Posted on Sept 25, 2019

Your cabinet style can have the largest impact on the look and feel of your kitchen. In fact, your kitchen’s style is mainly dependent on the style of your cabinets. It’s pretty impossible to create a modern-style kitchen if you have traditional-styled cabinets or your farmhouse dream kitchen with ultra-modern cabinets. Cabinets are also one of the largest investments you will make in your kitchen so it’s important to choose a cabinet style that will work for now and for many years to come. Here we have included four styles that are trendy enough to update the look of your home now but versatile enough to last a lifetime.

Shaker-Style

The Shaker-style cabinet is one of the most popular styles in kitchens today. This flat-panel door has a frame built from four border pieces and a single flat center panel. Touted for its simple, clean lines, Shaker-style doors became popular thanks to their simple style that complements just about any decor, hardware, and kitchen style, from traditional to contemporary and everything in between. Depending on the wood species and brand, this style is affordable enough to fit in a variety of budgets.

Slab

Similar to Shaker-style cabinets, the slab cabinet is touted for its simplistic yet stylish design. Void of expensive details, the slab style embraces hard lines and minimalism which makes it a perfect candidate for modern and contemporary kitchens. Thanks to its no-fuss design, these cabinet styles are most popular in a wood finish that offers that seamlessly display wood grain without the over-detailing other styles sometimes create.

Inset

Inset cabinets offer the most classic kitchen cabinet look and are typically the most expensive cabinet style on the market. They are called inset because they are set inside the cabinet frame unlike most cabinets that rest on the outside. Inset cabinets offer clean lines and give a full view of the cabinet frame with only minimal spacing between the cabinet components. These cabinets require precise measurement to perfectly fits inside the frame and is able to open and close even when the wood fluctuates, and usually require exposed hinges instead of concealed like other cabinet styles.

Glass-Front

If you love the idea of open shelves but also love the idea of cabinets keeping away dust, glass-front cabinets offer the best of both worlds. Easily see and display your favorite dishware while also keeping them protected from the kitchen elements, include splatters, dust, and cooking grease. These glass-front doors also offer a great design aspect that helps break-up too many cabinet fronts in a large kitchen, or help smaller kitchens feel more spacious by creating additional depth.
