Choosing the Right Cabinet Door Styles for Your Kitchen Remodel

The type of door style you choose for your kitchen cabinetry can be one of the most important factors in your remodeling project. Door styles set the tone for your kitchen, as they are one of the most visible design elements in the room. They can also be one of the most expensive elements of a kitchen remodel, but the good news is there are numerous options that fit just about any budget. Keep reading to learn about some of the most popular door styles there are, and how they can impact the look and feel of your home.

Shaker

This is one of the most common door styles in kitchens today. Considered a very classic design, shaker-style cabinet doors feature a five-piece flat-panel frame: a single flat center panel with four pieces framing it. Depending on the type of wood used, shaker-style cabinet doors can work for a variety of budgets and can look good in any kitchen thanks to their simple appearance.

Louvered

This style visually resembles shutters and is in fact mostly used on windows and furniture pieces. However, the look of horizontal wood slats can add a very distinct architectural feel to your kitchen cabinetry. Many louvered doors have spaces between each slat, making them ideal if they require ventilation, such as cabinets that may be directly over your stovetop.

Flat

Flat doors usually come in decorative laminate or wood. Laminate is a fairly budget-friendly choice, but no matter what material you choose this look is simple and stylish. It features hard lines and minimalist form, making it a great fit for contemporary and modern kitchen designs.

Inset

This cabinet style gets its name because it is set inside of the cabinet frame rather than resting on the outside of the frame like traditional cabinet doors. The doors are designed and constructed with extremely precise measurements so that they nest inside the frame and open and close properly. This is an ideal choice for homeowners who have a higher budget for their kitchen remodeling project.
