Kitchen door styles greatly influence a room’s aesthetic, offering options from traditional to modern designs. Raised panel doors convey a classic, formal feel, while flat panel doors with clean lines suit contemporary and transitional kitchens.

Choosing the perfect wood stain for cabinets involves considering the wood’s natural grain, color variation, and the overall style of your kitchen. Light stains enhance subtle grain patterns and create a bright, airy feel, while darker stains add richness and highlight dramatic textures.

Glazing techniques like pen glaze, hand wipe glaze, and brush glaze enhance cabinet doors by adding depth, dimension, or an antique appearance. Additional methods such as rub-thru and distressing create a rustic, aged look by mimicking natural wear or intentional surface damage. These techniques add character and are popular for achieving vintage or farmhouse-style designs.

Cabinet box construction is key to the durability and longevity of your cabinets, with plywood (Classic) and particleboard (Pro) being the primary materials used. Strong joinery and quality hardware like hinges and drawer slides ensure the cabinets can support their contents and function smoothly.
