The cabinets are the face of your whole kitchen design. Their design reflects the theme and style of your whole space, so you need to be extremely careful with your selections in this particular area. Even the smallest addition can have a lot of impact on the overall space, so here are 5 things you can do to enhance your kitchen cabinets:
1. Add colour diversity

The colour selection is always something that sets the mood of a space, and that’s the same for kitchen cabinets. Choosing a single hue for both the over and under cabinets is so 90s. These days, you can introduce a much needed dichotomy within this element by choosing two different colours for the top and bottom cabinets. They can add contrast and interest in the ambiance at the same time.
2. Be picky with your materials

While choosing the colour scheme for your kitchen cabinets is hard, picking out the right materials to articulate it can be even more challenging. What if the colour doesn’t come out the way you want it to through the material? It can be an absolute nightmare. Therefore, you need to do an extensive survey of the market before choosing the final material application for your cabinets.
3. The evolution of top cabinets

You may see only smooth carpentry on the outside, but the interior of your top cabinets is complicated. It has to accommodate the hood as well as the ventilation and exhaust pipes that come with the older ones. Their height has evolved – now they span all the way to the ceiling instead of just stopping two feet below the slab height. This adds a lot of storage space to the newer versions.
4. Knobs and handles

Even something as small as the knob or handle of your cabinets can have a lot of impact on its overall aesthetic. Experienced designers are good at creating interesting combinations of laminated cabinets with vintage knobs. But most of the time, stainless steel pieces are used as a universal selection.
5. Toe-kicks and backsplash lighting

Under-cabinet lights on the top shelves and toe-kicks on the bottom shelves are a great way to functionally glamorize the whole kitchen look. These lights are recessed, which makes them feel absolutely elegant in an understated but luxurious way.
