Modern and Contemporary Kitchen Door Designs
Whether bold colours, clean lines, or a gloss finish, there are all kinds of options when it comes to modern kitchen doors to achieve a contemporary style at home. Here we explain some of the latest trends in modern cupboard doors and how to design the perfect contemporary kitchen.
Best colour for modern kitchens
Modern cupboard doors come in all kinds of colours, but bright white can make a big statement. White contemporary kitchen doors can be teamed with white and black flooring, worktops and splashbacks for a monochrome appearance, or splashes of brighter hues can make the units stand out. Alternatively, you could mix neutral modern cabinet doors with natural materials such as wood for a ‘Japandi’ – a hybrid of Japanese and Scandinavian design – style, or go for dark grey or midnight blue teamed with black or anthracite fittings for the industrial trend.
Best style for modern kitchen doors
J-pull doors are perfect for contemporary kitchens. The handle-less modern cupboard door offers unbroken, clean lines for chic, understated style. Alternatively, a slab door is a more contemporary take on the traditional shaker style kitchen door. The smooth, sleek finish is versatile and can be used with a whole host of fittings and accessories.
Best finish for modern kitchen doors
Contemporary kitchen cupboard doors can come in a choice of gloss or matt finishes. But for the ultimate modern kitchen, we recommend gloss doors – particularly in an Ice White colour.
Best features for modern kitchens
Open plan kitchen-diners with a central island are a popular choice for homeowners who like to socialise. Make your island stand out with contrasting coloured contemporary cupboard doors. Also consider what you’ll use the island for. Whether food preparation and cooking, or sitting to eat or work, you can choose the right accessories and appliances to meet your needs.
