Adding upper cabinets to your kitchen is an easy way to add more storage space, however, in some cases, this can make the kitchen design look busy and crowded. Kitchen cabinets with glass doors offer a great alternative to keep the kitchen design light, and at the same time, they provide a spot for your dinnerware, glasses, and accessories.

When you are planning out a new kitchen, it’s easy to select some or all upper cabinetry with glass doors. If you have an existing kitchen, you can always check with the supplier if it’s possible to exchange some of the existing doors with glass doors to upgrade your kitchen.

When deciding where to include kitchen cabinets with glass doors, think about how many of your kitchen items are worth displaying and how many need to be stored behind closed doors. Since you will be able to see the contents through the glass doors (whether frosted glass, stained glass, or clear glass) you need to find an elegant way of storing the things in there.

This beautiful kitchen design features light grey kitchen cabinets with brass hardware on the bottom and white cabinets with glass doors on the top. The cabinet frame of the upper cabinets includes small drawers with the same knobs as the ones on the glass doors.

Even though the neutral kitchen design looks quite modest, the combination of the different materials makes it shine.

Kitchen cabinets with glass doors as tableware storage on top of the main kitchen element

Rather than applying upper kitchen cabinets to the wall, you can place your upper cabinets right on top of the countertop, just like in this kitchen design. What you might lose in countertop space is made up by the extra amount of storage gained with the higher kitchen cabinet doors and by using glass doors, you ensure the design doesn’t get too heavy.

A kitchen island with seating is a great space-saving solution for smaller kitchens, as you can combine the kitchen table within your layout plan. If you live in a bigger home, however, kitchen islands with seating are an easily accessible alternative for having your morning coffee, breakfast or dinner with just two people while other family members are out.

A kitchen island can be a perfect addition to your interior, and it can tie the whole kitchen layout together. Plan out a countertop overhang so you have space for your feet and the seats and just like that, you turned your kitchen islands into a breakfast bar.

The perfect kitchen island is considered while planning the space design, yet you can always use one of those carts kitchen islands so you have a flexible option to be used for food preparation or for having breakfast.

If you are thinking about integrating a kitchen island with seating in your remodel, make sure to check out the list below.

A lowered kitchen island with seating in a two-tone kitchen

The two-tone kitchen cabinets in this gorgeous space offer a lot of storage opportunities, however, by picking out the upper cabinets in a lighter color, the layout doesn’t look too crowded. The kitchen island is made out of the same material as the dark wood kitchen cabinets used on the bottom and finished with the same beige stone countertop.

The back half of the kitchen island is lowered and turned into a bar which allows for dining chairs instead of high bar stools. If you prefer sitting on a regular chair this might be a great way to design your kitchen island as well.

A regular island module paired with bar stools

If you don’t have a lot of extra space available in your kitchen but still want to provide an extra seating opportunity at the island, it can be enough to place small stools in front of the storage modules.

The sides of the kitchen island box the seating area in, which provides the layout with interest and clean lines.

A classic kitchen design with a breakfast bar

While most of the island ideas with seating in this list are more modern examples, you can achieve a perfectly functional island in a classic kitchen style just as well.

A small kitchen island in a grey shaker kitchen

When designing the right size island for your kitchen, you need to consider the layout of the space, access points and empty space around all sides, and the functionality it needs to hold. I love the way the owners of this home placed the kitchen island perpendicular to the shortest side of the kitchen, which opens up the space.

The location of the island allows plenty of space for storage and seating, without taking away surface area in front of the other worktops.

When working on a kitchen project, I always make sure to check out the inspirational images on the DeVol Kitchens website, as they are always so authentic, unique, and personal.

DeVOL kitchens was founded in 1989 by Philip deVries and Paul O’Leary, who were design graduates at the time who renovated antique furniture and created bespoke pieces from their small workshop. Not long after that they opened a showroom in Cotes Mill and are now making bespoke kitchen designs for clients across the UK.

The DeVOL kitchens can be characterized by traditional techniques paired with modern innovation and I always recognize small inspirational things in their designs that make the complete kitchen design truly one-of-a-kind. In the list below, I selected my favorite kitchen designs from their portfolio of kitchen spaces, which has been a true inspiration for me over the last few years.

A classic English kitchen in a subdued yellow with a brown kitchen island

The Stoke Newington Kitchen combines authentic designs reminiscent of simpler times with some unique touches, which play an important part in the personality of the space. The owners of this place knocked down a brick wall and replaced it with a glass partition which allows rooms to be separated, yet the daylight can flow freely from space to space.

