Mineral Finish Kitchen Cabinets:

The mineral finish effect for kitchen cabinets is currently trending and widely sought after for 2022, and there are many important reasons why.

Adaptable to all kitchen designs

The mineral finish is highly adaptable to all tastes; it delivers a modern, fresh and contemporary look but offers versatility with a homely and conformable feel. The mineral effect possesses stone, and fabric-like aesthetics can also bring texture and structure to any interior, making it a versatile choice for a range of kitchen styles. This finish looks fantastic when paired with light coloured walls, offering a fresh and uplifting approach that cleverly opens the surrounding space whilst keeping it warm and welcoming. Kitchen cabinets are a dominant feature of any kitchen design; their finish and colourway are imperative to the overall kitchen area.

A unique finish to create either ambience or drama

The balance for ambience and feel is crucial for the home's most favoured and utilised space. Mineral finish cabinets also enable you to explore a range of unique accessories to intertwine with your interior effect, items such as taps, handles, and copper trims will further enhance your kitchen design's overall richness and character. Choosing colour pallets to complement your cabinets is always an exciting challenge. If you wish to make a bold statement, then deep greys and dark blues are ideal for features walls; these can work exceptionally well with cabinets that are lighter in colour, delivering a subtle and softer finish.

Custom kitchen cabinets bespoke to you

We are excited to see mineral finish kitchen cabinets become a popular choice for 2022, and here's why!

Unique cabinet design with durability combined

There are many exciting attributes to mineral finished cabinets; not only is there a vast array of appealing elements to explore. From urban concrete to rustic oak, there are no limits in the range of light and shade contrasts to be discovered. When choosing finished mineral cabinets, durability is an imperative feature, and it's a crucial aspect when investing in a new kitchen design and installation. Protection of kitchen doors and finished surfaces is essential; that's why mineral paint has been designed especially for these surfaces. The mineral paint acts as a robust defence against general wear and tear and is ideal when wiped down quickly to remove unwanted spillages and finger marks.

Custom kitchen cabinets to compliment kitchen accessories

The mineral finish cabinets are also highly adaptable and can complement a range of design styles and features. The handleless kitchen style works particularly well, giving a modern and timeless kitchen design. Mineral finish cabinets fit perfectly into this style as they are incredibly versatile. Depending on your overall design preference and how you wish your mineral finish cabinets to perform, you can always seek complementary accessories to integrate with your kitchen. For example, investing in stone-like slate accessories or metallic copper trims, produces a natural and accurate representation of an authentic natural stone blend. In particular, this choice of mineral finish will work exceptionally well with quartz and oak worktops, offering superior results to an already unique, inviting kitchen space.

Outline kitchen doors:

The outline is a new bespoke range of integrated handles, carefully crafted to suit many kitchen styles and themes, from ultra-modern to timeless classics. Outline kitchen doors are guaranteed to bring your fully custom kitchen to life. The Outline collection offers an inviting and unusual selection of highly functional handle options, enabling you to discover the most appealing designs that match your personality, design, and practicality. The versatility of Outline kitchen doors means that these styles work well when integrated into a range of cabinets, from classic shakers to ultra-modern ones. Fully customised kitchens also allow you to immerse yourself in a world of colour, where there are no boundaries or restrictions. Popular colours such as sage greens, light greys and creams are highly adaptable. Darker colours such as deep navy and black can look fantastic in a contemporary style kitchen space. These bold and impactful hues become further accentuated by the wood and metallic mineral finishes, primarily with the extended channel handle cabinets.

Options for a portal handle:

The portal handle is a circular handle cut from the cabinet, which leaves a contemporary looking minimalist handle solution. Its simplicity but incredible functionality makes it ideal for modern and traditional kitchens.

The edge handle:

The edge is a sophisticated handle that is ideal for various kitchen styles. Its recessed style draws through the natural material colour of the cabinet, which offers an eye-catching contrast effect.

The channel handle:

The channel handle shape works brilliantly with contemporary style kitchens. Its simple yet effective design is integrated into the cabinet, enabling a continuous flow with a sleek and modern finish throughout the entire kitchen.

Extended channel handle:

This elongated handle perfectly matches ultra-modern kitchen styles, like the channel handle. Its contemporary German design creates a pure and minimalist ambience, delivering a stunning symmetry flow.

Sage and forest green were the most in-trend kitchen colours in 2021, and it looks set to be the same for 2022. The excitement in green extends to various attributes: shades of green offer adaptability, ideal for all styles and kitchen themes.

The colour green is synonymous with nature; it delivers an organic and earthy feel that is uplifting and fresh. Due to the vast array of appealing greens available, it means that there are endless opportunities to explore and create remarkable contrasts, such as deep forest green tones set against bright, clean walls for contact and impact. Green is versatile with existing metallic granite surfaces and rustic natural wooden worktops.

Greens are the ideal colour companion to accessories such as taps and trims, where copper and gold work exceptionally well. Greens are unparalleled in modern kitchen flooring, especially with a modern classic kitchen theme.

Greens pair perfectly with parquet and herringbone flooring, enhancing the overall design with a traditional and contemporary colour choice in one. Lighting is a crucial factor for any kitchen, imperative for creating an atmosphere for all occasions. If you want to replicate an authentic heritage feel, greens set against retro lamps in black or rustic copper will set the tone just right
