Whether you’re picking out cabinetry for a new home or remodeling a kitchen, you have plenty of options when it comes to the doors. Which doors you select depends on the design style you prefer in your home. From traditional to modern and everything in between, here are some of the top types of cabinet doors.

7 Best Types of Cabinet Doors for Your Home

1. Raised Panel

This style has a center panel higher than the rest of the door. Sometimes, the panels have contoured edges for additional design elements. Raised panel doors are usually used in traditional kitchens. They soared in popularity in the ‘80s and are still a common choice today.

2. Flat Panel

This door has a center panel that is flat or recessed lower than the frame. It typically appeals to people who want a sleek, contemporary design. The popular shaker cabinets use flat panel doors.

3. Slab

A solid slab of wood makes up the entire door front. There's no frame or panel. The doors attach directly to the cabinet sides rather than to a frame face. Slab doors are often used in modern and European design applications.

4. Mullion Frame

In mullion doors, vertical and horizontal moldings divide the frame into panes. A glass insert is typically added as the center panel, allowing you to see the cabinet contents and making your kitchen seem more open.

5. Louver

Louver doors feature horizontal, fixed slats that resemble shutters. These doors allow air and light to pass through the slats, providing ventilation. Though not common, they’re sometimes seen in contemporary kitchens.

6. Cathedral

Cathedral doors feature recessed panels with an arched or curved frame. These are often found in classically styled kitchens.

7. Bead Board

For country kitchens, bead board fronts are popular. They feature vertical grooves and resemble paneling.
