Kitchen Cabinet Door Styles

Rated 4.9 out of 5from 121 customer reviews

Slate-blue shaker cabinets with reeded glass-insert upper doors, granite counters and an exposed brick backsplashDark cherry raised-panel cabinets running two walls of a kitchen, with a carved border on every door and brushed-nickel handles

Five styles, all made in North America and cut to fit the cabinet boxes already in your kitchen — and the handles that finish them. The door is the decision that changes how the room reads, and, along with the material, the thing that moves a refacing project through its price range. We bring the samples to you, so you choose in your own light rather than under a showroom’s.

Choose Your Door

Every one of these comes in a range of finishes and colors. Which finishes are available depends on the style, and that is a conversation for the estimate rather than a list to memorise.

  • A shaker cabinet door and drawer front in natural cherry, with a flat frame around a recessed center panel

    Shaker

    A flat frame around a recessed center panel — the plainest of the framed doors, and the reason it suits almost every kitchen. Painted white or grey it reads modern; in a wood finish it reads traditional. If you are not sure what you want, this is the one that will still look right in ten years.

  • A recessed-panel cabinet door and drawer front in natural cherry, with a plain frame and a set-back center panel

    Recessed Panel

    A straightforward frame with the center panel set back from it. Close cousin to the shaker, with a little more shape in the frame, and it takes its character from the finish and the hardware rather than from the profile. A safe choice that does not look like a safe choice.

  • A raised-panel cabinet door and drawer front in natural cherry, the center panel standing proud of a carved border

    Raised Panel

    The center panel stands up level with the frame, leaving a carved border around it, and the same detail carries onto the drawer fronts. The more intricate the carving, the more traditional the room feels. It is the most popular style we install, and not the most expensive.

  • A flat-panel slab cabinet door and drawer front in natural cherry, with no frame or center panel

    Flat Panel

    Also called a slab door: one uncut surface, no frame, no panel. The modern choice, and the easiest to keep clean because there is no profile for anything to collect in. Matte reads soft and architectural; gloss reads sharp and reflects the room back at you.

  • A glass-insert cabinet door with a clear pane set into a natural cherry frame, above a matching drawer front

    Glass Insert

    A glass pane in place of the center panel, for the two or three cabinets worth opening up. Clear glass shows everything, so it wants a tidy shelf; frosted or etched gives you the light without the audit. Frosted with painted doors reads modern, etched with wood reads traditional.

  • A hand opening a new white cabinet door with a slim black bar pull

    Knobs & Pulls

    Not a door style — the part you touch every day, and the one most people leave to last. Knobs suit framed doors and traditional rooms; bar pulls suit slab and shaker fronts and are kinder when your hands are full. Finish decides more than shape: matte black reads modern, brushed brass warm, satin nickel quiet. Installed as part of the refacing, so nothing is left for you to do afterwards.

Wood and wood veneer

Real timber, in the framed styles — shaker, recessed panel, raised panel and the glass-insert frames. Grain shows through the finish, so no two doors are quite identical, and a stain reads with depth in a way paint cannot imitate. It is what you want if the room is meant to feel traditional, or if you like wood.

It is also the material that takes carving, which is why the most detailed raised-panel profiles are only available here. Wood moves a little with the seasons; in a kitchen that is normal and invisible, and it is the reason a solid door outlives the house it was installed in.

Thermoplastic

A molded surface fused over an engineered core, and the honest answer to why so many modern kitchens are not solid wood. It takes color absolutely evenly — a true flat white, a high gloss, a matte with no grain reading through it — and it does not move with humidity at all.

It wipes clean, which matters more than it sounds on a door beside a range, and it costs less than the equivalent in timber. What it will not do is look like wood close up. If the kitchen is meant to read modern rather than traditional, that is not a loss.

Cabinet Door Questions

Raised panel, by a distance, and it is not the most expensive of the five. The carved border reads as traditional and it flatters the kind of kitchen most Long Island houses already have. Shaker is second and closing, because it suits both a traditional room and a modern one depending on how it is finished.
