Without a doubt, Shaker is the most popular, most versatile, and most enduring style of cabinet door in America. It is especially prevalent in the South, where tradition with a splash of creativity is always in style.
However, there are two basic cabinet styles readily available: Shaker and slab. Both are available at Kitchens of the South, but by far, the Shaker style is more popular and enduring.
Shaker Door Design
To understand the Shaker design, consider the “5-piece” rule. By definition, a Shaker-style door is constructed of five pieces of building material, usually wood. There are the recessed center panel, two vertical “stiles,” and two horizontal “rails.” The stiles and rails frame the center panel, which is normally recessed but it can be raised. This structural design is simple and strong, but it can be tweaked in many ways to add color, personality, and functionality to accommodate individual taste and needs. Don’t let the name “Shaker” fool you into thinking Shaker doors are strictly traditional
If you are remodeling your kitchen or starting from scratch with a new home, one of the most important decisions to make is what type of cabinet doors you want. You’ll be opening and closing them for years to come, so you want to choose wisely. Kitchens of the South has hundreds of materials, colors and “styles” to choose from. It is important to take your time and look at all your options. Our staff will be glad to spend as much time as you need, showing samples and explaining the differences. Key to choosing your “style” is deciding how the doors will hang on the face of the cabinets.
