Cabinet door styles are an important element in designing a kitchen, bathroom, and multiple areas throughout the home. They are always among the first things to be noticed when you walk into a space and can influence the overall look of the room. Sometimes the homeowner has a specific design style in mind which means that the cabinet doors need to integrate with and reflect it back into the area. This can require a special door that blends with a particular or custom style. While there are multiple standard door styles to choose from, opting to go with a custom look can provide your home with that little wow factor you have been looking for. We have been manufacturing custom pieces for over twenty years and love seeing the look of surprise and delight when our clients see their cabinet for the first time. Here are four unique cabinet door styles that we have done for our clients that we were pretty proud of ourselves.

Louvered doors mix up the entire look of your cabinet design and can be used in uppers, lowers, and even a combination. There are also several color schemes that can be used from an elegant black to a bright white or even gray and blue.

A wide variety of hardware can be blended with this style as well making louvered cabinet doors a great option if you are wanting to change things up a bit in your design.

These cabinet doors are typically easy to spot since their lines run vertical with small gaps in between. They also add such texture and pattern to the design making them a great option for those looking for something a little different than the standard door style.

Fluted cabinet doors

Choosing to go with a fluted cabinet door selection can add so much to your project but remember that it may require a little extra cleaning since dust can easily build up between the grooves. Fluted can look good in either a painted or stained version or paired with a few other elements like glass and metal which can integrate it with a more contemporary style.
