Kitchen facade color - how to choose the right option? (+70 photos)


Furniture kitchen fronts can be installed on new sets or used to update old kitchen furniture. This section presents all types of facades that we use. Decor collections are constantly updated, and therefore the full and current range of colors can be viewed in our showrooms.

More information about our kitchen fronts

The Kitchen-Everything factory offers furniture doors made from the following types of materials: Solid oak, laminated chipboard, MDF and Plastic.

You can order facades from us in both standard and non-standard sizes; for reference, the most common sizes are:

  • 716mm×296mm
  • 716mm×396mm
  • 716mm×496mm
  • 716mm×596mm

When measuring facades yourself, be sure to take into account the gaps between the doors, for example, if the cabinet has a size of 700x600 mm, the required facade size will be: 696x596 mm -1 piece for a single-leaf version and 696x296 mm -2 pieces for a double-leaf version. The required gap between the doors is 4mm, and from the edge of the door to the edge of the body is 2mm.

You can buy kitchen doors separately from the furniture itself at the prices given in the price list for facades. We remind you that if you want to buy a ready-made kitchen with a complete set, see the main price list of the Kitchen-Everything store. Detailed photos and descriptions of various types of facades are posted below.

Kitchen fronts made of chipboard with a glossy UV varnish coating.

Glossy chipboard facades are made on the basis of “Alternative” varnished boards,

supplied to Russian. High-gloss boards coated with UV varnish are an excellent solution for creating kitchen furniture facades. These facades are highly resistant to damage and have a stable glossy surface throughout their entire service life. As the name implies, UV varnish is applied to a chipboard board (its thickness is 16 mm).

The ends of the facades can be finished with a two-color 3D edge, or PVC edge, repeating the decor of the facade material.

The cost of kitchen sets with chipboard-LAK facades, of course, is significantly higher than the prices for simple kitchens made of chipboard; strictly speaking, sets coated with UV varnish can already be attributed to the premium segment of furniture, but at the same time, “chipboard-LAK kitchens” turn out to be still noticeably cheaper than the very similar “MDF-LAK kitchens”. To create headset projects in various designs and colors, and instantly calculate the price, as always, we suggest working in our unique online kitchen calculator.

Please take a look at the catalog of decors of UV varnished chipboards, some colors can be successfully combined with each other

in one project.

Attention: the cost of a kitchen with combined facades can be increased by UP TO 20%!

Mirror decor

Additionally, the mirror facade can be decorated using the following technologies:

  1. Sandblasting patterns - this method will provide the doors with an original look. You can use it to decorate a wardrobe with frosted glass. Variations with this decor are very diverse, so sliding wardrobes with a pattern on the mirror can be placed both in a classic style interior and in a modern one.
  2. Half-timbering is a design technique in which mirrors are framed with wooden frames painted in the color of the body. Such products look impressive, stylish and unusual.
  3. Photo printing is a printing method that allows you to create an individual, unique design, since it makes it possible to choose any image for the design of the facade.
  4. Painting – involves applying the author's painting to the mirror. You can also decorate elements made of MDF in this way.
  5. Stained glass is a decorative method at an affordable price. A glass sheet with an applique will allow you to create a luxurious façade. This is not stained glass in the classical sense, but provided it is done well, the differences are almost invisible.
  6. Tinting involves gluing a film onto the surface of the mirror. It does not completely cover the mirror facades, but gives a tint and makes them translucent.
  7. The engraving on the mirror looks very original. To decorate the surface, a special engraving machine is used. This method allows you to get a realistic drawing.

Kitchen facades made of MDF-Frame.

“MDF-Frame” facades for inexpensive economy-class kitchen furniture are a rectangular frame made of MDF profile with a decorative insert, assembled using special glue and Hoffman dovetail dovetails.

Details about frame facades The inside of the frame is filled with a decorative insert made of 4 mm HDF (high pressure fiberboard) or laminated chipboard 10 mm thick. Corrugated glass with a “Crizet” texture (similar to a waffle towel) is installed in the display facades. For additional gluing and filling of voids, the groove of the frame profile is filled with silicone sealant before installing the insert. The cross-section of the MDF profile has a rectangular or semi-circular shape. The color range of MDF frame facades produced at the Kitchen-Everything factory includes beautiful wood and combined plain textures, which you can see below.

