Are you in the process of renovating your kitchen? With the arrival of festival seasons, you are more likely to invite people for lunch/dinner. So, your dilapidated kitchen cabinets must look brand new and lend to a cheerful kitchen space. Renovating the kitchen space means that you will have to consider the position of lights, and color of the wall and the cabinets. You will also have to think about changing the cabinet doors if their condition has deteriorated. Often the cabinet doors may get damaged due to exposure to various weather conditions.
A certain number of door styles are available for renovating your custom kitchen cabinets designs. This will also give a different look to your present kitchen. Listed below are some of the kitchen cabinet door styles:
• Shaker
You are more likely to come across the shaker style cabinet door in your relatives' or acquaintances' houses. It consists of four pieces of wood that frame the cabinet with a single flat panel in the center. The shaker style of cabinets makes for a clean, utilitarian look of the kitchen. If you paint the cabinet doors with light colors then, it will reflect light off its surface and lend to a bright kitchen space. This design of door styles complements all the kitchen décor—antique to contemporary.
• Louvered
It is wise to use a louvered style door for cabinets that are near a radiator. The ventilation system (spaces between each slat) is unique. It adds a distinct architectural look to the kitchen area. Darker colors look great on the louvered cabinets.
• Flat
Flat door style of the kitchen cabinets is of a simple design. It consists of a flat center panel of wood and does not require any frame, unlike the shaker style. You can choose to give your flat cabinet doors a stained finish which will retain the natural texture of the wood. Many choose plywood or engineered wood as the material of the cabinet doors as they are lighter than hardwood.
• Inset
If you want to give your kitchen a classic look, then you should consider choosing the inset style for cabinet doors. The door is set inside the cabinet frame, hence the name inset style. You can open or close the cabinets easily even when the wood expands and contracts.
• Beadboard
If you desire for a cottage outlook then, the cabinet door style you should choose is beadboard. These are also framed cabinets with a center panel of wood. The cracks and crevasses of the beadboard door style of the cabinets will never go out of style.
You also have the option to customize the door styles if you want to add your creative ideas to decorating the kitchen space. Being the most visible part of the kitchen cabinets, the door should be properly designed and thought of before installation.
