Just like other door styles, shaker cabinets are available in a variety of styles too. Each of these offers unique features and different price points. The key is to figure out which one is right for you. Below we will explain the characteristics of full overlay, partial overlay, frameless and inset cabinets.

Full Overlay Cabinets | Available at CliqStudios

Full overlay cabinet doors sit on top of the face frame leaving a ¼-inch reveal on all sides. This is the most popular cabinet style in the United States. Many homeowners choose full overlay cabinets because they offer modern character, quality and a great price point.

Partial Overlay Cabinets | Not Available at CliqStudios

Partial overlay cabinet doors sit on top of the face frame with a larger ½-inch reveal on each side. It's common for double door cabinets to also have a center stile leaving a reveal between doors. Many builders use this style today because it’s cost-effective while still offering a variety of styles.

Frameless Cabinets | Available at CliqStudios

Frameless cabinet doors cover the entire width of the cabinet. Each door sits on top of the cabinet walls and floor for a completely minimal look. This cabinet style is quickly gaining popularity in the United States because of its clean appearance and expanding styles. The price point for frameless cabinets is higher than full overlay, but dependent on your specific design choices.

Inset Cabinets | Available at CliqStudios

Inset cabinet doors sit completely within the cabinet face frame with a 3/32-inch gap for clearance. This style is unique and provides a refined, furniture-style look for any design. Because of the craftsmanship required to create this style of cabinet, the price will be roughly 35 – 45% higher than full overlay cabinets.

Keep white kitchen cabinets clean by cleaning up messes right away. A mild soap is best, such as Ivory® Soap, that has been diluted with warm water. Use a soft microfiber cloth, preferably white, so there is no risk of color transferring onto your cabinetry and wipe away grime.

For a deeper clean, use the same mild soap, warm water and microfiber on a bi-weekly basis. This will prevent the build-up of oil, grease, grime and dust. Start with the outside of each door making sure to wipe down the profile. Then you can move to the inside cleaning door hinges, face frames and cabinet handles too.

Do not use any harsh cleaning products or scouring pads. Magic erasers and strong chemicals can ruin the beautiful satin finish of your white cabinets and cause problems. To maintain the sleek look of white shaker cabinets, spot clean them often.

To find the perfect white shaker cabinets, start by deciding which line best fits your budget and organizational needs. Each of the colors and door styles listed above is specific to that cabinet line. Once your cabinet line is decided, order samples to see in your home’s natural lighting. Though it seems like a simple decision, it can be challenging with so many undertones to choose from. Keep in mind, white cabinetry provides a flexible canvas that creates the perfect foundation for your dream design.
