Raised Panel & Traditional Kitchen Cabinets

Raised panel and traditional kitchen cabinets: profiled raised panel doors, plus quieter transitional doors with a recessed panel and a detailed frame. Painted whites and off-whites, gray and black, and stained oak and brown tones on all wood boxes with dovetail drawers and soft close hardware, available ready to assemble or assembled. The most formal door styles in our kitchen cabinets range.

What a raised panel door is

A raised panel door has a center panel that is thicker in the middle and beveled down to the frame, so the panel appears to stand proud of the door. The frame usually carries a routed inside edge. It is the opposite of a shaker door, where the panel sits flat and recessed, and of a slab door, which has no frame at all. Raised panel reads traditional, formal and substantial, and it is the right door for a kitchen with crown molding, a hood mantel or furniture-style details.

Our raised panel lines

Hallmark by Fabuwood is a classic raised panel in Frost white on a hardwood face frame box. Yarmouth Raised by JSI is a raised panel in Ivory, a warm off-white, with the option of assembled or RTA. GHI adds three ready to assemble raised panel lines: Newport White, Nantucket Linen in a soft off-white, and Regal Oak in a traditional oak-tone stain. Box and drawer construction for each line is listed on its series page.

Transitional doors: traditional without the raised panel

If you want a traditional kitchen with a slightly quieter door, the transitional lines are the middle ground: a recessed flat panel with a softened or beaded frame edge. Trenton Recessed and Trenton Slab from JSI come in Ivory; Doric from TA Cabinetry comes in Beige Gray and Charcoal Black, and Nostalgic in a Slate Brown stain. All four ship ready to assemble or assembled, and they are on this page alongside the raised panel lines, or on their own on the transitional cabinets page.

Finishing a traditional kitchen

Raised panel and transitional doors want proportionate hardware: cup pulls, knobs with a backplate, or a traditional bar pull in brushed nickel, oil rubbed bronze or antique brass. Crown molding, light rail and decorative end panels matter more here than on any other style; the molding and accessories for each line are on the series page. White and off-white remain the standard colors, and Regal Oak and Nostalgic are the options for a stained wood traditional kitchen.

Order a sample door first

The depth of the profile and the warmth of the white are the two things a photo gets wrong. A sample door shows both.
