Grooved Cabinets
These cabinets help promote an inviting yet masculine feel in the kitchen space. Soft colours and natural materials mix with planked-panels to offer a fresh and rustic feel all in a single cabinet style.
Distressed Cabinets
Distressed or faded cabinets can be ideal for promoting a relaxing and time worn look. Distressed finishes are made laying a light colour tone over a darker tone. The lighter tone is then buffed and scrapped to provide the worn and fading look.
Stained Pine Cabinets
Stained pine cabinets provide a natural and coastal feel. These cabinets can be ideal for kitchens that have large amounts of natural light as well as steel or iron appliances and accents in the space.
Turquoise Cabinets
A white kitchen space can benefit from the fresh turquoise hue. Cabinet boxes, backsplashes or furniture can be the ideal location to offer a punch of colour into your white kitchen.
Raised Cabinets
Raise lower cabinet off the floor for a more efficient, clean and modern look. Raised cabinets don’t allow crumbs to pile up, and the pieces used to raise the cabinetry are great opportunities to use an accent material. For example, rich wooden cabinets raised off the floor with steel posts balance perfectly to create a modern yet warm environment.
Port Hole Cabinets
For boathouses and coastal homes or for homeowners who love travelling and the sea, porthole cabinets can be ideal. Cabinets installed with small portholes help make the space feel like the galley on a boat. This feeling can be further promoted, with coral accent pieces, a kitchen ladder and nautical art.
Mixed Material
When kitchens are largely wood panelled, have wood floors and tan countertops, a more sharp or cool element can be required to complete the space. Consider using steel cabinet drawers, appliances and handles to create a more balanced space.
Wooden Fencing Cabinets
This cabinetry takes the similar ideas proposed by distressed cabinets to a whole new level. Applying paints and scraping techniques that mirror a fading or tattered fence can create a truly relaxed and yet beautiful cabinetry design.
Striated Cabinets
Modern kitchens that still want to feel inviting and natural can consider striated cabinetry. Striated cabinets resemble wood graining though are man-made. These cabinets can look soft and help create a level of warmth, while still promoting a sleek design in the modern space.

Wire brush oak cabinets provide a rich sense of comfort that can work perfectly with more modern and upscale spaces. The oak provides a rustic and comforting feeling, while stone and metallic floors, pieces, and appliances help create the upscale and sleek look in the space.
Chicken Wire Cabinets
Chicken wire works similar to glass panels. The wire replaces the wooden panels to create a more airy and relaxed feel in a rustic kitchen space. As the chicken wire is a barn-item, these cabinets can best suit country or rustic kitchen designs.
Lacquered Cabinets
Kitchens that aim for bold colours can look stunning when lacquered. A lacquered coating creates a high gloss finish in any coloured kitchen cabinet. These kitchens can be energetic, bright and happy.

Glass panels showcase what’s inside the cabinets. This airy design helps display your gorgeous dinnerware or your beautiful martini glasses. LED light strands can be installed to brighten up the interiors of the cabinets and make the contents shine!

Trimmed Cabinets
Trimmed cabinetry helps create a consistent design feel in any kitchen space. A colour trim around a cabinet panel can work in cooperation with similarly coloured backsplashes, furniture or accent pieces to help brand the space.
Embellished Cabinets

White raised cabinetry, with dark hinges can help create a country and rustic feel. While light hinges on grey cabinets help encourage a more natural and sleek design.

Cabinet without handles, hinges or drawer slides are extremely effective in slowing down your kitchen space. Offer hardware free cabinets in a modern space to promote a relaxed feel.

Stainless steel appliances and white countertops can help the natural wood tone pop out. Mahogany cabinets are often used for traditional kitchens and traditional cabinetry.

Glossy Black Cabinets
These cabinets are commonly used with white floors, backsplashes and countertops. This is the ultimate form of cabinetry contrast. White and black blend together to make a statement.
Paneled Cabinets
Cabinets can use two panels in a single cabinet door. This creates a more textured and cosy feel. Panels can be used in any colour scheme and with any wood tone.

Plank cabinetry panels that are frames and light help create a bright, welcoming beachfront feel in any kitchen space. Contrasted with dark cabinet handles or hinges, these cabinets can be truly unique.
Navy Blue Cabinets
Navy blue cabinets are a classical colour. Though when used in flat-panel overhanging cabinets, this colour can work perfectly in a modern kitchen full of metallic appliances.
Weathered Wood Cabinets
In a similar fashion to distressed cabinetry, weathered wood utilises scraping and buffing techniques to create a worn and aged look. Weathered wood, rather than aiming for a tone, provides the distressed look directly into a natural wood tone.
Bright Green Cabinets
Bright green or coloured cabinets are ideal for stone countertops that have multiple colours. For example, a white marbled top, that has hues of green marbling, can use bright green cabinets to help the stone pop.
High Gloss Cabinets
High gloss white cabinets are ideal in white kitchen spaces. Together these can make the brightest and cleanest designs possible. Small colour bursts from chair covers; fruit baskets or candles can easily stand out in the spaces.
Double Duty Cabinets
Cabinet doors can be installed onto the dishwasher and fridge doors. This doubles in getting the most from the overall cabinetry designs and in covering the appliances to make the room feel more like a place of relaxation rather than a workstation.
