Kitchens

Shaker vs raised vs flat panel doors

4 min
White and sand-tone shaker kitchen cabinet doors

Placeholder draft. Pick the door first, then the colour: the profile sets the character of the room and the finish only adjusts it.

Shaker is the safe middle. A flat centre panel inside a square frame reads clean in a modern kitchen and still sits comfortably in an older house.

Raised panel carries more shadow and more traditional weight. Flat panel is the quietest of the three and suits rooms where the counter or the floor is doing the talking.
