Custom Kitchen Door Styles Mansfield
Want a kitchen that stands out? At Kudos Kitchens, we make custom kitchen doors that match your style. Our family team works with you to create doors that fit your home perfectly.
Beyond Standard Kitchen Door Options
When you see most kitchens, you'll notice they all kinda look the same. That's because most companies use the same door styles from catalogs. But your home isn't like everyone else's, so why should your kitchen be?
We've helped many homes in Mansfield and places like Sutton-in-Ashfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, and even as far as Nottingham create kitchens that feel special. Our custom kitchen door styles let you pick exactly what you want.
"We didn't want the same kitchen as our neighbors, so Michael and Emma helped us design cabinet doors that match our 1930s house perfectly," says one of our happy customers from Mansfield Woodhouse.
Traditional Door Styles With Our Personal Touch
If you love classic looks, our traditional door styles might be perfect for you. We can make:
Raised panel doorsThese have that fancy, detailed look that never goes out of style |
Shaker DoorsSimple frame with flat center, but we can adjust the size of the frame to make it unique |
Country Kitchen DoorsWarm and welcoming with bead details |
Farmhouse StylesRustic but refined, perfect for older homes |
"Michael took the time to match the beading on our new kitchen doors to the original woodwork in our Victorian home in Warsop," says Diane, who chose our custom panel doors.
I'll often suggest small tweaks to traditional styles to make them special for your home. Maybe it's a unique edge profile or slightly wider frames - these little touches make all the difference.
Modern and Contemporary Door Styles
Not everyone wants traditional. If you prefer clean lines and modern design, we offer:
- Flat panel doors - smooth, simple, and very now
- Handle-less designs - with special edges so you can open them without handles
- High-gloss finishes - super shiny and easy to keep clean
- Ultra-matte options - velvety finish that hides fingerprints
- J-pull doors - with a lip at the top or side for opening
"We wanted something really modern for our new build in Edwinstowe, and Kudos suggested a handle-less kitchen in grey matte finish. It looks amazing and all our friends ask where we got it." - James and Emma
Most of our modern doors use high-quality MDF cores with special finishes. This gives you the look you want without the problems of warping you can get with some materials.
Unique Transitional Styles - Best of Both Worlds
Can't decide between modern and traditional? You don't have to! Our transitional door styles give you the best of both.
We can make doors with:
- Classic frames but in bold colors
- Traditional shapes with modern finishes
- Simple shaker styles with contemporary handles
These mix-and-match designs work great in older homes that you've updated or new builds where you want some warmth.
"We live in a converted barn in Forest Town and wanted a kitchen that felt modern but not out of place. Michael suggested a simple shaker door with sleek handles and it's perfect - not too modern, not too country." - Sarah
Specialty and Feature Doors That Wow
Sometimes you want parts of your kitchen to really stand out. Our specialty doors can be the star of your kitchen:
- Glass panel doors - show off your nice dishes or add lights inside
- End panels with detail - make the sides of your cabinets beautiful too
- Island feature panels - make your island the center of attention
- Curved doors - soft lines instead of sharp corners
- Custom designs - if you can imagine it, we can probably make it
For Mrs. Kelly in Southwell, we made special curved doors for her corner cabinets. She told us, "I'd never seen curved cabinet doors before, but they make such a difference to how the kitchen feels - no sharp corners for the grandkids to bump into either!"
What Materials Do We Use for Custom Kitchen Doors?
The material of your doors matters for how they look, last, and feel. We work with:
- Solid timber - beautiful natural grain, can be stained or painted
- High-quality MDF - perfect for painted doors, very stable
- Vinyl-wrapped boards - good for unique shapes and curves
- Combination materials - like wood frames with different center panels
"We were worried about our kitchen being near the back door where it gets damp sometimes. Michael suggested a special moisture-resistant MDF for our doors and two years later, they still look perfect." - Paul from Ollerton
We get our materials from suppliers we've worked with for years, not the cheapest options. That means your doors will last longer and look better.
