Your Go-To Guide for Glass-Front Kitchen Cabinets

Glass-front cabinets can be a great addition to any style of kitchen. The glass can help to break up large sections of cabinetry while helping to reflect natural light throughout the room. A glass-front cabinet can double as storage space and as a display space for decorative dishware or seasonal decor items.

The easiest way to infuse your kitchen with more glass is to replace existing cabinet doors with glassfront doors. You can customize the design and layout of the glass-front cabinets to help you achieve your desired aesthetic with ease.

Glass-front doors are typically on upper cabinets. The upper cabinets in your kitchen are less likely to be kicked, bumped, or jostled, so having glass doors on these cabinets doesn't pose much of a safety threat. You can replace all of your existing doors with new doors that have a glass insert, or you can replace a select few doors so that the glass-front cabinets act as more of a decorative feature.

Another option to consider if you have cabinets that extend all the way to your kitchen's ceiling is to add a horizontal section of glass only at the very top of each cabinet door. This type of glass insert can break up the cabinets and help to add interest to your kitchen living space.

Installing glass-front cabinets in your kitchen doesn't mean that you have to keep your cupboards organized at all times. You can opt for decorative glass (etched, patterned, or leaded) that helps camouflage a cabinet's contents instead of transparent glass when installing new cabinet doors.

Open concept living spaces are popular among today's homeowners. If you have a kitchen and living area that flow seamlessly into one another, you might want to create a slight separation between the two spaces. A peninsula barrier can help you do just that.

A peninsula is a countertop space that extends out from one of the existing walls in your kitchen. The peninsula can function as a breakfast bar or additional food preparation space in addition to acting as a visible demarcation between your kitchen and living areas.

If you plan to add a peninsula to your kitchen during your remodel, you can incorporate glass-front cabinets into the design by installing glass cabinetry above the peninsula.

Using glass-front doors for a peninsula barrier will allow natural light to flow between the kitchen and living areas in your home while providing you with the additional storage and display space that you may need.

Windows are a desirable architectural feature in any residential property, but having too many windows in your kitchen can pose a problem. If you have more windows than wall space, you may find it difficult to incorporate enough cabinets into your kitchen design to make the space functional.

Glass-front cabinets can help you solve your dilemma without sacrificing any natural light or giving up any storage space. Window cabinets feature glass on both sides of each cabinet. This allows the cabinet to be placed directly in front of a window without impeding the view.
You can easily store all of your dishware and kitchen gadgets without requiring a solid wall when you opt to install glass-front window cabinets in your kitchen.

Incorporating glass into your kitchen can help the space feel more bright and open. Glass-front cabinet doors offer an affordable and effective solution for homeowners who want to add glass without breaking the budget.
