Choosing Your Style of Kitchen Cabinet Doors

Kitchen cabinet doors can be of three major styles: raised panel, recessed panel or slab. People nowadays mostly go for the Traditional, Country, Contemporary or the Shaker look.

Contemporary or modern cabinet designs include unadorned sleek cabinets with plain doors and hidden hardware that’s unobtrusive.

The traditional look is more elegant. They have raised panel doors or glass panels. Painted white wood or rich wood finish is used. Brass hardware and knobs are used to give it a formal touch.

The country cabinet often has a light stain or distressed look with simple door styles. Ordinary wood along with ceramic handles and knobs give these cabinets a country flair.

Most cabinets are made of wood but also can include plywood or particleboard in their construction. Plywood kitchen cabinets are considered thicker and even stronger than those made using particleboard. Solid wood cabinets are the ultimate choice and are, of course, the most costly.

The first step in selecting kitchen cabinets is to analyze what type of overall kitchen decor you want. The affordability must also be taken into consideration. It is advisable to research a little, check out many models and then finally choose the best one suited to your tastes and needs.
