Shop Cherry Kitchen Cabinets

Any kitchen, whether mid-century modern or traditional, will benefit from the beauty of cherry wood kitchen cabinets. This wood species can warm up any space, add personality, and be the main focal point. Cherry is a straight grain hardwood with soft grain patterns that creates a smooth, satin-like appearance. As this material ages, it tends to get darker and more dramatic over time. Almost any hardware finish can be used with this wood like oil-rubbed bronze or brushed nickel depending on the stain chosen.

Traditional-style cherry kitchen cabinets tend to have details like crown molding, decorative corbels, granite countertops, mullion glass doors, and brushed nickel hardware. If you’re looking for a more modern look, however, try using a light or natural cherry wood stain with the slab or shaker door style, minimally patterned quartz countertops, and any matching hardware finish. Transitional style or everything in between can be done with shaker cabinets, either quartz or granite, crown molding, light rail, and complimentary hardware finishes. Make sure the cherry wood kitchen cabinets are the focal point and avoid using other bold colors that could conflict and create an overpowering aesthetic.

Cherry kitchen cabinets can be paired with almost any door style and interior design style. Cherry wood has a softer appearance with some swirling grains and dominant reddish-brown tones. It’s commonly used for fine furniture and other household pieces, so any door style from contemporary slab doors to traditional raised doors will look beautiful. 

Existing cherry wood kitchens can be lightened up with brighter surroundings such as white, cream, beige, and light gray paint. Adding lighter tile backsplashes can also help along with increasing your task and ambient lighting. For new cherry wood kitchen cabinet remodels, use a light or natural stain because cherry naturally darkens as it ages. This will still give you the beauty of cherry wood cabinets while maintaining a brighter look and feel.
