While the choices are endless, here are a few popular cabinet designs perfect for a minimalist kitchen.

5 Types Of Minimalist Cabinet Ideas

 

Make Your Cabinets Shine With Cerused Oak

 

Ivory-hued cabinets are a staple in minimalist modern kitchens. Go for cerused oak to achieve this aesthetic. It is a light oak with an added layer of white pigment known as ceruse, giving your cabinets a subtle white hue and desired texture, serving as an excellent alternative to whitewashing or bleaching oak.

Stick With The Classic Flat Panels

 

Make your kitchen minimalist with the addition of classic flat-paneled cabinets. Be it shaker-style cabinets or something more contemporary, the clean lines, lack of ornate decor and minimal material usage make it a perfect addition to your kitchen space. Simply choose a colour complementing your kitchen’s colour palette and you are good to go.

Don’t Shy Away From Obsidian Cabinets

 

Although pastel colours are the norm when it comes to minimalist modern kitchens, add black subtly to the design for a classy, elegant look. Opt for obsidian-hued, flat-paneled cabinets and complement them with a marble or granite countertop. You can even go for a marble kitchen island. Make sure the countertop or island is in a lighter shade, making it a standout in the space. In this scenario, the black cabinets complement the marble or granite, keeping the kitchen design minimalist yet interesting.

Keep Cabinets Good As New With A Lacquered Finish

 

Durability is an important aspect of a minimalist kitchen cabinet. Keep your cabinets damage-free and shining by opting for a lacquered finish. Customize the level of gloss on the cabinetry as per your preference. However, install these cabinets away from the cooktop or the sink as the lacquer may get damaged after prolonged exposure to direct heat or moisture.

Cozy Up Your Kitchen With Matte Finish Cabinets

 

If you want to create a cozy vibe for your modern kitchen then matte finish cabinets are the best option. As they absorb light instead of reflecting it, they create an illusion of a smaller kitchen space. You can also easily clean them and keep the cabinets scratch-free. Lastly, if you have elements in your kitchen you want to highlight, then pair them with matte finish cabinets to keep the design beautiful and discreet.