The subdued yellow on the classic English kitchen cabinets is finished off with a Carrara marble countertop that is elevated behind the brass faucet. The aged brass hardware and hanging rail spreads across the entire kitchen module and comes in handy to store pots and other utensils and it gives the kitchen a farmhouse look. On the other side of the kitchen, you can find a brown kitchen island that adds a beautiful dark tone to the color palette.

This truly bespoke kitchen is finished off with a dark wood table, dark wishbone dining chairs, and a Gaselier light from the Heirloom collection, which is made using traditional techniques.

A grey shaker kitchen with a breakfast bar in a galley layout

This kitchen in a historic house in Bath belongs to the founders of Cereal magazine. Rather than filling the interior completely with classic antiques, the owners took a more contemporary approach and paired antiques with modern furniture pieces, art, other inspirational things, and a beautiful galley kitchen with a breakfast bar that looks over the historic houses in Bath.

The soft and warm grey shaker kitchen is finished off with painted knobs and a minimal white countertop. The combination of lower and upper cabinets with wall shelves allows for ample storage space, without the layout feeling too busy or crowded.

A green shaker kitchen with classic details and appliances

This beautiful green kitchen in The Stepney Townhouse in East London has green-brown shaker cupboards that suit the room and the Georgian house perfectly. The dark shaker kitchen is lightened with marble counters and a white farmhouse sink, finished off with brass cabinet pulls, which are such an important part of the classic appearance of the kitchen design.

An oak kitchen inspired by mid-century English furniture

While the real shaker collection offers economical furniture inspired by authentic shaker carpentry and the Classic English kitchen is a truly bespoke kitchen made in the highest quality, the Haberdasher Collection, pictured below, is inspired by mid-century English furniture.

The East Sheen Kitchen pairs oak cupboards with a big old wooden table, vintage chairs, and beautiful appliances with intricate details. This combination of modern innovation, good taste in detail, and a few classic and timeless pieces result in a unique kitchen design that is a true inspiration.

The walls are treated with soft white limewash paint and the brass details all over the design add a sense of elegance which pairs nicely with the eye-catching black and white tile flooring. The marble backsplash behind the stove and sink add an elegant touch to the wall surface.

A blue shaker kitchen with a white and gold shaker shelf

In this house in Cardiff, the interior designers used the cabinetry from the Real Shaker kitchen collection, which is economical furniture inspired by authentic shaker carpentry. In the very beginning, deVOL kitchens were designed in a minimal way, without too many cupboards and a kitchen island in the middle, just like in the room below.

The light blue shaker cabinets have a calming effect in the space and even though no upper cabinetry is used to create a calm look, the wall shelving with the gold rail fills the wall space above the counter and offers a perfect spot to add a beautiful selection of kitchen details to make this room unique.

A soft wood kitchen with a long wood peg rail over the counter

The Ellei Home Kitchen features the Sebastian Cox kitchen in white soaped wood, enhanced with white marble counters, a beautiful oak peg rail spreading over the entire space, and a general sense of good taste in objects that turn this interior into a truly bespoke kitchen.

A Jersey kitchen with authentic designs reminiscent of when things were made to last a lifetime

When renovating this Brownstone in Jersey City, the owners made sure to preserve the interiors’ original features. The intricate building details are paired with a classic greige kitchen mixed with some shaker kitchen elements to ensure the highest quality, keep a check on costs, and add variety to the design.

The Arabascato Corchia marble used on the counter also comes back on the backsplash and wall shelf above the stove and the delicate porcelain pendant lights above the kitchen island with seating finish off this space, which was designed for the long run.

The top of the higher cupboards are finished off with kitchen cabinet molding to give them an elegant finish.

A pale blue shaker kitchen with a brass finish

The South Wing Kitchen has amazing original features, which are paired with a simple kitchen layout that doesn’t distract from the intricate details in the building. The chimney holds the cooker and features bespoke brass tiles to give it a modern look. The pale blue cabinets pair up nicely with the elegant off-white walls and the two wall shelves on each side of the chimney are perfect for holding cups and glasses.

A truly bespoke kitchen with red shaker cabinets

The Oxfordshire Farmstead is a truly bespoke kitchen with elaborate pink tiles as the main focal point in the room. The red shaker cabinets and show-stopping tiles are paired up with a wonderful selection of accessories and vintage furniture pieces.

The old prep table in the middle of the kitchen adds authenticity and the touches of warm aged brass from the rails, taps, and hardware tie the design together in a subtle, elegant way.

A blue shaker kitchen against warm beige walls

The teal shaker kitchen in this Regency Terrace in Bristol adds a wonderful cool color tone to the warm beige wall color in this historic place. The large alcove holds larger storage cabinets, while the large kitchen island is the center of the kitchen design. The crystal chandeliers finish the look off and make the space truly bespoke.

