Cabinet Door Styles

When you look at cabinets, what is the first thing you see? The doors and drawers. The great news is cabinet makers have an unlimited selection of stains, paints and glazes. Here are a few examples:

This door is cherry with a pecan stain and brown glaze, giving it a lot of depth in the details.


The doors below are more simple. The first is quarter sawn oak with a champagne stain. The second is Alder with a natural stain and brown glaze to bring out the linear design. It’s nice to see the different wood grains.



Here are two examples of painted cabinet doors. The top door has been painted and then given a distressed look using a brown glaze. It is antiqued over burgundy, and then treated with a brown glaze. The door on the bottom is painted a sage color. It doesn’t have a stain, and has a very even clean look to it.


One final benefit of the doors picture above is they are available from Geppetto Kitchens. They are a North Carolina business and a great way to buy high quality local products.


Here are some additional staining options, taken to a whole other level.
Royal Cabinets has paired with a North Carolina furniture maker to give even more intricate and detailed finishing options to cabinetry in their jewel collection. See these two beautiful examples below and visit their site to see all the options available. http://www.royalcabinet.com/jewel.htm
