Choosing the ideal cabinet door style for your cabinet doors substantially impacts the overall appearance of your kitchen, bathroom, or office. There are multiple cabinet door styles to choose from that fit different design styles. To ensure that you can obtain the preferred style of cabinet door for your needs, here is a breakdown of popular door styles we install for clients.
1- Flat Panel Cabinet Doors
Flat panel cabinet doors have a frame, but the center panel is flat and is the same thickness as the surrounding frame. These flat panel doors are often able to provide a sleek, clean appearance for your cabinets. Flat doors can look best in a bathroom because they help the space to feel relaxing. A flat panel cabinet door provides a very versatile appearance, so it can mesh well with many different styles.
2- Open Frame Style
This cabinet door style leaves the middle section open so that you will be able to see inside the cabinets. There are just four small wood or metal sections that cover the cabinet opening and the center allows you to display decorative items or glassware inside the cabinet.
Open frames are also used when you have glass cabinet doors. Instead of an open center, glass or stained glass is put in the center of the structured frame.
3- Raised Panel Cabinet Doors
Raised panel cabinet doors also have a frame. Raised panels are thicker in the center and taper down to meet the frame. They are typically made from solid wood and crafted to create this look. These cabinet doors are often used for traditional styles of rooms or contemporary homes.
4- Slab Cabinet Doors
Slab doors are used in modern homes because they are sleek and minimal. They are typically built from plywood or softer wood types with edge banding covering the sides. It can also be made from a solid piece of wood and has rounded edges that make the doors look more raised from the base cabinets.
5- Louvered Style
Several slats are applied in the center of the cabinet door horizontally. Each slate is angled downward to create the illusion of overlapping. These slates help let air into the cabinet to prevent moisture damage. These slates can be made out of metal, wood, or plastic and fit perfectly into a farmhouse-style home.
6- Cathedral Or Arch Cabinet Doors
These doors feature a panel with an arched or curved top that looks like architecture in a cathedral. A double arch that occurs at the top and bottom of the cabinet panel is also an option when you decide to install cathedral cabinet doors. It may seem like an outdated style to some, but this cabinet style is still found in homes today.
7- Accent Door Styles
Accent cabinet doors aren’t used throughout the entire area. They are used on specific cabinets in order to provide a decorative accent. These are commonly glass doors, mullion doors, or various other door styles. Accent cabinet doors can create a beautiful appearance for the entire room, as well as draw focus to a particular point. It is best for homeowners to use them sparingly, or it may ruin the unique feel.
