Listed below are different cabinet styles, have a look at them and choose the cabinet design that fits your preferences.
Frameless vs. Framed Cabinets
Cabinets can be framed or frameless. A framed cabinet contains a face frame in front of the cabinet where doors and hinges attach. These cabinets offer you three choices of partial overlay, inset doors, or overlay.
Overlay styles allow the door to stay above the frame of the cabinet. Inset style has doors set in the frame of the cabinet to sit flush when it’s closed. Although the inset gives an amazing look, it can be more expensive. Inset styles require a lot of work to make sure the frame fits perfectly.
A frameless cabinet has full overlay doors. These doors attach to the interior of the cabinets using door hinges. A frameless cabinet offers more space compared to framed cabinets. Frameless cabinets also have a more contemporary look.
After deciding the category of the frame you want, you need to choose a door style.
Here are some of the best door styles you can get for your cabinet:
Shaker Cabinet Style
Shaker cabinet style is the trendiest door style. It blends perfectly whether your aesthetic is transitional, traditional, or modern. It is clean and has classic lines. This style contains a flat panel that has several stiles and rails.
This style complements different kitchen designs according to how you have customized your cabinet and the design elements you have used.
Shaker cabinet style can make a slightly traditional or modern look with various detailed edges in the frame. Shaker cabinets are most loved for their timeless and versatile appeal. Nonetheless, they can be stressful to keep clean because grime and dust collect in the frame, but this style will enhance your kitchen look and style for a long period if you can keep up with cleaning it.
Slab Cabinet Doors