Interior location

Sliding wardrobes vary in size, number of doors and arrangement of mirror elements. How and where it is best to place the product depends on these factors:

  1. In the living room, it is recommended to install a wardrobe with beveled mirrors along the wall, so the room will seem much freer. Behind the doors you can not only put things away, but also install a TV or even organize an office. If the room is small, then placement in the corner is acceptable.
  2. In the hallway (if dimensions allow) you can install a two-door corner wardrobe, which is spacious enough to accommodate many items. A straight, full-wall model would also work well. In a small hallway, cabinets with one or two mirrored fronts look good.
  3. A wardrobe with a mirror panel is suitable for the bedroom. It is better to install furniture along the wall. If the room is small, then corner placement is acceptable. You can use decor with matte areas, photo printing and engraving.

If the wardrobe model does not fit the interior design of the room, then this can be corrected with the help of decor. For example, engraving allows you to change the appearance of a product and fit it into any environment.

Kitchen facades made of plastic.

The plastic facades used by our factory in the production of economy-class kitchen furniture are made using postforming

, the meaning of which lies in a special method of gluing a base made of chipboard or MDF with a sheet of plastic of various colors.

More details about plastic facades for the kitchen A distinctive feature of such facades is the characteristic bend of the edge of the canvas, due to which the furniture door acquires high decorative properties. The plastic coating has a glossy sheen and a visual sensation of pearlescent color depth, the finished canvases for the manufacture of such facades are produced in Italy, at the Kitchen-Everything factory they only cut these panels into blanks and edge the horizontal ends with PVC edging. Available plastic decors are divided into two groups: glossy with deep texture

and
glossy colored plain ones.
In the Kitchen-Everything online store you can buy plastic facades as semi-finished products, or equip them with ready-made models of sets of our production.

Advantages and disadvantages

The mirrored sliding wardrobe is equipped with sliding doors mounted on special guide systems. The model of a wardrobe with mirror surfaces has its pros and cons. Among the advantages of the product it is worth noting the following:

  1. Furniture visually expands the space, which is especially important for small rooms. This allows you to create a more comfortable environment in the room.
  2. Saves space due to the absence of swing doors.
  3. Such models tend to fit well into any type of interior design.
  4. The internal volume of the cabinet allows you to store many different things.
  5. Eliminates the need to install separate mirrors.
  6. A variety of shades makes it possible to choose a product to suit every taste and embody original design ideas.
  7. The interior item has a long service life with proper care.
  8. Mirror facades are considered relatively inexpensive.
  9. Thanks to mirror surfaces that reflect light, the room becomes brighter.

The safety of the furniture is ensured by a special protective film. Even if the mirror falls out, it will not fall into pieces.

Mirrored wardrobes also have disadvantages:

  • the sliding door opening system can quickly fail if plastic or a low-quality metal alloy was used for its manufacture;
  • additional light sources will be required if the piece of furniture is placed in a dark room;
  • mirror surfaces of the facade require more careful maintenance.

Regardless of the pros and cons, sliding wardrobes with mirrored doors are very popular. The versatility of furniture and the ability to save space attracts special attention from consumers to this model.

Features of care and selection criteria

Doors with a mirror for a wardrobe will last longer if you take proper care of them:

  • mirror surfaces of furniture located in rooms with high humidity should be treated with a special product containing wax;
  • resistance to moisture is also provided by coating with a gelatin solution;
  • A special glass and mirror cleaner, as well as a soft cloth, will help you clean the mirror without streaks.

It is worth protecting not only the facade, but also the body of the product from direct exposure to moisture. Otherwise, there is a risk of unsightly stains appearing on its surface.

You should choose a mirror cabinet based on the following criteria:

  • features of the use of the room;
  • dimensions and style of the product.

A two-door wardrobe is perfect for a child's room, while a four-door wardrobe will look better in a living room or bedroom.

Mirror inserts on facades have another important parameter - the thickness of the glass. It is better to give preference to more durable thickened options. The style of the room is also important. For the modern trend, combinations of glass and metal are recommended. A cabinet with mirrored elements of strict shapes will fit better into a classic interior. A wardrobe in the Provence style is often chosen for girls' children's rooms. Boys like photo printing that complements the high-tech interior.

The quality of furniture manufacturing is no less important, because the service life of the product depends on this factor. It is worth carefully inspecting the closet. There should be no chips or cracks on it, the sashes move freely along the guides. If there are drawers, then you need to check how the mechanism works. You should not immediately choose the cheapest or most expensive model. As a rule, such extremes are not justified. It is best to focus on the average price category.

A sliding wardrobe with a mirror can fit into almost any interior, subject to proper selection. It is important to pay attention to the dimensions of the product and its design. In addition, we must not forget about proper care, then the furniture will not lose its decorative and functional qualities for as long as possible.
