Door Style Samples and Consult Scheduling PageChoosing the Right Cabinet Door Style: Shaker vs Cambridge vs Frameless forAtlanta Homes

Choosing the right cabinet door style can define the entire look and feel of your kitchen. Atlanta homeowners have several great options to consider, each offering a distinct design perspective. At CabinetCorp, our most popular door styles include Shaker, Cambridge, and Frameless, all available in a wide range of finishes to match any kitchen design.

Shaker cabinets feature clean lines and a classic recessed panel design. Their timeless appeal makes them a versatile option, working well in both modern and traditional kitchens. Shaker is often chosen for its simple elegance, ease of maintenance, and broad resale appeal.

Cambridge cabinets offer a slightly more detailed profile with gentle curves or bevels, creating a touch of refinement while still maintaining a clean aesthetic. This style is ideal for homeowners who want to add character and depth without veering too far into ornate territory.

Frameless cabinets, sometimes called European style, offer a sleek, contemporary look with full overlay doors and no face frame. This design allows for maximum interior space and creates a seamless appearance. Frameless cabinets are perfect for minimalist kitchens and are especially popular in modern or transitional homes.
