Choosing the right doors for your kitchen can completely transform its appearance and functionality.
One of the most common dilemmas when renovating or designing a kitchen is deciding whether to opt for glass or non-glass doors.
Both options have their own advantages and considerations. In this article, we help you make the best decision for your kitchen.
Factors to consider when choosing kitchen doors
The style of the kitchen is one of the most important factors when choosing doors.
If your kitchen has a modern, minimalist or contemporary design, glass doors can add a stylish touch.
On the other hand, if it has a rustic or more traditional style, doors without glass may complement it better so that the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
Another factor to consider is the functional needs of your kitchen, as glass doors allow you to see what's inside, while non-glass doors provide privacy and are much more discreet.
Finally, you should consider your budget, as glass doors tend to be more expensive due to the materials used and the additional work involved. If you are on a tight budget, the best option is doors without glass, so that you don't sacrifice style and functionality.
Advantages of glass kitchen doors
Glass kitchen doors add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space, and are available in a variety of styles, from clear to frosted or patterned glass. They can complement any kitchen design.
Glass has the advantage of making spaces feel larger and more open. By allowing light to flow through, they can make even the smallest kitchens feel more spacious and airy.
On the other hand, you can choose from different types and styles of glass, finishes and frames to suit your preferences perfectly. In addition, you can opt for textured or coloured glass to add a unique and personal touch to your kitchen.
Current trends in kitchen doors
In the world of design, trends are constantly changing and this is no different in the world of kitchen decoration.
Currently, one of the most popular trends is the use of frosted or textured glass doors.
Another growing trend is the use of kitchen doors with metal frames. Black or gold steel frames add a trendy, industrial and modern touch. These doors are often combined with clear or lightly tinted glass to create visual contrast.
Finally, doors with coloured or artistically patterned glass inserts are gaining popularity. These doors serve not only as a functional element, but also as a decorative piece that can become the centrepiece of the kitchen.
Kobe and Fenix models
Within this trend, the Kobe model by OB Cocinas stands out with its glass cabinets in the wall units, which have wooden doors, and in the island, where the cabinets have black metal profile doors. This design combines the best of both worlds: the warmth of wood with the modernity of black metal, offering a versatile and attractive aesthetic for any kitchen.
Likewise, the Fenix model also includes display cabinets in the wall units with black metal profile doors, adding a contemporary and sophisticated touch that complements its bright and modern design.
