Your Guide To Kitchen Cabinets, Cupboards and Drawers

Your choice of kitchen cabinets is so important. They will account for a significant proportion of the cost of your Melbourne kitchen renovation. Plus, the style and finish you choose will have a big impact on the look of your new kitchen.

Quality is crucial and the best combination is well-built cabinetry using the best materials.

You're doing yourself no favours if you opt for one but not the other.

Kitchen cabinets are one those things in life where you really do get what you pay for.

That's just one tip. Check out many more from Rosemount Kitchens in the comprehensive guide below.

Kitchen Cupboards

Cabinet doors, drawers and handles have a strong influence on the look and feel of most kitchens. And they're among the first features people notice.

It's vital to get these aspects just right and, fortunately, you have a wide range of options.

Kitchen Cupboard Doors

Getting the right aesthetic is important.

Sometimes it's pretty straight-forward – for instance, ultra-high gloss, flat, handleless doors are likely to look out of place in a French provincial style kitchen.

Most people have an overall kitchen style in mind, which helps to narrow the range of options and whether or not a profile or flat door is best.

Here are a few common styles.

Flat speaks for itself. There are no door features – it's perfectly flat (which makes it easy to just wipe over with a cloth). The clean, minimalist style makes it a good choice for modern and contemporary kitchens.

Glass-front doors are great for displaying items inside cabinets. They can also be used to add variety to your cabinetry – just one or two glass fronted doors will add interest.

Open shelving – clients seem to love it or hate it. Open shelving is highly functional, as you can see where everything is, but that can also be a drawback for some people.
