When it comes to choosing a colour for your replacement kitchen cupboard doors, white is the one colour that simply refuses to go out of fashion. It offers a timeless elegance and creates an atmosphere that is both fresh and soothing. In addition, replacing your kitchen cabinet doors with white ones will help you keep on top of the cleaning; dirt is far easier to spot in a white kitchen than in any other!

Cabinets of this colour can also help create the illusion of depth and space, making them perfect for smaller kitchens as well as larger ones. While its simple sophistication tends to make it a favourite in country-style kitchens, high gloss finishes mean that it can work effectively in a contemporary setting.

However, there’s more to choosing a kitchen cupboard door than deciding on the colour. White kitchen cupboard doors can be made from a variety of materials, so it’s wise to decide upon the one that will suit you best.

Which is the best material for the job?

  • Vinyl wrapped doors are becoming increasingly popular and are seen as a worthy alternative to natural wood. In essence, they are panels of MDF wrapped in a flexible, vinyl surface. The vinyl can be coloured and even textured, giving the appearance of woodgrain beneath your chosen colour. As a side-benefit they are very durable and much easier to clean than some other materials.
  • Melamine is another durable material that is taking its turn in the spotlight. To create melamine doors, sheets of melamine are injected with formaldehyde to create a resin that will bond with chipboard without the need for adhesive. These doors are particularly resilient to chips and dings and to the extremes of temperature that are so often found in kitchens. As a result, melamine works well in kitchens where space is restricted or where the daily workload is particularly busy.
  • Wood is one of the most desirable materials in a kitchen, because of its hardiness and quality. While there are plenty of spray-painted wooden doors on the market, buying hand painted doors makes all the difference. Hand painted kitchen cabinet doors have a depth and texture that simply cannot be achieved by machines, giving them a more pleasing aesthetic quality. In addition, it’s far easier to touch up the odd chips and dings when doors are hand painted, ensuring their longevity.

Further advantages of white cabinet doors

As the ultimate neutral tone, installing white kitchen cupboard doors can save you time and money. Unlike other colours, you don’t have to worry about co-ordinating with appliances or repainting walls, as white goes well with every colour and virtually every kind of material you’ll find in a kitchen – whether it’s a country-style cottage kitchen or a sleek, chic contemporary backdrop.

However, if you’re worried that white kitchen cabinets might make your kitchen look a bit dull, check out the ranges of designs available for doors. Simple designs set into the doors can result in warm, pleasing shadows that ensure the busiest room in your home remains interesting and characterful.
