Cabinet Styles
There are many different cabinet styles on the market that can fit a variety of personal styles. Since the beginning of homes, cabinets have existed in different forms. Storage options have evolved over time, which created various styles from different regions. The construction process of building the cabinet, the door style, and the material type all contribute to a cabinet style. Choosing a style doesn’t necessarily mean you have to stay within its parameters though. Customizing a cabinet style can make it unique to you while still achieving the benefits you enjoy from that particular cabinet type.
Out of the Woods has a few popular cabinet door styles and materials that we offer to our clients. Choosing a door style that fits your current home design and enhances your other materials will be a wise investment. OOTW can help you make the best decision on cabinet styles. Based on your personality and the vision for the home, our designers can help guide you through the selection process.
Face Frame Vs. European Style
Two more modern cabinet styles we have seen from our clients at OOTW are Face Frames and European-style cabinets. While these may not be the most common designs based on the numbers, they are becoming common in recent homes. If you are interested in learning more about these styles, here are some of the differences between the two.
Face Frames
These are also referred to as American-style cabinets and have a flat picture frame-like quality. These cabinets are sleek and are typically made of hardwood. These come with a one-inch gap between doors and drawer faces and have an inset in the frame.
Pros
- Solid hardwood face
- Durability
- Highly customizable
- Limitless arrangement options
Cons
- Not a great cabinet to be made in other materials
- Doesn’t look appealing in contemporary and modern homes
European-style
Also known as frameless, these cabinets feature the cabinet box as the main structure. Instead of attaching doors and drawers to the frame of the cabinet, they are installed to the box so that they blend seamlessly together. They have a high-quality appearance because they can only be made by custom professionals.
Pros
- Ability to customize
- Perfectly match your color scheme
- Long-lasting
Cons
- Higher cost
- Take longer to create
- Easy to make errors during installation
Other Cabinet Styles
In addition to these styles, Out of the Woods can help you craft even the most intricate cabinets. From contemporary style homes to Mediterranean style, there are many elements that can be mixed together to create a stunning cabinet set. Raised panels, slab doors, composite material cabinets, shaker doors, different wood types, and more are all possibilities when working with our custom designers.
If your home doesn’t fit in the cookie-cutter mold of one style, cabinet customization will be a great option for you. Choosing every element of your cabinets will keep you from sacrificing design elements that you truly love, all because you thought your cabinets needed to fit certain guidelines.
