Published on 28 Oct 2021

Finding suitable kitchen cabinets will allow you to achieve a kitchen that you’ll love for years to come.

When it comes to kitchen cabinets, there are options galore - with such a wealth of options, knowing where to begin can be a challenge. There are 16,000 possible configurations with our cabinets, so whatever the size and shape of your space, there’s a kitchen cabinet style that’s perfect for you.

What makes our kitchen cabinets different?

The innovative design of our kitchen cabinets eliminates the need for the disruptive centre posts seen in standard kitchen cabinets. As a result, you’ll benefit from far more space and uninterrupted access to your kitchenware.

What’s more, our kitchen cabinets' unmatched strength and stability can withstand the demands of even the busiest of households. You can rest assured that your kitchen cabinet will last for years to come, no matter what your lifestyle requirements.

Which kitchen cabinets are best for my kitchen?

The kitchen cabinets you choose will depend on the size of your kitchen, your desired workflow and the overall look you’re trying to achieve. We have a comprehensive collection of modern, shaker and handleless kitchens that come with an array of kitchen cabinets that will complement your kitchen of choice. In addition, 11 beautiful internal colours are available to you to contrast or complement your scheme.

What styles of kitchen cabinets are there?

Base cabinets and wall cabinets are the backbone of kitchens and seen in almost every kitchen. We offer double and single base and wall cabinets that can be tailored to your individual requirements. However, there are an array of different cabinet shapes, sizes and door styles. Here are your options.

Kitchen cabinets with sliding doors

Kitchen cabinets with sliding doors are a practical way to make a design statement in your kitchen. Sliding doors are a great alternative to standard doors as the side-to-side soft close mechanism eliminates doors protruding into walking spaces. Our kitchen cabinets with sliding doors come with the added benefit of integrated lighting, bringing an overall unique look to your home.

Kitchen cabinets with glass doors

Cabinets with glass front doors make an elegant addition to traditional shaker kitchens and allow you to showcase beautiful crockery and kitchenware.
 
You probably won’t want to have glass fronts on every cabinet, but glass doors look beautiful when combined with other cabinet styles and help break up the uniformity of other kitchen cabinets.

Kitchen cabinets with bifold doors

Kitchen cabinets with bi-fold doors look great in any kitchen, particularly in kitchens where there is limited space for doors to open into. The design of bifold doors consists of fastened panels and hinges that allow the door to collapse and expand in a single motion, taking minimal walking space.

Kitchen cabinets for small kitchens

If your kitchen is cramped, opt for minimal wall cabinets, or, scrap wall units completely. Wall cabinets are not a requirement for a space-savvy kitchen and can cause gloominess in small spaces. Our base cabinets and deep drawers have enough storage space to accommodate crockery and all your bits and bobs. Incorporate open shelving and a pull-out larder into your kitchen’s design too to utilise your space.

Kitchen cabinets for organisation

The kitchen pantry cabinet is the perfect choice for households that love an organised home. Our kitchen pantry, The Hathaway can be personalised to your every need and a beautiful way to bring a bespoke touch to a traditional kitchen. 

Kitchen cabinets for corners

When it comes to kitchen cabinets, corners can be tricky. Luckily, we have the solution. Our kitchen cabinets can be designed to fit perfectly into otherwise wasted corner spaces. If you want a walk-in kitchen pantry cabinet but don’t have the space, a corner pantry is the next best thing!

Larder kitchen cabinets

A larder kitchen cabinet is a modern take on the pantry cabinet and features drawers that boast easy access and can withstand up to 70kg per drawer! Our larder cabinet, The SpaceTower, is a terrific option for busy households that require storage for lots of cupboard goods or keen cooks who have a wide range of ingredients to store.
