How to Style Glass Kitchen Cabinets

When we designed our kitchen, I knew I wanted all of the upper cabinets to have glass fronts. I love the look of glass cabinets in a kitchen, but to be honest I found them a bit intimidating to style in the beginning. I had not considered that everything I put inside the glass doors would make such an impact on the overall look of my kitchen. Over time, I learned some simple tricks that made my cabinets not only function well, but look great. Today I wanted to share with you a few easy tips for styling glass kitchen cabinets to achieve the look you want.

CHOOSE A COLOR PALETTE

Having a mostly white kitchen gives me plenty of options when it comes to adding color, but I have found that I have to be deliberate in my choices. If I have different colors in all of my cabinets, my kitchen tends to look a bit messy and disconnected. My solution is to display the items that fit into my color palette in my glass cabinets and store the dishes and serving ware that don’t match in my cabinets with solid doors.

In the spring and summer months I lighten up the look with shades of white and cream and a few subtle splashes of gray or pink.

In fall and winter, I warm up the look of my cabinets with some additional touches of copper and natural wood sprinkled inside the cabinets and on the countertops. No matter the season season, I stick to just a couple of accent colors so that my kitchen looks clean and crisp.

CREATE BALANCE

Having the right size and balance of items in your glass front cabinets makes a big difference in the overall look.

Generally speaking I use a combination of larger items mixed with clusters of smaller items or cookbooks. Because my cabinet doors divide the glass, I think about decorating in two columns.

I find that stacks of plates look great piled up side by side and a few cookbooks underneath a canister adds height and interest. Oversized pitchers or a soup tureen placed opposite each other on a diagonal create balance.

KEEP IT FUNCTIONAL

While it’s great to have your glass cabinets look beautiful, they must also be functional. We have two corners in our kitchen with glass cabinets and this is where I store our everyday dishes and glassware.

I don’t know about you, but my family tends to grab whatever is on the lowest shelf, so that is where I put the most often used plates and glasses. This also makes emptying the dishwasher easier.

The less frequently used or purely decorative items go on the higher shelves and are rarely disturbed. This works out well because for the most part my cabinets stay as I styled them with just a few adjustments to the lowest shelves when needed.

All of the upper cabinets in our kitchen have glass fronts, so keeping them styled and organized is vital. The good news is with some simple shifting around and seasonal changes they make our kitchen look warm and inviting, which exactly how I like it!
