Bring The Mediterranean To Your Kitchen With Stylish Replacement Cabinet Doors

Sunshine, salty air, gently lapping waves, olive oil and fresh herbs are all things that immediately come to mind when thinking about the Mediterranean and if you want to bring a little slice of this beautiful part of the world into your home, here's how.

Mediterranean Styled Kitchen Ideas

Combine warm terracotta tones with fresh blue hues

Reminiscent of a sunset over the ocean, terracotta and blue tones work beautifully together to create a space that feels inviting, joyful and oh so relaxing. Combine terracotta tiles with light blue replacement cabinet doors, warm wooden worktops and accents of sandy beige to create a chic coastal ambience which feels like a tonic at the end of a long and busy day. 

Pro Tip: The Bella Shaker doors tread the line between classic and contemporary, making it an ideal style for a Mediterranean kitchen. 

Incorporate pops of vibrant colour 

From colourful patterned ceramics to a bowl of citrus fruit on a kitchen island, bold pops of colour never look out of place in a Mediterranean inspired space.

If you want to play with colourful accents, keep the foundations of your space simple by pairing the elegant and timeless Bella Paris replacement cabinet doors in an antique white or cream tone with a natural oak worktop.

You can then let your creativity shine by choosing colourful accessories, including beautiful ceramic door handles and drawer pulls, mosaic tiles for a bold backsplash, and intricately patterned woven rugs.

Celebrate natural materials 

Natural materials sit at the heart of a traditional Mediterranean kitchen, with rustic wooden beams, terracotta tiles, and ceramic pots filled with fresh rosemary, thyme and oregano always on hand to throw into all manner of delicious dishes.

Choose replacement cabinet doors finished in a beautiful natural oak and you’ll notice how the wood grain brings an extra element of texture to your space.

Bring some contrast by choosing brushed silver or brass handles and drawer pulls, and a beautiful granite or marble countertop with gorgeous patterns that will bring even more depth to your kitchen.

Accessorise with striking and functional pieces, such as thick wooden chopping boards, colourful enamel cookware, and woven linen tea towels.

Open wooden shelving can give your space the wow factor 

From freestanding wooden dressers to wall-mounted pieces of timber, beautifully styled open shelving can become a focal point in your kitchen. Ideal for displaying your favourite crockery, cookbook collection, herbs in terracotta pots or treasured souvenirs from your travels, this part of your kitchen can be both decorative and functional, ensuring that everything you need is within easy reach when you’re preparing your next culinary masterpiece. 

Pro Tip: Place everything you use regularly on a lower shelf and reserve higher, harder-to-reach shelves for your favourite decorative objects.

Choose warm lighting to mimic the beauty of golden hour 

Avoiding harsh lighting choices will ensure the ambience of your kitchen always feels inviting and comforting. Wrought iron fixtures are perfectly suited to Mediterranean inspired kitchens, bringing a touch of contrast without ever looking too harsh. 

In the parts of your space where you need more light, incorporate a combination of overhead task lighting with table lamps or wall sconces fitted with warm toned light bulbs to reflect the natural beauty of golden hour.

You could also install focal lights beneath your cabinets or wall-mounted shelves to provide enough light across your countertops to avoid needing to turn on overhead lights altogether.

Pro Tip: Look for lighting solutions with organic, curved shapes to perfectly complement the natural materials and earthy tones throughout your design.

Maximise your kitchen’s natural light 

Allowing plenty of light to bounce around your kitchen will enhance its sense of space, making it feel bright and airy. Swap light blocking heavy blinds and curtains for sheer fabrics or clever light filtering blinds that will still provide privacy but won’t block out precious sunlight.
