Kitchen Cabinets & Kitchen Renovations

Kitchen renovation is fun and can be one of the most exciting parts of revamping any home. Cabinets play an essential role in defining how much space each piece takes up, so they need careful consideration before anything else goes into design mode! For this reason, you may want to go for a popular choice such as a Glass-front kitchen cabinet.

What is a Glass-Front Cabinet

Glass Front Cabinets help divide an ample space or create a display case for items you love. Giving an impression of “see-through walls” that will surely be a conversation starter for all of your guests.

Glass cabinets may be stylish in the layout, but there are some downsides to their use. Here are some advantages and disadvantages of glass cabinet doors you may want to consider for your Ottawa Kitchen Renovation

Advantages of a Glass -Front Kitchen Cabinet

• Brightens up a space – We know that glass is a good reflector of light, making any room feel brighter and spacious. The reflection of your cabinets on the mirror behind them will give you an illusionary feeling in what would otherwise be considered just another kitchen design! Glass-front cabinets near windows provide light and a reflected view in addition to their primary function. The best part? You can put them near windows for those lovely views!
• Adds a Luxurious touch– Adding some glass to kitchen storage makes it modern and pristine. The clear, durable material is functional for storage purposes. It adds a touch of luxury that will make any meal preparation experience more enjoyable in this space where food comes first!
• Showcase of items – Beautiful dinnerware or prized collection may be displayed and stored in glass-front cabinets. You can curate and place the most visually appealing things at the top. If you have a sturdy cabinet frame, you may put smaller items on the bottom shelf that you don’t want on show. Opt for frosted or tinted glass for a more private finish in your collection.

Disadvantages of Glass Front Kitchen Cabinet

• Exposes Clutter – It might sound obvious, but glass makes everything visible in the kitchen cabinets -and this does not excuse the mess or dust. Another thing to consider is how much time and effort you are willing to dedicate to organizing your things, regular polishing, and wiping as dust collects in corners and crevices.
• Expensive – The glass in your kitchen needs to be high quality and durable for everyday use. Incorporating decorative glass into your kitchen cabinets will increase the cost, as would any other luxurious addition to your home or kitchen space. When considering a kitchen makeover, remember that glazing is a talent that requires time.
• Delicate material – With their fragile nature, it’s easy to see why cabinets made of this material might be more prone than other types for cracking and breaking. This is something you’ll want to keep in mind when purchasing cabinet doors or if your family has a habit of shutting it with force, as they may not hold up well against such treatment!
