Kitchen renovation is often a balance between aesthetic and function. But at Kitchen Tune-Up of Downers Grove, we’ve found that one kitchen cabinet style seems to buck the trend and stand the test of time: raised panel cabinets. 

Here are five key reasons why this cabinet style is a popular choice for new installs and cabinet redooring and cabinet redooring alike.

1. Timeless Style

Raised panel cabinets add a classic sophistication to any design. Their clean, rectangular shape paired with a subtly raised center panel creates a balanced look that works beautifully in traditional, transitional, and modern kitchens.

2. Durability and Longevity

This concern is top of mind for many buyers when they’re browsing styles, and raised panel cabinets are built with extra strength that lasts. 

The raised center panel provides added stability to the door, reducing the risk of warping or cracking in Illinois’ hot summers and chilly winters. This durability means your cabinets will continue looking great for years to come—even with regular use. 

3. Versatility in Finishing Options

Another advantage of raised panel cabinets is their versatility in finishing options. 

Whether you’re drawn to soft whites or deep grays, rich woods, or even bold modern hues, raised panel cabinets can be stained or painted to match any kitchen color scheme. For a particularly eye-catching style, try a two-tone look with contrasting upper and lower cabinets.

No matter the approach, raised panel cabinets can deliver.

4. Added Depth and Dimension

This one is obvious, but it’s worth highlighting: There’s no doubt that the subtle raised center panel adds visual interest to any kitchen without sacrificing a clean appearance. 

This subtle detail creates depth and dimension in the space, drawing the eye across the cabinetry. The depth also helps to give the illusion of having taller cabinets, making smaller kitchens appear more spacious.

5. Increased Resale Value

Finally, if you’re looking for resale value, choosing raised panel cabinets for cabinet redooring or remodel is a smart choice. Their design appeals to a wide range of potential buyers, from young families to empty nesters, ensuring your investment will pay off even after you move out.
