Adding Glass Adds Class to Cabinets

hey say that “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”. Given the view afforded the neighbors though, stones are the least of their worries. On the other hand, using glass in your cabinets is a worry-free way of adding class to custom wood doors. Homes that feature custom wood exterior doors already stand out from their neighbors thanks to the unique, distinctive look that only custom service can provide.

By incorporating glass with the custom approach in other areas such as the kitchen, your home will be much like the perfect partner: Beautiful inside and out.

Leave Them Wanting More

Depending on the look you desire, there are a number of ways to incorporate glass inserts with custom wood doors. Homeowners who want a sleek, modern feel for their kitchen may opt for fluted-glass in cabinet doors. The effect will be to partly obscure the items in the cabinet while still giving onlookers a good sense of what’s inside.

Again, the appeal is similar to that of your better half; fairly open and inviting with just enough mystery to keep you intrigued.

Frost in the Forecast

Another popular approach involves a row of frosted-glass panels in cabinets with custom wood doors. Kitchens that are quite narrow really open up when this type of glass is inserted in place of standard doors.

As an added bonus, the cabinet contents will be more blurred than with fluted glass, an advantage if you want to conceal the clutter or have a place to quickly stash unwashed pots when company drops in; it’s okay, everyone does it.

Welcome the World

Even if the all-glass house idea was ill-conceived, you can do the same thing on a smaller scale with custom wood doors. Buyers may wish to show off an exquisite assortment of dinnerware (after it’s washed, of course), and cabinets with clear glass fronts were made just for that purpose.

Make sure that cabinet handles and the pulls on drawers underneath are simple in design so as not to distract from the collection being showcased. Then sit back, absorb the compliments and be prepared with your modest reply: “Now that you mention it, I guess they are quite attractive. I never thought of that.”

Bring it Down and Lighten Up

Cabinets with bold colors can brighten up a kitchen and make a dramatic statement. But as the neighbor with the shelf full of baby pictures has shown, it’s easy to go overboard.

One way to tone it down in a vibrantly colored space is through strategic placement of cabinet glass inserts in custom wood doors. Designers understand this need for balance and can show you how to achieve it; now if only they could do something about those baby pictures.

Testing Patterns

Sometimes the best way to exceed expectations is to do the unexpected. For example, try affixing some patterned wallpaper behind glass-front cabinets with custom wood doors. Houses can enhance visual interest this way and add a punch of personality to any space. Because the choice of patterns is virtually unlimited, you can easily find one to fit your style.

As with bright colors though, don’t overdo it or you’ll be underwhelmed by the reviews.

Including glass in your cabinet doors opens up a world of possibilities. How you do it will hinge on your specific tastes and the look you’re going for. Whatever route you take, rest assured that you’ll add a touch of class in the process. And as for those people who choose to live in glass houses, they’re clearly in a class by themselves.

Ramp up the “wow” factor with custom wood doors.
