Cabinet door styles, crafted to define your kitchen

Every profile we build is deliberate, from the joinery to the finish. Explore how door style shapes the character of your space, then let’s design yours.

DOOR STYLES

Which door style fits your kitchen?

Door style sets the tone for your entire kitchen. We build two main styles, each with its own character.

Inset doors

Doors set flush within the cabinet face for a tailored, furniture-grade look.

Full overlay doors

Doors that cover the cabinet frame completely for a clean, modern profile.

Profiles and details

Shaker, slab, and custom profiles finished to match your home's character.

Your choice

We guide the decision during your consultation, based on how you live.

Custom inset cabinet doors set flush within the frame in a refined kitchen
INSET DOORS

Set flush, finished like furniture

Inset doors sit within the cabinet face for a classic, furniture-grade look. Built for the refined kitchens we craft across Charleston.

Flush within the frame

Each door sits level with the face frame, creating a smooth, tailored front.

Furniture-grade construction

Precise reveals and tight joinery give every cabinet the feel of a fine piece.

Timeless character

A classic look that suits historic homes and stays elegant for decades.

Hand-fitted for precision

Each door is fitted by hand so gaps stay even and the front reads cleanly.

FULL OVERLAY

The full overlay look

Full overlay doors cover nearly all of the cabinet face frame. The result is a clean, modern line with more accessible storage behind each door.

Modern white full overlay cabinet doors with minimal visible frame
More visible door. The door covers almost the entire face frame, so the cabinet reads as a single plane.
Open full overlay cabinet revealing accessible organized shelves
Wider opening. With less frame in the way, the opening feels larger and shelves are easier to reach.

Streamlined look. Recessed gaps between doors keep the front clean and uncluttered, without visible hinges.
Natural wood full overlay cabinet door with flat panel profile
Fits many styles. From painted to wood grain, full overlay suits flat panels and Shaker profiles alike.
