Shaker Kitchen Cabinets
The classic, understated Shaker cabinet design meshes well with most design styles. It is a Shaker style that dates back to the 18th century and was founded by a Christian sect.
With their simple lines and flat-panel doors, Shaker cabinets are simple to clean and customize to suit your style. Mason recommends using paint and stain to customize Shaker cabinets, or choosing distressed wood to achieve a luxurious appearance and feel. For a luxurious look and feel, choose cabinet pulls in gold or chrome finishes.
A standard 10-foot by 10-foot shaker-style kitchen cabinet set costs $1,200 to $3,500.
Craftsman (mission) Kitchen Cabinet
If you want to create a welcoming, natural environment with your kitchen cabinets, look no further than Craftsman-style designs. Quarter-sawn oak, a medium-colored wood, and tongue-and-groove joinery are often utilized in Craftsman kitchens. In contrast to Shaker style, Craftsman cabinets have three vertical rails on the door, resulting in two flat panels.
A craftsman-style kitchen cabinet can cost $10,000 to $14,000 for a standard kitchen, depending on the level of customization.
Flared-Leg (Slab) Kitchen Cabinet
The flat-front kitchen cabinets, also known as slabs, have single board doors without frames, panels, embellishment, or beveling. The simple, minimalistic design of the flat-front style fits well with a variety of decorating styles, such as Scandinavian, industrial, eclectic, and modern farmhouse.
A flat-front kitchen cabinet in a high gloss laminate finish can start at around $6,000 for a standard kitchen and can rise up to $60,000 for high-end metallic finishes with hardware and customization.
Beadboard Kitchen Cabinets
In the mid-20th century, beadboard kitchen cabinet styles were very popular in RVs and campers. Today, beadboard kitchen cabinets are making a comeback in vintage, retro, and rustic kitchens.
Beadboard cabinet doors have vertical panels with uniform beads and recessed lines
Beadboard kitchen cabinets are a good alternative to Shaker cabinets if you want something with a little more character. A standard kitchen measures 10 by 10 feet and costs between $4,200 and $11,000.
No-handle kitchen cabinet design.
The handle-free kitchen cabinet design is a wonderful choice if you’re a devout minimalist with expensive tastes. The design has been the design standard in Nordic countries for decades, and is often associated with a modern European look. Cabinets operate using groove, channel, lip, or finger-pull mechanisms, or through the installation of a push or tap latch system.
A standard kitchen in this high-end style can cost as much as $20,000.
Raised-panel (traditional) Kitchen Cabinets
If you want a kitchen with a classic feel that conveys warmth and personality, consider the raised-panel cabinet style, also known as traditional. As the phrase suggests, raised-panel cabinets have raised center panels rather than the flat center panels found on Shaker-, Craftsman-, and Mission-style cabinets.
Raised-panel cabinets are harder to clean than beadboard ones because of their elaborate lines and edges.
A custom kitchen with raised-panel shelves can cost between $8,000 and $12,000.
