen designs. Choosing between gloss and matt finishes can be tricky, so we recommend thinking very carefully about the personality and character you want your space to have.

Do Happy Doors provide colour swatch samples?

We completely understand that choosing a colourway for your new kitchen doors isn't always a particularly easy task, especially when you're browsing online. This is why you can order up to six colour swatch samples from our website completely free of charge, which you can then compare in your own time.

Will blush pink kitchen cabinets go out of style soon?

Blush pink kitchens have been having a moment recently, but this doesn't mean they're going to become unfashionable anytime soon. This gentle colour can bring calmness and serenity to a kitchen, while also offering some personality and character.
