You’ve picked your perfect kitchen door style and nailed the exact colour. But for the ultimate kitchen design, there’s another crucial element you should never forget, say the experts. And that’s the texture of your kitchen doors.
A simple toss-up between matt or glossy kitchen trends won’t cut it these days. And now there’s a whole host of exciting textures like fluted timber, reeded glass, and liquid metal to choose from. “Texture on the door front is one of those quiet details that changes everything,” declares Charlie Smallbone, founder of Ledbury Studio. “It’s what stops a kitchen from feeling flat, and instead gives it depth, warmth, and a sense of lived-in character. I’ve always believed a door should be more than a surface. It should catch the light differently as you move around the room, invite your hand to touch it, and add a subtle layer of storytelling to the space.”
