Kitchen cabinetry styles

Notes:

• As you begin the process of designing your dream kitchen, it’s crucial that you understand how the different cabinet styles can influence the perception and overall look of a room.
• Depending on if you want a modern or traditional kitchen, you’ll want to choose from certain styles to complement that particular vision.
• Explore the most popular kitchen cabinetry styles to learn their different features and which one you should use in your space:

  • Beadboard:

    The essential design elements of traditional American farmhouses have found their ways into the mainstream in recent years. Barn doors, basin sinks, and beadboard cabinets, among other things, have all become staples in homes across the country.

  • Beadboard cabinets are styled after the traditional wall design of the same name—longitudinal grooves framed by four separate pieces accent the wooden panel.
  • For a full cottage-core effect, interior designers often pair breadboard cabinets with elegant bronze fixtures.

  • Glass-Front:

    For people who want to flaunt their decorative dishware, glass-front cabinets are modern-looking display cases for the finest china.

  • If you don’t want to make every cabinet glass, you can make only some of the cabinets transparent while using typical wooden doors in the rest of the kitchen.
  • This feature is even more helpful in homes and apartments with small kitchen and dining room areas where there’s no room for a traditional china cabinet.

  • Shaker:

    Shaker-style is the most common style of cabinets used in American households. It’s a five-piece cabinet with one flat baseboard framed by four-panel pieces.

  • The style, like Shaker furniture, originated from the Shaker people of colonial America, who were known for their simple designs and expert craftsmanship.
  • Shaker cabinets’ historical significance and minimalist design make them some of the most versatile options for homeowners.
  • Whether you’re using a traditional or modern approach for your kitchen renovation, you shouldn’t hesitate to choose Shaker cabinets.

  • Slab:

    Slab-style kitchen cabinets are increasingly common in modern-style homes because of their ultra-minimalist design.

  • The flat panels of the cabinetry fade into one another, creating a seamless look throughout the kitchen. Especially when you opt not to use fixtures, slab cabinets can disappear into the wall for a silky-smooth finish.

  • Traditional:

    Traditional cabinets cover a wide array of designs, with both raised and recessed center panels. Still, they’re united by their ornate designs meant to highlight the beauty of the kitchen with detailed craftsmanship.

  • Unlike Shaker cabinets’ square, straightforward design, traditional cabinets often have decorative arches, curves, and frames.
  • Historically, traditional cabinets have been considered luxury due to the time and expertise necessary to make them.
