Cabinets

When it comes to choosing your new cabinet doors, you don’t want to rush. The door design can be an important factor in the aesthetics of your entire kitchen. Fortunately, there is a door style for every type of home. You can find everything from simple to elaborate. At Kitchen Cabinets & Beyond, we have countless options for you to consider. Here are just a few of the more popular kitchen cabinets designs in Mission Viejo, CA.

  1. Flat Panel

Also known as slab cabinet doors, these are about as simple as kitchen cabinets come. These doors are devoid of any detail aside from the hardware. It is no wonder this minimalist design is popular in contemporary interiors. These come in a variety of decorative laminates or wood and are often the most budget friendly.

  1. Shaker Style

The name comes from the simple, clean lines often attributed to Shaker style furniture. These cabinets have a simple, common door style with five pieces. They have one flat panel surrounded by four pieces in a framework. The simple elegance is a classic for a reason, and lends itself to almost any type of décor.

  1. Raised Panel

As the name suggests, these doors have a raised center panel with a surrounding contour, giving the door some dimension. These doors have more depth and character, making them perfect for traditional or transitional style kitchens.

  1. Louvered

These cabinet doors consist of horizontal wood slats, much like shutters. The louvers allow for air to flow more freely. This makes them great for storage that requires ventilation—like a cabinet near the radiator. In the kitchen they are a striking architectural feature, but do come with a hefty price tag.

  1. Beadboard

Like that bright, cozy cottage style? Then these are your cabinets of choice. The panels on these doors are made to look like traditional beadboard. Unfortunately. all those little grooves and crevices are difficult to keep clean, especially in the kitchen.

  1. Distressed

Looking for a more age-old feeling in your kitchen? Then you can choose any style cabinet door and have it distressed. This might involve rubbing off the corners or using other techniques to give your cabinets an antique look. The result is striking, but all the extra work will cost you more.

  1. Accent Styles

You can even choose accent doors that serve a more artistic purpose in your kitchen. Often these include mullion, glass, leaded glass, aluminum frame, or stainless steel doors.

  1. Custom

Not finding exactly what you are looking for? Then you have the option of designing your own. Just keep in mind, the cost of a custom designer or craftsperson is a great deal more than the traditional styles.
