Glass Kitchen Cabinets

If you are looking to dress-up your cabinets and bring more light into your kitchen, consider mixing glass in with other door fronts in the kitchen. Glass can bring attention to any design, especially the less unique stock cabinets. Glass cabinets also make a kitchen appear larger by bouncing back sunlight streaming in from the windows.

There are several different options of glass to choose from. For example, you may want to use clear glass to highlight your fine china or collectibles. On the other hand, you may not be fond of fingerprints and tend to collect clutter in which case clear glass would not be your best option. In such cases, you may want to opt for ribbed glass which lets the colors show through the glass, but hides the messy details. Other options are also available in a variety of textures and patterns to create the look you enjoy most.

Options For Your Kitchen Cabinet Glass Doors

There are many options to consider when looking at glass doors for your kitchen cabinets. Here are some of the most common options for your glass doors.

  • Clear: No texture or pattern.
  • Ribbed: May be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal.
  • Beveled: Polished angle-ground glass with prismatic characteristics.
  • Bubbled: Air bubbles sprinkled in the glass to enhance the illusion of age.
  • Camed: Strips of lead, brass, or copper are set between the glass panes.
  • Colored: The glass is tinted in color.
  • Etched: Hydrofluoric acid is used to carve a design into the glass.
  • Frosted: Glass blown with fine sand under high pressure for an opaque look.
  • Mullion: Thin strips of wood separate the panes of glass. They can either be individual panes, sandwiches between front and back mullions, or as one sheet of glass inserted behind the mullions.
  • Textured: Unique textures are added to the glass.
  • Stained: Unique stained glass inserts.

Additional considerations include using unique sandwiching inserts between the layers of glass. Inserts may consist of fabric, rice paper, or photos. You may also want to install a small halogen light in your frosted or clear cabinets for an additional radiance. Adding a light will also help to highlight special contents.

Keep in mind, when you use glass doors, all or parts of the interior will be revealed as well. For this reason, you will want to consider the colors and designs used on the interior. The interior can be decorated with color, stenciled patterns, faux finishes or wallpaper. Also, you may want to use glass shelves to allow the light to shine all the way through.

Overall, glass can make an impact in a row of kitchen cabinets. They commonly placed near the ceiling or in a few choice cabinets, such as those on each end of a countertop. They also work well on an island where the cabinets are storing decorative statements.
