The Pros and Cons of Glass Front Cabinets

Glass front cabinets can instantly create an open and airiness to a room. Not only that, but they also create a great location to display your favorite dishware and decor. Keep in mind though, glass front cabinets always look good in photographs (as they’ve been carefully staged and designed), so making sure that glass fronts are a valuable input to your space is something to consider. A general rule of thumb is to display matching dishes that have a unified look. This will overall give a less cluttered look to the space.

We love how the homeowners have styled their glass front cabinets with matching pottery. This really helps to keep a clean look.

Pros:

• Gives an open and airiness feel to the space
• A great spot to display items
• You can get creative with the many glass options
• Adding a mullion to the door is another great way to elevate a glass front cabinet

Cons:

• A surface to constantly keep clean.
• Can feel chaotic if items stored inside do not have a unified look. If this is the case, check out the glass options below to help!

Glass Options

With the many glass options for glass front cabinets, you’re sure to find one that works for you. Our options range from clear glass to frosted, to various deco patterns. Whichever one you choose; glass fronts can help to bring an open feel to any space! We’ll let you in on a little design secret… if you feel glass front cabinets would look beautiful in your space, but you’re concerned about clutter becoming a problem, then simply choose a glass that is frosted or that has an added deco pattern. This helps to obscure the view without sacrificing the look you’re going for.

The rippled glass gives a slightly obscure view to the interior of the cabinet – providing a little privacy, yet keeping it open and bright.

Mullion Options

Adding mullions to your glass front cabinets will help to add character and charm to your space. We have a variety of mullion options that are great for any style of space. Our mullion options include regular, shaker, country, gothic, mission and X-mullion.

Here we have utilized beautiful gothic mullions on both sides of the range hood providing a nice symmetry.

Whether you simply want glass front cabinets or you’d like to add a mullion option, both will help brighten up your space. To get you started on your kitchen journey, Cabinet Collection has the tools and resources to get you well on your way!
