If you are looking to improve the look of your kitchen, upgrading the cabinetry would be worth considering. After all, the cabinets add to the visual appeal of the entire space as well as provide vital storage for all your food items and other kitchen essentials.

When choosing a kitchen cabinet, look for timeless styles. To help you, here are the pros and cons of the most popular kitchen cabinet styles.

Glass-Front Cabinets

This cabinet style artfully displays ceramics, glassware and other kitchen essentials while keeping them more protected than open shelves. All cabinet doors don’t need a glass front; you can mix and match it with a flat-front or any other cabinet style. If you are looking to incorporate this into your kitchen design, make sure the cabinets are cleaned regularly and the shelves tidy and clean.

Shaker-Style Cabinets

Known for their distinctive minimalist appearance, Shaker-style kitchen cabinets are characterized by a recessed panel surrounded by vertical and horizontal side pieces called stiles and rails, respectively. They can perfectly complement any kitchen feature. Combining them with granite countertops, for example, helps to achieve a more industrial vibe. The downside, however, involves maintenance; you’ll have to clean it regularly to prevent dirt from collecting around the cabinet door.

Beadboard Cabinets

This cabinet style offers a detailed and textured look, thanks to its construction. It has vertical slats that are fitted into each other. Depending on the finish used, it can add an element of warmth, giving your kitchen a relaxed, cottage-style ambiance. Available in “boards,” you can design the cabinet to have varying widths for a more traditional appearance. The cost, however, depends on the type of wood and construction used. Of course, careful cleaning is imperative as dirt and grime can collect on the grooves.
