What’s the first thing you notice when you walk into someone’s kitchen? We bet it’s the cabinets. Distinctly chosen cabinets set the tone for the rest of your kitchen design and, if well built, will last for years to come.
When you’re planning your kitchen remodeling project, cabinet doors and drawers are one of the most important features you’ll need to choose.
Custom Cabinets
Do you want to make your kitchen unique? Custom cabinets give you the flexibility to match any space, style, or design. And despite what you might think, the price tag for custom cabinets doesn’t need to be any higher than for semi-custom cabinets.
Semi-Custom Cabinets
Choosing your favorite door style from pre-made cabinets makes it easy to select the styles you love. Semi-custom cabinets are built in a factory, but they come with options available to customize the cabinets for your kitchen. Just keep in mind that these options do come with additional costs, so you’ll want to plan that extra cost into your budget.

Door and Drawer Styles
Unlike modular cabinets, which are mass-produced with standard dimensions that may or may not fit your kitchen, custom cabinets offer unlimited design and flexibility. The most significant factor in designing custom cabinets is the style of the doors and drawers, since this is the part of the cabinet that is always visible.
The two basic types of cabinet door and drawer styles are single-piece panels and frame-and-panel doors. Single-piece panels offer a clean, simple appearance. Made with a single piece of plywood, particleboard, or fiberboard, these types of cabinet doors appear smooth and uncluttered. A veneer surface of wood, plastic laminate, or melamine gives the cabinet its distinct character and allows you to customize the design.
Frame-and-panel doors consist of a central panel surrounded by a frame around the edges. The center panel can either be flat or raised. Frame-and-panel doors are traditional, since they were the only option before single-piece panels were even a possibility.
