If you’re remodeling the kitchen and planning to install custom cabinets, consider raised panel cabinets. This popular design offers easy maintenance and goes with a variety of decorating styles.

3 Reasons to Choose Raised Panel Custom Cabinets

1. Easy Care

Although raised panel cabinets have a decorative element, they’re easier to clean than intricately carved cabinet doors. You can choose the width and depth of the groove surrounding the center panel according to your preferences. Shallower, narrow grooves are less likely to collect dust and food particles, while wider, deeper ones may require more attention and care.

2. Timeless Look

These cabinets have a raised center panel with an outer rim. The outer edge is typically decorative and creates the effect of a door carved from a single panel of wood. These types of cabinets consist of the center panel attached to a frame with hinges. They can be painted and come in several stains and woods to match any decor scheme. Traditional, classic, rustic, and eclectic interiors blend especially well with this cabinetry option.

3. Several Styles

Raised cabinets come in a variety of woods, from solid hardwood to a fiberboard or particleboard construction. If you want wood, consider alder, cherry, maple, and oak because they have varied grains and take stains well. Hardwood may have unique characteristics that add to the appeal of the cabinet, such as bird pecks, burls, knots, wormholes, and mineral streaks. Ask your custom cabinet maker for samples of different types of wood before making a decision.
