Cabinets with a glass front are a welcome addition to any kitchen renovation. Not only do glass doors break up the monotony of wood cabinet fronts, but they also add both form and function. Now, let’s examine several glass-front door applications to help in Reflecting on the Best Ways to Use Glass-Front Cabinets and also help you combine them into your kitchen’s layout and design.

Glass cabinet doors have become more of a kitchen design standard than a trend in recent years. Among the many advantages of glass-front cabinets are:

• Creating depth to make smaller spaces feel larger 
• Permitting color pops and seasonal decorations to be displayed behind glass-front cabinets
• Utilizing available light and enhancing the overall design with reflective elements

Depending on what is stored inside, glass cabinet doors offer both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Glass-front cabinets are maybe the best option to entirely exposed shelves for securing your collectibles.

Popular Textures for Kitchen Cabinet Glass Front Doors

Although glass cabinet door fronts are available in a range of textures, we have observed three different trends when working with clients to pick kitchen remodeling products.

Reeded glass can enhance design

There is one minor issue with plain glass cabinet doors: they are completely transparent. Therefore, they are ideal for use in cabinets that will contain beautiful dishes or seasonal decor. Some homeowners fear clear glass because there are fewer places to hide household items. In such situations, textured reeded glass panels are a wise choice. They provide all the advantages of glass doors while simultaneously concealing any mismatched kitchenware and “the kids put away the dishes” outcomes.

This particular style is composed of repeated vertical lines. Consider how it will fit with the other textures and patterns you intend to incorporate in your kitchen design. For instance, if your backsplash or floors feature patterns with directional elements, you may want to consider the following trend on our list.

Add some water glass.

Water glass cabinet door panels are a popular alternative. They have a pattern that is more intricate and nonlinear, which complements both contemporary and traditional kitchen designs. However, this design is significantly more see-through than the reeded variant, so bear that in mind when determining what to show behind them.

If your flooring, countertops, or backsplash also have a complex pattern, you may prefer water glass’s simpler texture. In contrast, a contemporary kitchen with a minimalist design can benefit from the energy-water glass designs. Consider glass-door appliances, such as this built-in wine cooler, to compliment glass-front cabinets in your new kitchen.

The brilliance of clear glass

Most homes undergoing renovations choose tried-and-true clear glass. Glass-front cabinets work in farmhouse, traditional, transitional, and modern kitchens. Clear glass emphasizes displaying contents and preserving them from smudges and fingerprints.
