Shaker Kitchen Cabinet Doors
Shaker doors are the classic staple of the modern kitchen remodel. With a simple front and clean, crisp lines, shaker doors are often the go-to choice for timeless interior design and can be crafted from any material, such as stunning maple wood shaker cabinets.
Shaker doors can be used for either double- or single-swing doors and are suitable for almost any cabinetry fixture. They are popularly used for bathroom, bar, or kitchen cabinet doors.
The hallmarks of the shaker door are simple square or rectangular indents with flat insets, edges and a flat panel profile. The simple and clean style also provides a neutral, classic look that pairs well with practically any style of kitchen cabinet handle. With this “clean front” design, shaker doors are a fantastic choice if you’re looking for a kitchen remodel that will stay fresh and never look overly dated.
Shaker doors come in every possible color so can be selected in any design to match your chosen style or theme, but they are a common choice for modern, mid-century modern, European, and minimalist styles.
Inset or Recessed Panel Doors
“Inset,” “transitional,” or recessed panel doors are a specific type of shaker door that features a slightly recessed center panel. While shaker cabinets have a clean cut, 90-degree inset panel, recessed panels instead have an angled seam or a slightly beveled edge. This difference between the shaker and recessed panel doors is related to the construction method and creates two distinguished styles that are both popular for kitchens.
Recessed panel doors are a great option for storage cabinets, bathrooms and kitchen cabinets. Like shaker doors, recessed panel doors come in numerous kitchen cabinet colors and with its simple but classic style, it can blend into various kitchen styles. Recessed panel style is another great choice for a simple, minimalistic or clean appearance. With its clean lines but beveled design, this cabinet choice is also great for more traditional or farmhouse style kitchens.
Traditional or Raised Panel Doors
A raised panel door is another traditional kitchen cabinet style that comprises a five-piece door make-up that includes a rectangular frame, smaller cut-out recessed frame, and a middle panel that is raised higher than the surrounding wood. The resulting design is a cabinet door that provides depth and dimension, decorative edges, and a more intricate exterior design than shaker doors.
This classic cabinet style is traditionally fabricated from wood, but can be designed using a range of materials. Classy and versatile, raised panel kitchen cabinet doors are a perfect choice for contractors or homeowners looking for a design that complements classical architecture, adds a vintage feel to newer homes, or enhances a Mediterranean or farmhouse-style kitchen or living area.
Slab Kitchen Cabinet Doors
Clean, smooth, and unadorned, slab kitchen cabinet doors are the most simple design choice. A slab style cabinets are simply a plain, flat panel with no cuts, beveling or indentations. You can add a dimensional element with your kitchen cabinet hardware.
While simple, slab doors have become popular in recent bathroom and kitchen design trends due to their unmistakably sleek and trendy design that seems to instantly and effectively upgrade and update the style of a room.
Almost literally used as a blank canvas, slab kitchen cabinet doors offer a smooth surface that give a polished and pristine look to your entire kitchen. As a homeowner or contractor, slab kitchen cabinet doors are your perfect design choice if your kitchen design features an accent color or an eye-catching backsplash, or if you’re looking for a simple, but brilliant way to give your remodel a transformative update.
The smooth surface of slab doors highlights the color or material without overwhelming the overall look and will pair well with nearly any style of kitchen cabinet handle or knob. Furthermore, in their easy simplicity, they are a complementary choice for a kitchen that is already busy, elaborately decorated, or full of appliances.
Slab kitchen cabinet doors work well for modern, contemporary, Scandinavian, and minimalist bathrooms and kitchens.
