In this Victorian-style kitchen, the stained-glass cabinets add a decorative touch to the smooth wooden storage. The interior cabinet lighting enhances the look of the cupboards even more, casting a warm glow through the coloured glass.

It’s a gripping visual where the minimalist island and wall cabinets in stark white are enveloped by a vibrant room with patterned flooring, brick wall and a Goan mother-of-pearl window. The kitchen shows a balance between modern and rustic elements: the handle-less storage looks seamless and modish, and the decor elements around it have an earthy quality to them.

Matt black wall cabinets meet clean wooden floor ones and a modern, stylish kitchen emerges. The borders around the drawers have quite an artsy quality. The dark flooring ties the whole scheme together.

This is a visually pleasing contrast where the white and grey of the upper and lower cabinets play off well against each other; the space gets pattern and movement in the design through the flooring.

The powder-blue cabinets and drawers get an ornamental touch thanks to the antique-gold handles. The soft colour palette of the cabinets syncs well with the neutral walls, creating a visually light look. Plus, see how well organised this kitchen’s storage is, with corner shelves, below-the-stove drawers and a section for the microwave.

I like the cubby-style cabinet design here, where the storage almost seems to have doubled above the bench. The all-white finishes settle well inside the kitchen with wooden flooring and a grey island – a balanced melange of soft hues.

The magnetic quality of black is undeniable and in this kitchen, the pull hinges in gold add a nice, decorative detailing. I also like the layout of the cabinets, where the top and bottom units, running parallel, seem to meet at the vertical unit on the left, almost framing the splashback area that displays an inspiring tile design.

A unified look is achieved for the cabinets, the pantry in the middle, and the oven and microwave section, thanks to the chrome-finished units. The slightly glossy character of the cabinets adds a sense of luxury to this kitchen.

In this small U-shaped kitchen, the white wall cabinets blend in with the neutral subway tiles all around, ensuring that the tall cabinets touching the ceiling do not look too bulky. Providing a nice contrast is the dark wooden storage below, which has a mix of drawers and cabinets.

I like how the brown and white combine to create a coffee-and-cream-inspired look in this kitchen. The space uses wall-to-wall storage, and also utilises the space above the bench, ensuring that there is a place for everything here, while the design isn’t compromised.

Light grey surely seems to be the hot colour these days; I’ve been noticing its rampant use lately in projects shared on Houzz. This kitchen, too, revels in the magic of this hue that has the power to create a calm, relaxing setting. The space benefits from plenty of storage, seen above and below the bench and also on the island.

Steel meets wood in this contemporary kitchen (reminds me of a MasterChef set) where the louvred cabinets in white are contrasted by the stainless steel ones below the bench – the effect is quite striking. Perfect place for a cook-off.

The thick white framing around the wooden cabinets looks stylish and decorative, giving each unit its own identity. The mix of open and closed shelves gives a distinctive look to the space.

In this contemporary island kitchen, the cabinets have a sleek design. I like the combination of storage here – while the units run together, the top level features tall white cabinets with doors and the brown base units are reserved for drawers.

This modular kitchen with white lacquered cabinets above and below the bench provides ample storage for china and ingredients. Plus, the unit on the left is specially built only to house the oven, microwave and fridge, ensuring that the bulky appliances do not eat into the space of the other items.

The cream shelves and china cabinet create a sublime scheme against the white walls and prevent the kitchen from looking too starchy. The blue knobs look quite charming too, like little jewels on the cabinets.

The floor and wall cabinets here remind us that colours aren’t only meant for bedrooms and living rooms – see how the light aqua shade looks so eye-catching in this woody kitchen. The sleek handles on all the shelves give a dainty touch.

This L-shaped kitchen utilises the entire stretch along one wall and the next for storage. The white cabinets look sleek and smart; the wooden storage above adds just the right amount of brown to balance the pristine look of the kitchen.

The best of both worlds – the white floor drawers are easy to open with a pull mechanism; as is the sliding wooden unit just above, which makes a statement. The organic finish of the wood looks appealing against the un-pigmented surroundings. I’m sure working in this kitchen must be a treat.

The texture, warmth and charm of wood can make any interior look welcoming. The above-bench storage in timber provides a soothing contrast to the pristine white cabinets below, which almost merge with the white walls around. I like the tiny sliver of open storage here, perfect to keep sauces, spices, salt and pepper.
