Wondering which cabinet door styles are right for your home? We’re going to break down all of your door style options and why they might work for you!
Are there really that many benefits to switching up your cabinet doors? We think so! Here are just a few:
Cabinet doors are a relatively inexpensive way to spruce up your space when compared to other projects. In general, cabinet doors cost around $150-$175 a linear foot.
Keep in mind that the overall cost of your cabinet doors will vary widely based on the size of your kitchen and the door style you choose.
Let’s get to the reason you all came here! Here are all of our favorite cabinet doors for sprucing up your kitchen!
Full overlay doors are one of the most popular styles for cabinet doors. In this style, the door reaches all the way up to the cabinet frame, with just a little gap in between.
As you can probably guess, partial overlay styles only cover about half of the face frame of the cabinet doors. You are able to see the edge of the cabinet doors more, which creates a 3D effect that draws attention to the drawers themselves.
Recessed panels have been the go-to choice for homeowners for many years. They consist of four pieces of wood around the edge of the cabinet doors that create a frame effect. These are timeless and have a classic style that you can count on for years to come.
With farmhouse styles more popular than ever, shaker-style doors have been a highly requested style for homeowners. We like shaker-style doors because of their simplicity. Like recessed panel doors, they have a framing effect. However, it is a sleeker shape that typically has a thinner frame.
Want extra detailing on your cabinet doors but also want something versatile? Beaded cabinet drawer fronts could work great for you. These cabinets have a vertical beadboard look that is both a classic look and also add lots of interest.
Were you born in the wrong century? For those who are looking for antique detailing, arch cabinet doors might be just what you are looking for. The door itself is not arched, rather, the name refers to the carved arch detailing at the top of the door. These are also sometimes referred to as cathedral doors.
A slab cabinet door is perfect for those who like simplicity and midcentury style. Slab doors are plain, with no detailing on the doors themselves. The doors also typically close flush to the frame of your cabinets, which creates a clean visual line.
If you are proud of your dishware collection, consider adding mullion doors to your cabinetry! Mullion doors have glass fronts with multiple panes. We prefer to use these for upper cabinets rather than lower cabinets.
These can be used in both modern and farmhouse-style kitchens.
If you want even more display options with your cabinet door, an open frame is a perfect choice. This is another glass door front but does not have the panes that mullion doors are known for.
Inset doors are a great choice if you are looking for a sleek, clean look that works great in a modern kitchen. The doors fit within the frame of the cabinet for a versatile style that can work in almost any home.
