My personal favorite is seeded glass. Its obscure but still classy and beautiful.

What level of opacity/blurriness are you looking for? There is reed glass:

Here are around a hundred different options:

I use wood.

(I had to say it. Hope you're having fun project McWall.)

There are so many types of textured glass, but all of them are translucent, meaning you can see the outline of what's behind them. If that is what you want, then seedy or wavy glass are the most traditional, as that is what glass was back in the day.

If you want totally opaque, then you could use any type of glass with shirred fabric panels inside. That would give you a very traditional and warm look.

Thanks all! I have decided to only add glass to the upper part of 2 doors flanking the range. There is no real way to do this and not see everyday ingredients. Except of course wood ... ha ha Mark! The fabric is not right either in this case. I have done clear glass in a home in all uppers where the client truly didn't mind seeing it all. And it works for her! She was honoring the space as a real working kitchen and it makes the room feel very casual and welcoming.

Here is the look we are going for in the uppers on this new English Manor project.

BTW Mark, the downtown project I worked on where we discovered the Mail Pouch Tobacco advertisement has sold and it is in the hands of another mutual friend.

I used glass doored cabinets for the ones that hold my dishes/crystal glassware. Cabinets that hold dry staples have wood doors. Fancy glass is expensive and sort of defeats the entire point of glass doors on cabinets. They can make ones room feel wider/longer (as one sees another 12-14") and they break up all that sea of cabinets.

Here is how mine look:

Honestly, I hate the glass most of the time.. Always turns out to be more trouble than it's worth, Needs to be lit to show off crystal. Most folks aren't neat enough, or don't bother to flick a switch.........or don't collect a thing worth storing in them. .......beyond white dishware. Or here it's Makenzie Childs which simply will not DIE.

If you want light bouncing around? Use quality mirror instead. You can't see a darn thing, and you alleviated the wood. Where appropriate, etc and dependent on cabinet style. Easy to clean. What can I say ? lol

I thought OP was looking for really hard to find glass, not glass that obscures things. Need. More. Coffee.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh no, Jan, not mirror. I really don't want to see myself reflected all over the kitchen. It's bad enough in the bathroom (!)

LOL At the top........... : ) O very limited at a bar with divided lights Think of it as a furniture look. Don't go near the spot unless dressed for the dining room : )

HAHAHA!!!

I thought the same thing ... and I don't drink coffee.

Several thoughts -- the OP wants classy and traditional, with no see-through:

- The idea of mirrors instead of glass is very good ... but only for upper-upper cabinets. As in over everyone's head cabinets.

- No one's mentioned stained glass cabinet doors. Kinda out of style right now, but very traditional. I love them.

- You can use glass -- of whatever type -- in only a few carefully chosen cabinets, those in which you plan to store pretty glasses, etc. But keep most of the cabinet doors solid /practical.

- You could make the glass portion smaller ... doesn't completely hide the cabinet contents, but it does keep the focus on the cabinet, not the glass. Here's an inspiration pix I've had for a while.

I have receded glass I’ve loved for years in my farmhouse kitchen with barn red cabinets but I too want the clutter to disappear and I’m starting by painting cabinets white. I’m considering putting decorative aluminum sheeting behind the glass, possibly clover-shaped or cane style until just now I saw a frosted stick-on sheet that is 100% obscure. I love that idea and will buy some to try it. So I will kind of have my cake and eat it too, with the pretty reflections on the reeded glass from outside but no clutter from the inside.
