Whether you're installing brand new kitchen cabinets or looking to refurbish existing ones, the range of available kitchen cabinet styles can seem overwhelming at first.
Your cabinet door style can be one of the most important factors in your kitchen's new design. Not only are cabinet doors one of the most visible design elements in a kitchen, but they can also be one of the most expensive. From the elaborate to the simple, there's a door style for every home design. Take a look at some of the better-known styles here and see which will work for your home's style and your budget.

Shaker Style

​The Shaker-style cabinet door is the most common door style in kitchens today. This five-piece flat-panel style has a frame made from four pieces and a single flat center panel for the fifth piece.

Flat Style

Simple but stylish, the flat-panel cabinet door is void of any expensive details. Its hard lines and minimalist form make it a great fit for contemporary and modern interiors.
Many flat doors come in decorative laminate,Veneer or wood. Laminate tends to be more budget friendly and offers a greater variety of colors and sheens.
​

Inset Style

​The inset door gets its name because it is set inside of the cabinet frame — typical cabinet doors rest on the outside of the frame. The door is designed and constructed with extremely precise measurements so that it nests inside the frame and opens and closes properly, even when the wood expands and contracts.

Beadboard Style

​The center panel of the cabinet doors in this style are made to look like traditional beadboard paneling.

Thermofoil Style

These doors are molded out of MDF (medium-density fiberboard), wrapped in a plastic-type coating and then baked under intense heat to create an impervious seal. Durable and cost effective, they come only in solid colors and imitation wood grain. 
It's durable, but it's also extremely difficult to repair any damage to it. Some lighter colors can also yellow from sunlight and heat over time.

1.      Consider having a work triangle (Fridge, Cooking top and Sink) always.

2.      Minimal grouting for splash back tiles (Always use bigger sized tiles)

3.      Make sure the counter top is either quartz, artificial treated top or granite because they don't get stained.

4.      Have enough drawer space so you can easily reach the former end of the cabinet by pulling the drawer out.

5.      Sinks should be under-mounted so the food debris doesn’t stick around the sink.

6.      Always have under cabinet lights to have enough light on the work top.

7.      Have wall cabinets till ceiling and seal the joint so you do not have to worry about cleaning the top of the cabinet.

8.      Design kitchen to have enough work top space, in order to avoid this have all the tall cabinets on one side of the kitchen.

9.      Have a pull out ladder in the storage spaces so it gives access to the former end of the cabinet.

10.   Always have a semi- gloss finish cabinets. The disadvantage of having a glossy finish is the visibility of finger print marks and the one with the matte finish is hard to clean.
