Illuminated smoked glass cabinets are the new kitchen must-have
Posted on 9th March 2022
Out with the old, in with the new – this year at the KBB Show in Birmingham I was drawn to smoked and glazed glass cabinets, with slim, incorporated LED strips. Lush.
If you are team wall cupboards but also love open shelving (without all the dusting and cleaning), then get the best of both worlds with glass cabinets. Change up your scheme by simply upgrading your old cabinet fronts with a trendy, glass design that will elevate your space and add a touch of sophistication.
Smoked and glazed glass cabinets work well within any scheme, from sleek and handleless to modern-rustic designs. Plus, by incorporating LED strips you will step up your lighting game and get that bistro-like look in your kitchen, and also nail your mood lighting.

Go all out and add smoked glass cabinets on your kitchen island too – great for displaying your favourite crockery in style. I loved this set-up by Kutchenhaus.Not really the most organised type?

Tired of the classic, clear glass cabinet fronts?
Then, how about glazed designs? Brighten up your kitchen and get that frosted look with ribbed and mesh cabinet fronts.
