Kitchen Cabinet Door Design and Decoration

If you are planning to decorate the door. There are several ways to go about decorating your cabinet doors, and we have listed them for you below:
  • Wood veneer - Many people will decide to use wood veneer not only for cabinet doors, but also for the sides of your kitchen cabinet box. You can then stain it to match each other. Wood veneer is a thin piece of solid wood that is typically applied to plywood or particleboard with glue to give it strength. It cost less than solid wood, its uniform in finish and its grain very consistent. Using wood veneer in cabinet doors provides constancy by minimizing its shrinking and expansion in climate changes which ultimately eliminates cracking and splitting.
  • Stain - A great way to enhance, and add color to natural wood cabinets.
  • Paint - If you decide to paint your cabinet doors, you have an array of colors to choose from. Painting also allows you to be creative and make unique effects. It can be made to look smooth, glossy, or utensils can be used to give it a special texture. Keep in mind, however, that paint will eventually reveal hairline cracks at the joints of solid wood cabinets doors. These cracks are formed when the wood expands and contracts.
  • Plastic Laminate - Plastic laminate is another great way to decorate your cabinet doors. It is available in all kinds of colors, patterns, and textures. Many prefer to use plastic laminate because it is very resilient, stain-resistant, and easy to clean. Plastic laminates can be decorated with a stainless steel, brass, or wood trim or you can pay more for solid-color laminate.
  • Polyester - Polyester can be used on cabinets in a similar fashion as paint. However, it is definitely more expensive than paint and requires much more time and effort to achieve your desired results. It can be either glossy or matte finish. The final results are often appreciated more so than paint finish because polyester fills the pores of the cabinet door giving it a solid look and feel.
  • Stainless Steel - Stainless steel can bring a very sleek look to your kitchen. Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and staining, low maintenance and is relatively inexpensive, but it does show fingerprints and scratches. The metal covers an inner core material which prevents it from sounding to clangy. It is also available in several colors.
  • Glass - cabinets with glass can be ribbed or etched with a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal angle. Some prefer that the glass be ribbed or etched so that it hides what is behind the cabinet door. You also have the option of making the glass clear or colored.