Our Custom Door Design Process
When you choose custom doors from Kudos Kitchens, here's how it works:
- We chat about what you like - bring pictures or ideas, we'll help you sort through options
- Look at samples and materials - see and feel different options
- We make detailed measurements - everything custom fit to your space
- Design and plans - we show you exactly what you'll get
- Crafting your doors - we make each door careful by hand
- Quality checks - Michael checks every door before it's installed
- Expert fitting - properly hung so they work perfectly
"Emma was so patient when we couldn't decide on a style. She brought lots of samples to our house in Ravenshead and helped us narrow down our choices." - Leanne and Rob
Unlike big companies, we don't rush this process. We take time to get it right because these doors will be in your home for years.
Matching Elements That Complete The Look
Your kitchen doors don't stand alone. We make sure all these parts match perfectly:
- Drawer fronts that coordinate with your doors
- Cornices and pelmets for the tops of cabinets
- Plinths for the bottom
- End panels to finish off exposed sides
- Trim pieces to make everything fit perfectly
"What impressed us most was how Michael made sure even the tiny filler pieces matched our door style exactly. You can't tell where the cabinets end and the walls begin." - Ian from Tibshelf
Popular Custom Door Styles This Year
We've noticed certain custom door styles are very popular in the Mansfield area right now:
- Two-tone kitchens with different color doors on top and bottom cabinets
- Navy blue doors with brass handles
- Simple shaker styles painted in soft greys and greens
- Handle-less doors in modern homes
- Statement island doors that are different from the wall cabinets
"We went for sage green shaker doors with a navy blue island and it looks amazing - so much better than the plain white doors everyone else has." - Florence
What Are the Different Styles of Kitchen Doors?
The main kitchen door styles fall into these groups:
- Shaker - the most popular, with a frame and flat center panel
- Flat panel (slab) - completely smooth, modern look
- Raised panel - traditional style with a raised center section
- Beadboard - vertical grooves in the center panel
- Glass front - frame with glass inserts
- Handle-less - designed to open without handles
At Kudos, we can make custom versions of all these styles, adjusted to fit your taste and home.
What Is the Most Popular Kitchen Cabinet Door Style?
Right now, shaker doors are the most popular style we make. They're simple but have enough detail to look interesting. What's great about shaker doors is they work in almost any home - from period properties in Southwell to new builds in Rainworth.
We've made hundreds of shaker doors, but no two kitchens look the same because we adjust the details for each customer. Some like wider frames, others prefer different edge details.
What's the Difference Between Shaker and Traditional Kitchen Doors?
People often ask us this. Here's the simple answer:
Shaker doors have:
- Simple, clean lines
- Flat center panel
- Straight edges
- Usually painted finishes
Traditional doors have:
- More decorative details
- Often raised center panels
- Molded or profiled edges
- Can be painted or wood finish
"We thought we wanted very traditional doors, but after seeing Michael's shaker doors with some custom edge details, we realized they would work better in our home." - Miles from Clipstone
How Do I Choose a Kitchen Door Style?
Picking the right door style can feel hard with so many choices. Here's what we tell our customers:
- Think about your home's style - modern homes often suit sleeker doors
- Consider how you use your kitchen - busy family? Choose durable, easy-clean finishes
- Look at what you already like - your furniture choices can point to your style
- Think long-term - very trendy styles might look dated sooner
- Bring pictures - show us kitchens you love
"We were stuck between three different door styles until Emma suggested we look at our other furniture. We realized we love simple, clean designs in the rest of our house, so we went with a modern flat-panel door." - Carole from Hucknall
Can Custom Kitchen Doors Match Existing Cabinets?
Yes! This is something we do often. If you like your cabinet boxes but the doors are worn or dated, we can make new doors to fit.
We carefully measure your existing cabinets and make new doors that fit perfectly. We can match:
- Exact sizes
- Hinge positions
- Style elements
- Or create a completely new look on your old cabinets
"My kitchen cabinets were still solid, but the doors looked tired after 15 years. Michael made new shaker-style doors that fit perfectly on my existing cabinets, and it's like having a brand new kitchen for less than half the price." - Hazel
