Matt or gloss
Matt looks soft and modern; gloss is brighter and reflects more light.
White cabinets
White cabinets,made to measure.
The doors you choose shape how a room looks and feels. Here is how to choose white cabinet fronts, and where else white cabinetry works.
White cabinets
The door matters more than the white
The same white looks very different on a flat handleless front, a framed shaker door or a glossy panel. Texture, edge detail and the way light falls across the surface change the whole feel of a room.
We make white cabinetry for kitchens, utility rooms, wardrobes and home offices, so the same finish can carry through the home.

Ideas
White cabinets: ideas to look at.
Good to know
Things worth checking before you decide.
Edges show
Edge detail and door gaps are easier to see in white than in darker colours. Ask to see a door close up.
Whites rarely match across ranges
Choose one range for every room where possible so the white stays consistent.
Look at real samples
Screens and printed photos change white. A physical door sample is the reliable way to choose.
Questions
White cabinets: common questions.
Something not covered here? Ask the studio and we will help.
Should I choose matt or gloss white cabinets?
Matt looks softer and tends to hide fingerprints better. Gloss is brighter and reflects more light. We can show you both so you can decide in your own light.
What is the difference between shaker and handleless?
Shaker doors have a framed panel and suit traditional or transitional rooms. Handleless doors are flat with integrated grips and suit modern, minimal rooms.
Can I have white cabinets in a utility room or wardrobe?
Yes. We make white cabinetry for utility rooms, wardrobes and home offices as well as kitchens, so the finish can match throughout.
Which handles suit white cabinets?
Black gives a crisp contrast, brushed steel feels neutral and brass adds warmth. Handleless doors skip handles altogether.
How do I choose the right white?
Hold door samples against your walls and floor, in morning and evening light. We can help you narrow it down at the studio.

Our studio is at 113 Victoria Road, Ruislip, and we work across Ruislip, Pinner, Harrow, Northwood, Uxbridge, Ealing, Watford, Greater London and the Home Counties.
