When it comes to designing a timeless kitchen, the style of your doors makes all the difference. Whether you’re refreshing your space with new bespoke doors or professionally respraying existing ones, choosing the right design ensures your kitchen stays elegant for years to come.

Here are the Top 5 Kitchen Door Styles that will never go out of fashion — loved for their quality, simplicity, and enduring charm.

Shaker Style Doors – Classic, Elegant, and Versatile

The Shaker door remains the most popular choice for both modern and traditional kitchens. Its clean lines, recessed panel, and balanced proportions give it a timeless appeal that works with almost any colour or handle choice.

Why homeowners love it:

✔ Works beautifully with both modern matte blacks and traditional wood tones.

✔ Available in solid wood or MDF for all budgets.

✔ Easy to keep clean, practical, and perfect for sprayed finishes.

At Bespoke Finishings, our ash shaker doors are sprayed to perfection in your chosen colour — whether it’s Farrow & Ball Purbeck Stone, Little Greene Portland Stone, or a bespoke shade of your own.

Slab Style Doors – Sleek, Modern Minimalism

For those who love a clean, contemporary look, slab doors are a modern classic.

With smooth, flat surfaces and sharp lines, this style creates a calm and uncluttered feel — ideal for open-plan living.

Why homeowners love it:

✔ Perfect for matte, satin, or gloss finishes.

✔ Works seamlessly with handleless hardware for a streamlined design.

✔ Pairs beautifully with stone, quartz, or marble worktops.

If you’re aiming for a minimalist or industrial look, slab doors in charcoal grey, black, or warm taupe are a timeless choice.

In-Frame Doors – Traditional Craftsmanship at Its Finest

The in-frame kitchen door design is all about heritage and craftsmanship.

Each door sits within a frame, creating a luxurious, bespoke look often found in handmade kitchens.

Why homeowners love it:

✔ Exudes quality and craftsmanship.

✔ Looks stunning in heritage colours such as French Grey, Sage, or Oxford Navy.

✔ Adds texture and depth to any kitchen layout.

At Bespoke Finishings, we can supply and spray in-frame doors that achieve the look of a handcrafted kitchen — at a more affordable price point.

Beaded Shaker Doors – A Subtle Twist on a Classic

For those who love the simplicity of Shaker style but want a touch more detail, the beaded shaker door is perfect.

The subtle bead moulding around the inner panel adds softness and sophistication, making it ideal for country-style or transitional kitchens.

Why homeowners love it:

✔ Elegant and timeless with a touch of character.

✔ Works beautifully in lighter tones like Linen, Stone, or Warm White.

✔ Pairs perfectly with antique brass or matte black handles.

This door style is ideal if you want something classic yet distinctive — a statement of understated luxury.

Handleless Doors – The Definition of Modern Luxury

Handleless kitchen doors have become a design staple in contemporary homes.

Sleek, functional, and effortlessly stylish, they offer a seamless finish that makes your kitchen feel open and uncluttered.

Why homeowners love it:

✔ Creates a modern, minimalist aesthetic.

✔ Available in painted, laminate, or sprayed MDF finishes.

✔ Easy to clean and ideal for smaller spaces.

When finished in a soft matte neutral like Cashmere, Mushroom, or Putty, handleless doors can look both warm and cutting-edge.
