Door Styles
Cabinet doors play a huge role in the overall look and feel of your kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, or storage space. From clean and modern to timeless and traditional, choosing the right door style can transform your cabinetry and add a complementary touch to your home’s architecture. Below is an overview of popular cabinet door styles at Out of the Woods to help you find the perfect fit.
The Importance of High-Quality Cabinet Doors
High-quality cabinet doors are a wise long-term investment for the following reasons:
Enhanced Durability — High-quality cabinets are made from premium materials and construction that resist warping, cracking, and damage.
Superior Functionality — Features like soft-close hinges prevent slamming, reduce noise, protect the doors, and offer a smoother experience.
Improved Aesthetics — Quality materials and finishes maintain their look over time and resist wear.
Increased Home Value — Well-made cabinets and beautiful doors make a strong impression on potential buyers and boost your home’s market value.
Reduced Maintenance — High-quality construction requires less maintenance and handles daily use better.
Different Cabinet Door Styles
Shaker Cabinet Doors
Shaker cabinet doors are one of the most popular and versatile styles. They feature a flat, recessed center panel surrounded by a square frame, which resembles a picture frame. Homeowners love this style because of the clean lines, timeless appeal, and ability to pair with a wide range of finishes and hardware.
These cabinet doors work best in modern, transitional, farmhouse, and traditional spaces.
Flat Panel (Slab) Cabinet Doors
Flat panel cabinet doors feature a smooth, solid surface with no frame or detailing. They have a sleek appearance, minimalist style, easy maintenance, and a more affordable cost due to the simpler construction. Flat panel cabinet doors work well in modern and contemporary spaces.
Raised Panel Cabinet Doors
Raised panel doors feature a center panel that is thicker in the middle and tapers down to a beveled edge. This creates a dimensional, classic, and elegant look and adds depth and character. This style is often associated with more formal or traditional interiors and can include ornate details and curves. Choose this door style if you want to create a classic or more traditional space.

Types of Cabinet Door Overlays
The cabinet door overlay refers to how much the cabinet door covers the cabinet frame when closed. Choosing the right overlay style impacts not only the look of your cabinets but also the overall design aesthetic.
Full Overlay
Full overlay cabinet doors cover nearly the entire cabinet frame, leaving only minimal gaps between doors and drawers. This creates a sleek, modern, and seamless appearance that works well in modern, contemporary, and transitional spaces.
Partial (Standard) Overlay
Partial overlay doors cover only part of the cabinet frame, leaving more of the frame visible between doors. This gives a space a traditional, familiar look and saves you money compared to a full overlay. It works well with classic door styles and in traditional kitchens and utility spaces.
Inset Overlay
Inset cabinet doors are set flush inside the cabinet frame rather than covering it. This requires precise craftsmanship and, when done well, results in a clean, traloired appearance with fully visible cabinet frames. This style allows you to add decorative hinges and make a space feel more elegant. Choose this style for high-end, traditional, or transitional spaces.
