Give Your Home A Sense Of Individuality With Unique Kitchen Unit Doors

Whether you’ve just moved into a new home or you want to breathe a new lease of life into a kitchen you’ve lived with for a while, there are so many design techniques you can use to give this important part of your home its own sense of individuality and personality.

5 Unique Kitchen Unit Doors Ideas

1. Incorporate colourful kitchen unit doors into an otherwise neutral design 

Colour can impact the way a space looks and feels, which in turn can affect the way we feel when we’re in it. If this is your first foray into designing a room with colour, you may want to keep the foundation of your colour palette very neutral with whites, cashmeres or creams, which can then be enhanced with either subtle or bold pops of your favourite colour.

Pro Tip: For a soft and gentle kitchen space, dusky pink, Scandinavian blue or pistachio green kitchen unit doors can bring a hint of colour. For a more impactful look, choose deeper or richer tones, such as denim blue, smoke green or mood grey.

2. Two-toned cabinetry can bring depth and interest 

Mixing and matching kitchen unit doors in two different colours can give a completely different look than if you were to choose just one colour for all of your cabinetry.

If you love shaker style kitchens and want to blend a sense of the traditional with a modern finishing flourish, the Bella Shaker has a timeless quality and clean lines that feel chic and modern.

Choosing a combination of ivory and sage green or antique white and duck egg kitchen unit doors can keep your space feeling fresh and bright while also allowing you to introduce colour in a chic and understated way. 

In a more modern style kitchen, the Bella Venice slab style design easily enhances the sense of spaciousness with its clean lines and sleek silhouette. Mixing and matching white kitchen unit doors in this style with doors in cashmere, dove grey or even a warm oak wood finish will soften its contemporary edges somewhat and enable you to ensure your kitchen always feels welcoming and inviting.

3. Accessorise with tactile materials 

From linen tea towels draped casually over the handle of your oven to woven place mats on your dining table or kitchen island, thick wooden chopping boards propped up on your countertop and ceramic cookware on display, tactile materials can bring texture and added visual interest to your kitchen.

Pro Tip: If you want to create a luxurious dining area that’s always ready for a sophisticated dinner party, accessorise this part of your space with plush velvet cushions and table accents in rich jewel tones for a flash of opulence. 

4. Install open shelving to display your favourite objects 

Whether you want to display your favourite cookware, a selection of houseplants or some of the souvenirs you’ve brought home from your travels, open shelving is one of the simplest and easiest ways to create a design feature that feels truly unique to you and your space. 

Less can often be more when styling open shelving, so try not to squeeze too many different things onto a single shelf. Perhaps try sticking to a particular colour palette or a specific type of object, such as a collection of novelty mugs or your go-to cookbooks.

5. Don’t underestimate the power of great lighting

A statement pendant light above a central kitchen island, strips of LEDs running underneath your cabinet doors and strategically placed ceramic table lamps with eye-catching shades can all bring personality to your kitchen. Make a big impact by choosing lighting with elaborate forms and bold colours, or allow either the shapes or the colour palette to do all the talking.
