This method is not only simple but makes for a very durable cabinet.

Framed Kitchen Cabinet Design Ideas

Framed kitchen cabinets offer a world of design possibilities, combining classic elegance with contemporary flair. The clean border around the front of each cabinet door lends itself to a variety of styles, making it easy to personalize your kitchen to suit your design.

For a timeless and traditional look, opt for raised panel framed cabinets like our Pearl or Dark Caramel cabinets. The raised center panel adds depth and dimension to the cabinet doors, while the framing brings a sense of refinement to the overall design. Pair these cabinets with ornate hardware and a warm, neutral color palette for a charming, inviting kitchen space.

If you're drawn to modern kitchen aesthetics, go for flat-panel or shaker framed cabinets in alight shade like Thompson White and Ice White Shaker . Their simple and sleek design exudes a minimalist vibe, perfect for achieving a clean, uncluttered look. Enhance the contemporary feel with brushed metal hardware and bold, contrasting colors for a striking and cutting-edge kitchen design.

RTA Framed Kitchen Cabinets

Ready-to-assemble framed kitchen cabinets ship unassembled in a flat box, making them both budget-friendly and efficient. If you love diving into a DIY project or are a contractor looking for a lower-cost cabinet, RTA cabinets are the perfect option. All you'll need are basic hand tools and 10-20 minutes to assemble your new cabinets. Although you're saving with RTA cabinets , you're getting the same high quality as custom cabinetry, plus the ability to customize your order with accessories like custom moldings, roll-out trays, or decor legs.

Pre-Assembled Framed Kitchen Cabinets

While RTA cabinets save you money, assembled kitchen cabinets save you time. Since pre-assembled framed kitchen cabinets arrive pre-built upon delivery, you can quickly unpack and install them. All our assembled cabinet options feature high-quality Grade-A plywood boxes, finished matching door interiors, and sides built to withstand wear and tear.

Face Frame Hinges

Because framed cabinets have a face frame attached to the cabinet, you can use sturdier cabinet hinges. Some hinges add stylistic detail, like exposed hinges, while others are simply for function.

Check out our guide to choosing cabinet hinges for more information.

Frameless vs. Framed Cabinets

While framed kitchen cabinets have a face frame for extra dimension and sturdiness, frameless kitchen cabinets do not. Frameless style cabinets feature cabinet doors attached to the sides of the cabinet box, offering seamless lines on the front frame for a sleek modern or contemporary look.

In addition to the construction, differences between frameless vs. framed kitchen cabinets include:

Aesthetic: Framed kitchen cabinets are well suited for traditional or transitional kitchens, while frameless cabinets work best with modern styles.
Storage space: Frameless kitchen cabinets offer more storage space and have larger drawers.
Hinges: Framed cabinet hinges are attached to the face frame, which allows for more reliable hardware, while frameless cabinet hinges are attached directly to the box.
Durability: Framed kitchen cabinets tend to have more strength and stability from the added dimension of the face frame.
Cost: Because frameless cabinets are made from a denser material, they cost an average of $1,000 more than framed cabinets.

Framed Kitchen Cabinets FAQs

Are framed cabinets more expensive than frameless cabinets?

The cost of framed cabinets vs. frameless cabinets can vary depending on factors such as the material, design complexity, and brand. Generally, frameless cabinets tend to be slightly more expensive than framed cabinets because they’re typically made of denser materials to compensate for the lack of frame.

Which are stronger, framed or frameless cabinets?

Framed cabinets are generally stronger than frameless cabinets. The solid face frame in framed cabinets provides added structural support, making them more resilient to heavy loads and wear over time. Frameless cabinets, while still sturdy, lack this additional reinforcement, which can make framed cabinets the preferred choice for those seeking extra durability and longevity in their kitchen remodel.

How can you tell if you have framed vs. frameless cabinets?

You can determine whether you have framed or frameless cabinets by looking at the cabinet doors and drawers. Framed cabinets have visible framing around the front of each cabinet opening, creating a distinct border. On the other hand, frameless cabinets lack this face frame, and the cabinet doors and drawers cover the entire front of the cabinet box without any visible borders.
