Cabinet Styles

Since there are so many styles to choose from, we’ve put together a list of the best types of cabinet styles. Each of these can bring a fresh look to your kitchen while maintaining space for your things.

Shaker

Shaker-style cabinets are the ones you probably see the most. They’re a five-piece door with a recessed center panel. They are versatile and can work well with many kinds of kitchens.

Flat or Slab

Flat or slab cabinets are modern-looking, clean, and minimalist. They feature a flat and smooth surface without intricate details. They are ideal for modern and contemporary kitchens.

Raised Panel

Raised panel style doors are a traditional cabinet style with a raised center panel. This helps add depth and dimension to your cabinet doors.

Beadboard

This style features vertical grooves or bead-like detailing on the doors, which creates a charming look for your cottage-style kitchen.

Glass Front

Fairly self-explanatory, glass front cabinets have a frame with a pane of glass in the center. This allows you to display certain items or dishes.

Cabinet Finishes

After you’ve chosen your style of cabinet, it’s time to decide on the finish! You can complete your kitchen's new look with different stains, colors, and wood species available.

Natural Wood

Natural wood showcases the natural grain of the wood that you’ve chosen and provides a warm and classic look.

Painted & Two Toned

There are several paint options from our manufacturers that can add style and color to a bland home. Use the same color, accent colors, or different color schemes to make your kitchen as unique as you are. Two-toned looks can help make a dynamic color combination between paints, natural wood, or other finishes.

Glazed

Choosing a glazed finish means a layer of glaze is applied to the wood to create highlights and shadows. It adds depth and complexity to your finish.

Distressed

If you like the weathered look, choose a distressed finish. It mimics the look of wear and tear for rustic or vintage styles. The imperfections add character and charm.

Stained

Stained finishes enhance the natural beauty of your cabinet wood, giving it a little extra color, depending on the stain you choose. This helps your cabinet have a warm, rich look. \
