10 Favorite Cabinet Door Styles

It’s no secret we’re passionate about custom cabinetry. Every project begins with thoughtfully selecting cabinet door styles that complement the home’s unique architecture and design aesthetic. Sometimes, that means mixing a few different styles within a single room or throughout the home for added depth and character. Today, we’re sharing our go-to cabinet door styles for kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, and home offices.

Cabinetry sets the tone for the entire space, especially in the kitchen. As one of the most lasting design elements in the home, it serves as the foundation upon which all other finishes are built. The right door style, wood species, or paint color doesn’t just complete the design, it defines it.

Slab Door Style

Sleek, contemporary, modern. Slab cabinetry is a flat front door or drawer front. In our Deephaven Drive project slab cabinet door style allowed the custom quartered red elm veneer grain to carry from floor to ceiling without interruption.

Bevel Door Style

Clean lines like the Shaker style that has become increasingly popular, but with a subtle bevel to beautifully accomplish an updated traditional cabinet. A bevel cabinet door style, as seen in the Princeton Avenue project, has a soft gradation from the top stile and rail to the flat interior panel.

Ogee Door Style

Often seen with a raised center panel, we like to modernize the traditional Ogee cabinet door style front with a flat panel. This door style is perfect for bringing older homes into the 21st Century.

Shaker Door Style

Plain and simple shaker-style cabinets became very popular in the last 10 years. Approachable and timeless with clean lines. It’s essentially a box frame on top of a flat interior panel. No-fuss and a beautiful middle ground to incorporate into many design styles.

Skinny Shaker Door Style

A skinny shaker cabinet door is a modern twist on the classic Shaker style. It features the same clean, recessed center panel but with narrower stiles and rails, the frame around the panel typically around 1 to 1.5 inches wide instead of the traditional 2 to 2.5 inches. As featured in our Bentwood Drive remodel.

Reeded Door Style

Reeded cabinetry is quickly becoming a defining design trend of the 2020s, mark our words! With its hand-crafted texture, soft curves, and playful yet polished appeal, it brings instant character to any space. We love incorporating reeded fronts on bathroom vanities or using them as eye-catching accents on shelving and fixed panels. It’s a look that’s equal parts timeless and on-trend, and we can’t get enough.

Inset Door Style

Inset cabinetry is a highly crafted cabinet style. Each door and drawer sits within the frame to create a flush appearance, making perfect measurements critical. This cabinet style comes at a premium due to its required craftsmanship and the additional time it takes to build and install correctly. This design style will outlive any trend.

V Groove Door Style

Creating vertical lines, continuous from one door or drawer front to the next is a mix of contemporary and rustic design. This non-traditional cabinet door style is non-traditional and is a great accent to add texture and linear eye lines to bathrooms, kitchens, and mudroom cabinetry.

Applied Moulding Door Style

Applied Moulding cabinet doors are an extra piece of moulding applied to the stile and rail of a face frame. This design style is perfect for an updated traditional design in kitchens and home offices.

Glass Cabinet Insert

Show ’em what you got! Glass cabinetry is great to allow light to spread throughout the space. Incorporating glass cabinetry in a room full of cabinetry allows the space to feel lighter without sacrificing storage. There are ways to personalize glass for your design aesthetic by using clear, seeded, reeded, frosted, or colored glass.

Ventilation Cut Outs

Back before the magic of climate control and refrigerators, cabinets came with little ventilation holes to let air circulate and keep stored food from spoiling. These days? It’s all for looks – but we still love the charm they add!
