Whatever your type of kitchen, one thing is certain: the need for cabinets. Designing a project that works and can fit all the equipment, food, and ingredients can be a difficult task depending on the space available. Often, along with countertops and other coverings, cabinets are responsible for setting the tone for this environment, revealing the importance of good design.

Below, we have selected twenty Brazilian projects that illustrate different ways of designing kitchen furniture. To make the most of these references, we recommend that you pay attention to the different uses of materials, from wood to colored formica. It is necessary to understand the details of the handles, the use of glass to expose elements that deserve to be highlighted, the need for closed furniture to maintain better hygiene of the rooms – as well as the inclusion of respirators to guarantee the internal circulation of air – the way in which the coverings of the architecture itself can be appropriated by the interior design, the composition made between shelves and cabinets, and also paying attention to the contrasts that can be achieved when furniture design.
