Over the years, we have designed and implemented countless design styles requested by our clients for their homes. Everything from modern, simplistic to rustic wood styles — we have gone through it all and put together our favourite styles for custom cabinets here in the Fraser Valley. Continue reading to learn more about our unique taste and favourite design choices for cabinets.
1. Shaker Style – Clean and Classic
The Shaker style is one of our all-time favorites for a reason. With its simple recessed panel and clean lines, it blends seamlessly into almost any interior — from modern to traditional. It’s a great choice for homeowners who want a timeless look that won’t go out of style.
Why we love it: It’s versatile, elegant, and always in demand.
2. Flat-Panel (Slab) Cabinets – Sleek and Modern
For a more contemporary look, flat-panel cabinets — also known as slab cabinets — are a top pick. These feature a smooth, flat surface with no detailing, which gives a clean, minimalist feel. They’re ideal for modern kitchens, bathrooms, or office spaces.
Why we love it: Sleek, low-maintenance, and pairs well with bold finishes or minimalist hardware.
3. Rustic and Reclaimed Wood – Natural Charm
Rustic cabinets made from reclaimed or distressed wood bring a warm, earthy tone to a home. Whether it’s a farmhouse-style kitchen or a cozy cabin space, this style adds instant character. Each piece of wood tells a story — and that’s something no factory-made cabinet can match.
Why we love it: Full of personality and warmth, and perfect for one-of-a-kind spaces.
4. Inset Cabinets – Refined and Custom-Fit
Inset cabinets are built so that the doors and drawers sit flush within the cabinet frame, creating a seamless, high-end look. This style requires precision craftsmanship, which is exactly what we specialize in at Craftwell Cabinets.
Why we love it: A tailored, custom look that feels like furniture.
5. Two-Tone Cabinets – Bold and Balanced
Mixing colors or materials is one of our favorite ways to make a space feel more dynamic. Two-tone cabinets — like white uppers with navy blue lowers, or natural wood paired with painted finishes — offer contrast and depth without overwhelming the room.
Why we love it: A creative way to personalize your space and make a design statement.
6. Glass-Front Cabinets – Elegant and Airy
Glass-front cabinets are perfect for displaying beautiful dishware, glassware, or collectibles. Whether you go for clear, frosted, or textured glass, this style can break up a solid row of cabinets and add visual interest.
Why we love it: They add elegance and let your personality shine through your display.
Conclusion
