4 Popular Cabinet Styles to Consider
- Traditional
Traditional kitchens emphasize simplicity and utilitarian elements. They usually feature painted cabinets, optionally fitted with glass doors and decorative moldings and hardware, as well as practical yet attractive granite or laminate countertops and hardwood floors. To enhance the simple, classic lines of a traditional kitchen, consider hiding modern appliances behind cabinet panels for a seamless and cohesive appearance. - Transitional
This kitchen style combines the best elements of the old and the new, utilizing a blend of both traditional and contemporary styles. They feature clean architectural lines with neutral finishes to create an ageless appeal. The cabinets are typically streamlined, subdued and simple. Think shaker-style doors with few decorative details and simple hardware to match the austere style. - Modern Farmhouse
This style of kitchen has been very popular in recent years. It combines rustic, earthy elements with contemporary touches like neutral color schemes and smooth lines, resulting in a cozy and homey, yet refined, look. They often feature rough, rustic open shelving and unvarnished wood finishes. - Contemporary

Contemporary style can make use of a wide variety elements, and it’s hard to pin it down to specifics, but generally it includes sleek, clean lines — flat panel or slab cabinet doors with streamlined hardware or a handleless design.
