The most cost effective option, the laminate door can be the feature of the kitchen or just blend in with the entire scheme. With so many colour selections available, many designers love using laminate to create very original colour schemes.
Laminate Doors with a PVC or a rolled edge can now minimize chipping on the edges making them much more durable.
Laminate is only available in a "flat" door with no profile.

A Flat door with a thin layer of natural timber adhered to it then sealed with a couple of layers of polyurethane. A very popular modern look however can be nearly as costly as solid timber due to the polyurethane finishing.

A couple of glass fronted doors can break the monotony in a straight row of cupboards. Used to showcase some treasure items, a feature glass cabinet may be in the same material as surrounding cupboards or in something of a contrast such as Aluminium frames or timber. Note - make sure attention is paid to the internal carcass colour as most carcasses are assumed to be white.Glass may also vary in degree of visibility, for example clear or frosted.

Basically this is a door made from MDF with a profile and edge cut out of into it. A layer of "viny" membrane is then heat shrunk over the door giving a moisture resistant , durable and easy clean surface. Available in a multitude of colours and now available in a gloss finish which is proving to be a more cost effective and durable surface than "emporite" or "2-pack".

The "painted" door gives you the option of having virtually any colour you could wish for and also have a profiled door. It is probably the most expensive option as doors must be sprayed in a booth similar to a car. Gloss finishes are highly attractive although not as friendly to wear and tear.

Doors can be mixed and matched- How about a couple of feature timber glass doors in the laminate kitchen to tie in the timber floor, perhaps a few shades of the one colour amongst the doors. Perhaps a contrast for the drawers?
