Kitchen cabinets that aren't shaker or plain?

I'm looking for kitchen cabinets that aren't shaker or just plain. Looking for something that will give the vibe of a Parisian apartment but nothing too fussy. Thanks

Could you describe what you are looking for? It’s probably more about how you design and style the kitchen and the room than the actual unit.
White door with a little detail for example DIY kitchens Silsden? I think a plain or Shaker cabinet in white would be fine tbh.

I think I want it with thin raised beading, pale colour, to look coordinated with sash windows

That picture is lovely by the way

Also if you have any ideas for large sliding doors that don't look too modern I'd be grateful!

I would do french doors for period property. Sliding doors will surely always look modern.

I have added decorative moulding onto shaker type cupboards in past to give a more period look, albeit not kitchen units but if you got ones that need painting it could work. However I think Notme is correct it is more about overall look/effect/worktop/colour than the beading

I know, but it's a whole wall of glass at the moment so I don't know if you can get traditional ones that big?

I've been looking and some of the shaker ones have beading but not quite found the right thing yet. Thanks for your help

Burbidge kitchens have some designs with a little detail on the frame.
French doors are more traditional. Look on Pinterest or Google Imagesfor “Cuisines Paris Appartements” for inspiration.

I think this would actually do the job, it's a shame we're not ready to buy yet as it's so cheap!

I had my french doors made to in wood with glass panels to match the glass panels on my sash windows and the doors are huge/very high in proportion with the high ceilings

Thanks, budget is flexible as we don't actually have many units it's just the floor space that's big. Now thinking we should replace pvc windows as the rest of the house has sash...