If you are a coffee lover like I am, a dedicated coffee station is something that can bring real joy to your mornings. Whether you like to use a French press, an espresso machine, or use a filter setup, a dedicated coffee bar where you can store your beans, filters, prettiest coffee mugs, or milk frother all within easy access is such a great advantage.

You don’t need a large surface to carry out some of the coffee station ideas in the list below. Some coffee makers take up more space than others, however, usually having a dedicated counter space somewhere in your kitchen is sufficient to bring all your coffee essentials together and create a beautiful coffee station.

Take a look at the inspiration below and get ideas on how you can integrate a coffee bar into your own kitchen or dining room. And the good news? You don’t need to be an interior designer to carry out some of these genius ideas!

A kitchen dining room with a small coffee station inside the tall kitchen cupboards

I think this is one of those brilliant coffee station ideas that is truly unique and practical. The small space in between the closed cabinets was left open to pour yourself a cup of coffee from the Moccamaster coffee maker, yet it’s narrow enough not to have to compromise too much cupboard storage space.

The back and side of the niche coffee bar are lined with white tiles with black grout, which gives this area its own finished appearance. It’s such a creative idea and a great use of this kitchen corner.

A hidden coffee station behind a roller cabinet

One of the more subtle coffee bar ideas on the list in this kitchen with a smart corner layout includes a coffee station behind a roller door, with open shelving on top to display pretty cups and ceramics.

Some coffee equipment is pretty, however, if you want to hide your coffee machine away for a clutter-free appearance, placing it behind a cabinet door or roller door in this case still makes it easily accessible. Yet, you can hide it away when it’s not in use.

The corner section of a kitchen is sometimes a lost area that is difficult to make functional, so placing the coffee bar here is a great workaround.

An elegant coffee bar inside a tall cupboard with LED overhead lighting

LED overhead lighting certainly adds some extra elegance to your home coffee station. The niche coffee bar inside of this tall cupboard setup with dark green cabinet doors has a contrasting white counter material on which the coffee maker is placed.

The sides have the same color as the cabinets and LED overhead lighting makes sure the coffee station can be illuminated at night, which is great for making coffee very early in the morning while it’s still dark out.

The coffee bar is close to the kitchen sink on the other wall, which makes it easier to brew yourself a cup of coffee in the morning.

A niche coffee station with floating shelves for coffee mugs

A niche spot in between the main kitchen and the large window is filled with a coffee bar that includes a table-like structure in combination with a wood wall shelf with an integrated peg rail. The contrast between the dark wood tones, the white walls, and the cement flooring works very nicely in this coffee bar and it utilizes an otherwise lost area.

If you want to achieve this look but don’t want to work with a fixed element, you can also use a rolling cart that fits the space and combine it with wall shelves for an easy diy coffee station.

A kitchen corner is turned into a small spot for the coffee machine and a glass cabinet

An awkward corner spot against the wall is the perfect spot for a low kitchen cabinet with a small counter for the coffee maker. The glass cabinet is great for holding coffee supplies, mugs, and coffee accessories. Since the upper cabinet is less deep than the lower one, the view toward the kitchen doesn’t get too obstructed.

The ribbed glass panel inside the door is see-through, yet it makes the contents of the cabinet blurry for a calming effect in the space.

A built-in coffee station inside the wall

This is one of those coffee stations that has been built into the existing layout of the kitchen. The niche in the wall behind the counter has been turned into a coffee station with cabinet doors, which is great for coffee storage.

The area in front of the window of this kitchen has been turned into a cozy window seat with pillows, allowing space on the left side for tall cupboards with lots of storage opportunities and a small spot on the right with dedicated counter space for the espresso machine and coffee grounds.

The elegant floating shelf is perfect to store mugs and a few plants that must thrive next to the window. This setup with the window seat right next to the coffee station is ideal for guests enjoying a freshly brewed cup of coffee in the morning.

A coffee station with an open shelf set in the main kitchen area

While you can create a separate coffee station on a rolling cart or inside of a tall cupboard, like in most of the coffee bar ideas on this list, you can also integrate your coffee bar in the main kitchen area and dedicate some countertop space to your coffee maker.

This beautiful kitchen with pale yellow cabinets and a white shiplap backsplash transforms a niche space next to the tall kitchen cabinets into a coffee station. Adding the two wall shelves works great for glasses, however, it could also be used as a mug rack to quickly grab your morning coffee.

When you are planning your kitchen from scratch, you can include a coffee bar with integrated doors and drawers to store additional coffee supplies away.
