Choosing between glass cabinets and plain wall units in your kitchen design can affect the space's overall feel. Glass cabinets are excellent for creating a sense of openness and lightness, making the kitchen appear larger and more inviting. They also provide an opportunity to display beautiful dishware or decorative items, adding a personal touch to the space. However, if you prefer a cleaner and more streamlined look, plain wall units might be the better option as they offer a sleek, uniform appearance and can hide clutter effectively. Both designs have merits, so consider which style best aligns with your practical needs and aesthetic preferences.

Many thanks for the reply. From a design point of view do the glass units look ok or look out of place in terms of symmetry and design?

Personally I don’t like the current glass door proposal. For me it’s a clash with the glass extractor and I think the symmetry feels forced. But I think glass cabinets elevate a kitchen so would probably swap the extractor for an integrated one and then put the glass doors together so they have more impact.

I prefer option one without the glass. Option 2 looks a little clunky?

Thanks guys…where should the glass cabinets go? I think the integrated extractors are not that good and don’t communicate with the hob…

i prefer the look of no glass in the images as shown. You’ve also got the shelves for display already. I appreciate it’s the designers render but you could also do the collection of chopping boards etc on the worktop

I am not keen on the glass doors in this set up ; I think that they accentuate the lack of symmetry. the first option looks much cleaner. It might be possibly that the wood on the left hand end, which I love, means that the glass makes it just too many diferent things going on

The first image looks classy and timeless - I like the run of white wall cabinets which seem almost to disappear. But with glass doors in the mix, that illusion is lost and, to my eyes, the result is cluttered.
