Upgrading your kitchen cabinets is one of the easiest (yet most effective) ways to breathe a new life into your cooking space. Though their primary function may be completely utilitarian, kitchen cabinets are anything but that. They have the unique ability to transform your entire space. Your kitchen cabinet designs, hardware and colours play a huge role in setting the tone of your cooking space. Whether you are a fan of a traditional style or prefer a more modern look, you can always customize your kitchen cabinets to fit your storage, organization as well as the décor needs.
If your kitchen has plain old cabinets that were built two decades ago, it’s about time you stop repainting them and actually think about a proper upgrade. In case replacing all of the cabinets is not a possibility due to financial restrictions or if they are still in great shape and you think stripping them off would be a great loss, think about replacing their doors or changing their finish.
For your inspiration, we have put together a list of some of the most popular kitchen cabinet designs in Pakistan that will make your cooking area look modern and creative. So, if you are ready to take on a renovation project and say goodbye to a boring old décor, check out these trendy kitchen cabinet design ideas.
Full-Height Kitchen Cabinet Designs
Can you see any space between the top of your kitchen cabinets and the ceiling? If there is a gap between the two, you should consider utilizing it because otherwise, it’s just wasted space.
Unfortunately, a lot of homeowners simply ignore this space, or worse, use it as a storage spot for old boxes and other junk that doesn’t fit inside the cabinets. However, you can eliminate this problem by extending your kitchen cabinets all the way up to the ceiling. Full-height cabinets will not only help add more storage space to your kitchen but also make your ceiling look taller by drawing the eye upwards. Depending on your budget and preference, you can choose ready-to-install wooden kitchen cabinets or aluminium kitchen cabinets for this project.
For this cabinet design idea, all you need to do is add a row of cabinets on top of your existing row of cabinets. Make sure the top row fits perfectly underneath the ceiling with no gaps or empty spaces between them. To make them accessible, you must place the cabinet pulls at the bottom of the cabinet doors.
The top cabinets can be used to store items you seldom need, while the lower row can be used to store things that you need on a daily basis. You can also invest in a step stool to easily open and close these tall cabinets.

Kitchen Cabinet Designs with Glass Doors
Want to add some depth to your kitchen décor? You should think about installing cabinets with glass doors to spruce up an otherwise boring looking space. Though it’s not exactly a new trend, it can certainly elevate your cooking space and make it look trendy. They also work well with both traditional and contemporary kitchen styles and can make your space look brighter as well as spacious.
There are two main ways to incorporate glass into your cabinetry. First, you can use clear glass panes in a custom frame that matches your cabinets. Second, you opt for cabinet doors that are completely made of glass. In case either of these options doesn’t work for you or you feel as if your kitchen looks too exposed, you can always select frosted glass instead of the clear one.
Since glass doors allow you to look inside the cabinets from a distance, make sure they are always clean and organized from the inside. A cluttered cabinet will only make your kitchen look unorganized and unhygienic.
You can also add a few decorative pieces and artificial greens to some of the cabinets to break the monotony and add a splash of colour to your kitchen cabinet design idea.
Kitchen Cabinet Designs with Bold Finish
Most homeowners in Pakistan choose a shade of white or brown for their kitchen cabinets. While there is nothing really wrong with these colours, the truth is that rotating between different shades of the same colour can make your kitchen décor look boring and monotonous.
If you like keeping up with the latest trends, you can consider choosing a bolder hue for your kitchen cabinets. The term ‘bold’ here does not necessarily mean painting your kitchen in a loud, striking colour. Instead, it means going for a colour that is not too mainstream. Depending on the size of your cooking area, the amount of natural light it receives and most importantly, your personal style preference, you can paint your kitchen cabinets in pastel tone, go for darker shades or opt for a bright acrylic finish.
The rule of the thumb dictates that you can paint larger kitchens in darker shades such as black, grey and even navy blue. Meanwhile, lighter shades must be chosen for small kitchen cabinets designs. The reason behind this is that dark colours can make your space look smaller while lighter tones can make it look brighter. Acrylic kitchen cabinets in pastel green, purple, yellow or blue can make your cooking space look and feel a little bigger. On the other hand, laminate cabinets in black, grey and other dark shades can add a hint of elegance and extravagance to your kitchen décor.
In case you are confused between different types of finishes, here is a detailed guide on acrylic vs laminate finish that might help you out. Moreover, you can take a look at our DIY guide on how to paint your wooden cabinets
To conclude, your kitchen cabinet designs must be functional as well as visually appealing. If you plan on selling your house in the near future, make sure the design you choose is marketable. For example, you may love bright green kitchen cabinets, but it might be difficult finding a buyer who would adore it just as much. In cases like this, sticking with white, brown and black shades of cabinets may be your best bet.
You can also go for two-toned cabinets or opt for open shelves for a more unconventional look. Lastly, don’t forget that chasing the latest trends is not always a smart choice. The best kitchen cabinets designs are classic and timeless, though you can always look for the latest kitchen cabinet accessories in Pakistan to refresh your home décor.
