Even the most beautiful cabinets could benefit from the added interest that comes with glass cabinet doors. Glass is the perfect way to create an airy open-shelving look and feel, while still protecting dishes from dust.

Here are some things to consider when choosing cabinet glass:

• Transparent or lightly textured glass will show off a well-curated cabinet display

• Opaque or highly textured glass will just give a hint to the cabinet contents

• Patterns like Reed and Crossreed fit well in a modern environment

• Patterns like Gluechip and Rain offer a traditional look

• Patterns like Satin Etch or Seedy are consistently classic choices

• Clear glass is an option that shouldn’t be overlooked
