Complete Your Kitchen In Style With Skyline Cabinetry

CABINET STYLES TO COMPLEMENT ANY INTERIOR

As cabinets are designed to cover such a large part of the kitchen space, the style of their doors has the potential to influence how the whole space functions and feels, whether you’re going for a contemporary or traditional design, or somewhere in between. The range from Skyline Cabinetry includes the ever-popular Shaker style, which is slim-fronted with a narrow frame encircling the centre panel for a unique design. There are also European-style frameless designs if you prefer a more streamlined appearance, and both will give you complete freedom when it comes to choosing the surfaces, colors, and textures that complement it. This is true whether you prefer a simple kitchen with lots of matching fixtures and features, or something that has a greater variation in materials, textures, and colors. 

Slim Shakers can introduce fine detail without having an overly decorative style, and because of this, they work best in homes trying to combine familiar, family-friendly features with modern designs, knobs, and pulls in chrome and other polished styles. The narrow borders on these cabinets create a synchronous pattern right across the cabinetry in the kitchen, ideal for complementing with rectangular ceramic subway tile, as the horizontal arrangement mimics the lines of the drawers and cupboards. Combine this with simple handles, and the door design remains the main attraction, but the warmer finishes contrast well against painted finishes of multiple colors. 

Contemporary kitchens tend to lean towards the frameless options for a cleaner finish, and this pairs well with large natural stone countertops, simple wall finishes, and large-format porcelain tiles to continue the look with the fewest grout lines breaking up the visual identity of the space. The opposite is true if you opt for plain-fronted cabinets, and they can give more room for a patterned or textured wall to shine, and in these cases it’s best to introduce something like a glass mosaic as a backsplash or even tile the entire wall underneath the cabinets. 

ROOM FOR EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS WITH ADDED PRACTICAL STORAGE

Kitchen designs work best when you have the items you use most close at hand, but also enough storage options in the kitchen to ensure the countertops are cleared and not cluttered when it comes to preparing food. When you mix and match the range from Skyline Cabinetry, you can make sure that you have enough base cabinets, drawer base cabinets, and wall cabinets, in the right combination for your space to give ample storage. Upper cupboards provide space for all of your crockery and groceries, drawers help to separate your multiple utensils and cooking accessories, and lower cabinets can be used to store appliances that are used infrequently. 

The base cabinets that sit just below the countertop are a main storage area for many modern kitchens, as it allows lots of storage for items that can be bulky, such as breadmakers or crockpots, and they can be accessed in seconds, used, then stowed away again, keeping the kitchen surface clear. When you position under-countertop drawers near a cooking area, cooking becomes a breeze as you can grab a utensil without having to walk across the kitchen or rummage through cupboards. 

The space underneath the sink can often become an area that’s unused, but with a specially designed sink base cabinet, you have a place to store all of your cleaning products for the kitchen and the home. The same is true of wall cabinets, giving you an elevated space that makes the most of wall space that would otherwise be unused, giving you a place to store dishes and glasses without taking up countertop or floor space. Whichever design you choose, paired with the right backsplash tile, it can connect the upper and lower parts of your design and create a cohesive look, especially if it’s matched with similar tones in your porcelain flooring.

USE BOTH COLOR AND WOOD TONES TO CREATE YOUR ROOM

The finishes and colors you choose in your cabinetry influence the feel of your kitchen. It can be made bright and welcoming, or warmer and more dramatic based on your style of cabinet and color. Skyline Cabinetry offers homeowners the opportunity to take their kitchen in a number of directions thanks to the selection of whites and neutrals, alongside darker colors, greens, and even beautiful oak finishes. You can use these to coordinate your room with existing cabinets, or use them to create a brand new look with a remodel. 

Simpler finishes leave lots of room for adding detail to other parts of the kitchen or bathroom, including the natural patterns found in marble backsplashes, and many homeowners choose to pick up on shades from the marble’s veining and reflect that in the accents around the kitchen. Grey and black cabinets work well as an excellent contrast to wood-look tiles to introduce a warmer tone and prevent the room as a whole from looking too dark. For lighter colors in the range, consider White Oak, Oak Blonde, Oak Shade, and Slim Amber Oak, all of which make an excellent pairing with stone-look porcelain, which provides durability and another texture aside from wood, which can tend to dominate if it's present on both cabinetry and flooring.
