Making the decision to renovate your kitchen is an exciting one! It can also be daunting as it comes with many choices along the way. Some of these choices include the layout of the kitchen, the functionality and style or feel you are trying to create, as well as the type of kitchen cabinet design.
According to Forbes, 2024 the most popular kitchen cabinet colour in 2024 was white with the Shaker kitchen cabinet style predicted to continue throughout 2025
Which Kitchen Cabinet to choose?
One of the most fundamental and important decisions to make is the type of kitchen cabinet design to choose.
There is a stunning array of kitchen cabinet designs including the most popular kitchen cabinet designs of Shaker and Hampton cabinet styles.
The Classic Shaker
The Shaker kitchen cabinet is a classic style door that blends traditional with contemporary. It is a thermo or vinyl-wrapped profiled door that creates a smooth finish, with a frame and a single inner panel. The Shaker range comes in a lovely range of colours, and is a cabinet door that doesn’t date and creates a timeless feel.
The luxurious Hampton
Similiarly, the Hampton cabinetry is a vinyl-wrapped door comprising of a recessed cabinet panel that is slightly smaller than the Shaker with a subtle outer edge. This door gives a sophisticated, timeless feel to any kitchen, creating a sense of luxury and comfort that will not date. Both Shaker and Hampton cabinet doors have a smooth, satin finish making them not only visually appealing but also easy to clean.
Modern and contemporary
For a modern or contemporary design the Inspire Plus or Excel laminate ranges are incredibly popular, not just for their visual appeal but also because they are so well-priced and geared to those on a tight budget. They are flat doors with a sleek, matte finish which create a modern, smart look in any kitchen space.
Laminate cabinetry comprises layers of decorative paper bonded with resin. These are then adhered to MDF (medium density fiberboard) under heat and pressure. The result is an extremely durable and tough product that is resistant to scuff marks, scratches and reduces fingerprints.
Gorgeous colours for Shaker, Hampton, and Inspire Plus include: Terrill, Spinifex Green, French Navy, Aries, Crystal White, Parchment and Black, Pewter and Lava.
Add warmth and texture to your kitchen with the Excel range of laminate kitchen cabinets. These wood -grained look laminate doors create an inviting and warm feel. They add an ‘architectural’ feel to your kitchen that can also be paired well with white cabinetry. Urban oak, Rural Oak and Teak finishes can also create a stunning contrast with black or darker coloured cabinetry.
Sophisticated Luxury
For a high grade laminate door that provides a sleek, modern feel the Ultra cabinetry range is perfect. It is super smooth to touch and finger-print free. Whilst it is a little more expensive compared to other laminate cabinetry ranges, it will imbue a quality and luxurious feel to any kitchen. It is currently on-trend and popular in Europe.
