Country and Traditional Kitchen Doors

Traditional kitchen cabinet doors continue to be a firm favourite among homeowners, whether for a cottage in the countryside or a newbuild in the suburbs. With a choice of colours, finishes, and accessories, country kitchen doors can be styled in several different ways. If you’re updating an existing kitchen with fresh traditional cabinet doors or completely renovating a space, here are some design tips to consider.

Best colour for traditional kitchens

Neutral colours have long been the go-to hues for country cupboard doors, and while this still provides a great base, homeowners are becoming increasingly braver with their décor. Grey – such as Dove Grey or Slate Grey – is a popular option for traditional kitchen cabinet doors, as is the bolder Midnight Blue.

Best style for traditional kitchen doors

Shaker is typically the best style to opt for when choosing kitchen doors for a country or cottage inspired kitchen. This timeless kitchen door is recognisable by its clean lines made from a central panel and raised rectangular sides.

Best finish for traditional kitchen doors

Cabinet doors typically come in a gloss or matt finish, but traditional kitchen doors usually come in matt. Matt finishes are typically easier to keep clean and give a more subtle look, making it the perfect option for cottage and country kitchen cupboard doors
