At Granite South, we know choosing cabinetry is more than just picking a color — it’s about matching your style, function, and lifestyle. Shaker, raised panel, and flat panel cabinets are three of the most popular choices we work with. Each offers a unique look and practical benefit. Below, we break down the differences to help you decide which is best for your next project.
Shaker cabinets are known for their simple, recessed panel design and square edges. They’re versatile, understated, and blend effortlessly with both traditional and modern kitchens.
Shaker cabinets are ideal for homeowners who want a classic, uncluttered look that never goes out of style.
Raised panel cabinets feature a center panel that is slightly elevated, often with curved or decorative detailing. They are perfect for creating a warm, elegant, and traditional kitchen environment.
Raised panel cabinets tend to have more grooves and carvings, which may require a bit more maintenance to keep dust-free.
Flat panel (also called slab) cabinets feature a smooth, solid surface with no frames or detailing. They offer a modern, contemporary look and are perfect for streamlined, high-end designs.
Flat panel cabinets are perfect for homeowners aiming for a modern, minimal kitchen with sharp lines and a sleek vibe.
All three cabinet styles have their strengths. Shaker offers timeless appeal, raised panel adds rich detail, and flat panel delivers modern simplicity. If you’re not sure where to start, Granite South can help you visualize your options with expert guidance and photo-ready samples.
