Formal Country Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchens designed in the formal country style use open cabinets painted in off-white or New England colors. The cabinets are often oak, maple or birch with very simple style. Glass doors cover portions of the kitchen cabinets, with curtains sometimes placed behind the glass for a beautiful country look.
Adding a wood cook stove can accentuate the antique look and feel of the formal country kitchen design, bringing back the feel of Grandma’s kitchen – comfortable, traditional, and inviting.
Kitchens designed in the casual country kitchen style also provide a comfortable feel. The kitchen cabinets are often distressed with the look of wear, raw wood and fading paint. You can achieve this look with many new glazes and layered finishes.
Kitchens designed with the Casual Country look also use open shelving. In addition, casual country kitchen designs use complementary colored pieces of furniture, as well as stenciled walls, braided rugs, dried flowers, hanging baskets, and cast-iron cookware.
Many times the kitchen countertops are made from butcher block or stone. Casual country kitchen designs are meant to give you the feel of an old-fashioned farmhouse kitchen, well-used and well-loved.
Kitchens designed in the English country kitchen style include open china display racks to showcase beautiful plates and china. The kitchen cabinets include valances with wood cut-outs, also called a frieze. The cabinets are painted in unique finishes and styles and include end panels with beaded board. Glass doors or inset doors help top off the English country design.
Kitchens designed in the European or Euro kitchen design use full overlay doors, concealing most of the cabinet frame or box. Sometimes frameless box construction is used for the kitchen cabinets with concealed hinges.
The kitchen Euro cabinets include a higher toe kick area with a light valance molding placed below the cabinet doors to hide lighting. The cabinet doors themselves use wood cuts to show long vertical grains or unusual polyesters imported from Italy, Germany or France.
Kitchens designed in the contemporary or modern style use plastic laminates, special wood veneers, enamels, lacquers, or metal foil laminate for the kitchen cabinet facings. Textures such as horizontal ribbing are often incorporated in the surface of high-tech doors or drawer heads.
The cabinet doors use frameless construction with full overlay doors and no toe kick panel for a high-tech feel. Accessories such as knobs and range hoods are often made of polished stainless steel. The countertops are normally made from tile, Corian, stainless steel or polished stone.
Overall, contemporary kitchen designs are intended to portray a very modern, futuristic feeling with clean, sleek lines.
