Overhauling any space in any part of your home is exciting. But let’s be honest, it can be quite scary. Especially when you’re overhauling the heart of your home – the kitchen. There’s countertops, appliances, lighting and sinks to consider. Oh, and don’t forget cabinetry! This dominating feature determines the overall look of your home’s communal meeting place. It dictates how well it does (or doesn’t) function. To help you decide what style best suits your taste, we put together this list of cabinet terms.

Contemporary  

The modern kitchen design is de�ned by a more clean, sleek, smooth (and sometimes colorful) style. Flat panels and metals make for a minimalistic design scheme, while door styles rarely include any ornamentation or ornate details.

Transitional

Transitional kitchen cabinetry is a blend of old and new. A warming of the modern combined with a sleeker version of the traditional. Regardless of the home style, you can step outside strict stylistic guidelines and create a more individualized design.

Traditional

Traditional kitchen cabinetry provides a more formal (yet still inviting and warm) appeal. The classic raised panel door design most commonly seen in traditional is not only durable, but timeless. Painted �nishes are used more to contrast the formality.

Choosing your ideal cabinet style isn’t dif�cult, once you know all your terminology!
