Getting to design and plan your kitchen extension is fascinating. There are many things to think about and decide on, and whilst some of these things may be a big decision, others might not seem quite as important. 

Kitchen cabinet doors may seem like a more minor than vital decision to make, but when you take the time to think about it, you will learn that this is far more pivotal to your kitchen’s overall look and feel than you may realise.

To help you make sure that your kitchen is exactly what you want it to be, we have put together our guide to choosing your kitchen doors for your new extension and what to look out for.

What are the main types of door available for my kitchen?

The best place to start is by considering what the main styles of kitchen cabinet doors are. These include recessed panels, raised panels and either flat or slab panels.

Each style is unique and can transform the entire look of your kitchen extension to create a specific look and feel that you want to achieve. 

Raised panels are usually seen in the more traditional styled kitchen, whilst recessed panel doors will suit shaker style kitchens. 

Think about colours and finish

Once you know which cabinet door style you want to have installed in your kitchen, you need to start thinking about your doors’ colour and finish. 

If you want something natural and more traditional in its look, then you may want to consider natural wood colours with woodgrain style. However, if you’re going to spice things up a bit in your kitchen (aside from creating delicious recipes, of course), then you may want to think about choosing doors that are in brighter, more eye-catching shades. 

One popular choice that many people are making is kitchen cabinet doors that have a glossy finish. These are not only modern, but they also help to open up and illuminate the space in your kitchen, which is always a good idea to try and embrace as much as you can. 

Do you want it to be coordinated or a colour clash?

When you are choosing the colour of your kitchen door, you need to think about whether or not you want a shade that is going to coordinate with the décor that you have already put in place for your new extension, or if you want to use colours that clash and make for a bold impact then you can. 

The great thing about your kitchen extension is that it is your space, so you can do whatever you want with it. So long as it is functional and can deliver what you need it to, be that in space or functionality, you have created the perfect kitchen and extension for your home. 

Now you just need to think about your gadgets and the appliances you need in your home, too; then, you are all set to create an extension that will be the perfect kitchen for you and your family.
