A Look At 5 Of The Most Common Kitchen Cabinetry Styles For The Modern Home

Picking cabinetry styles is one of the best parts of renovating a kitchen, and there are so many styles to choose from. Take a look at some of the most popular styles you may want to consider.  

Shaker-Style Cabinets 

Shaker-style cabinetry has recently made a comeback even though it is one of the most traditional cabinetry styles out there. Shaker cabinets tend to have a flat door made of a thin wooden panel, and the doors are each outfitted with small frames or railing around the perimeter for highlighting purposes. Typically, shaker cabinets are either white or painted in more of a light neutral color to match the most traditional look. 

Rustic-Style Cabinets 

Crafted from the most basic materials, rustic-style cabinets are always created out of wood and have that old-timey look that you would find somewhere in a cabin that has been tucked away and not updated. With warm wooden hues of cedar or honey-toned pine, broad doors that take up a lot of visual space, and few intricate details, rustic cabinetry is perfect if you have a mountain-style home or love the old-fashioned traditional cabinetry look with a little more warmth. 

Slab-Front Cabinets 

Taking notes from the popular minimalist style of cabinetry, slab-front cabinets are just as they sound; they have basic slab fronts that do not have a lot of details, hardware, or elements that detract your attention from the span of the panel itself. Slab-front cabinets often get paired with open shelving on the top to create a very straightforward and simple look, and you can find all kinds of slab-front cabinetry made from different types of lightweight wood, plastic, or other materials. 

Louvered-Front Cabinets 

Louvered-front cabinets are one of the most recent additions to the list of cabinet styles that have grown in popularity for the modern home. Louvered cabinets have horizontal slats almost like window shutters across the front panels of the doors. This slatted style gives the cabinetry a unique, almost old-fashioned appearance, which works well in something like a farmhouse kitchen. 

Industrial-Style Cabinets 

If you have a kitchen that is outfitted to look like something akin to a commercial kitchen, you will definitely like the idea of industrial-style cabinets. Most often, these cabinets are made from stainless steel, and they have simple and functional designs without a lot of added detail or flair. These cabinets will have flat metal panels for doors and basic opening hardware.
