4 Kitchen Cabinet Styles to Consider for Your Next Remodel.

Realize the kitchen of your dreams.


.
"The cabinet door style is the single largest decision for the overall style of your kitchen," explains architect and designer Anastasia Harrison, owner and creative director of AHD&Co and a pro at more than 50 kitchen renovations. Unfortunately, if you don't know your Shaker from your slab, picking a kitchen cabinet style can rapidly become daunting. We've focused on what you need to know about kitchen cabinet styles so you can find the ideal fit for your house, saving you some of that stress.
Framed vs. Frameless Cabinets.


Cabinet construction comes in two flavors: framed and frameless. At the front of the cabinet box, where the doors and hinges join, framed cabinets include an additional face frame. You can choose from full overlay, partial overlay, or inset doors when using framed cabinets. The doors in overlay designs sit atop the cabinet frame. The doors of inset cabinets (like the ones displayed above) are placed into the cabinet frame so that, when closed, they sit flush with the frame. Although inset cabinets have a more traditional appearance, they can be more expensive (and offer a bit less storage) due to the additional work needed to ensure a flawless door/frame fit.
Full overlay doors on frameless cabinets, which originated in Europe but have grown in favor in the U.S., are hinged to the cabinet box directly on the inside. If you're trying to increase the amount of storage in your kitchen, frameless cabinets can seem more modern and have a little more interior room.

There are various popular door styles to pick from within those two categories of cabinet construction.

Shaker Style Cabinets



 -style cabinets are cherished for thei adaptability and timeless appearance, but cleaning them may be difficult since dirt and grime can gather on the interior of the frame. Even so, this kitchen chameleon will complement practically any style and look stylish for a very long time if you're okay with the maintenance.s.The most popular cabinet door type is Shaker, which has simple, timeless lines and looks great in spaces with modern, transitional, or traditional aesthetics. A Shaker door, which is sometimes referred to as a "five-piece," is simply a flat panel with a frame made of rails and stiles.







                  






Slab Cabinet     Doors.You probably think slab cabinet doors when you picture a modern, sleek kitchen. This design of cabinets, also referred to as flat panel cabinets, is made of a single, smooth sheet of MDF, plywood, or wood. Flat panels come in a range of veneers and finishes, including natural wood tones and glossy white, gray, or colored lacquer. The plain cabinet front creates a clean background for statement hardware or looks elegant without any hardware on display.






There are several looks for flat panel cabinets besides the stark, minimalist aesthetic that is sometimes associated with them. According to Harrison, "This minimalist-style cabinet can be warmed up with different colors or wood finishes." For instance, the light and dark features of a wood like black walnut give warmth and intrigue. Furthermore, despite their upscale appearance, flat panel cabinets don't have to break the bank. "A modern flat-front cabinet door can be very cost-effective," claims Harrison. "Wood can be pricey, but there are excellent laminates that look just as good on flat panel cabinets as the real thing—at a fraction of the cost.

Traditional Cabinet Doors

Traditional cabinets typically have raised rather than flat center panels and a warmer color scheme, frequently wood tones. Additionally available are glazes and antique treatments. Traditional cabinetry frequently has arches, curving accents, or other flourishes, unlike the simpler, squared-off Shaker-style cabinet. Traditional cabinets "might not be the way to go if you're looking for a light and airy feel," warns Harrison.Consider using beadboard kitchen cabinets if you want to give your new kitchen a charming cottage or contemporary farmhouse atmosphere. These cabinets, which are modeled after classic beadboard used on walls, can fit in either a modern or a traditional home, according to Harrison.
