    I have the same White Gloss handleless kitchen.
    Looking at the door, it's impossible to guess which side is hinged. Trying to pull the wrong side results in broken fingernails.
    When my relatives are staying-over, I affix a self-adhesive coloured disc to each door to show where a handle would be.
  • It's an OK kitchen. Painting the doors or adding handles will make it worse, not better.

    Leave it be.

    You've hit the nail on the head there. 

    The doors themselves can't look better, but the room could.

    I think you'd need to be careful with the choice of handles else they may end up being fairly low on the doors as you wouldnt want them floating over the finger groves. 

    I personally dont like J groove handless doors... if you are going handless it should be the full deal and you just have to bite the bullet on paying more for a "knock to open" dishwasher etc to have the near grooveless look
