Why Raised Panel
Why Raised Panel Still Works in Palm Beach County
Slab and slim shaker dominate the new-build market. But raised panel is still the right answer for a specific kind of South Florida home.
Reads correct in a Mediterranean home
Tile floors, arched doorways, wrought-iron details — those rooms call for a door with shadow and depth. Slab and shaker can look thin in that context.
Plays well with antique-style hardware
Heavy oil-rubbed bronze, antique brass, and pewter pulls were designed for raised panel doors.
Carries detail in big kitchens
On a 300-sf kitchen with 42-inch uppers, raised panel reads from across the room. Slab or shaker can disappear.
Works for traditional buyers
If the resale buyer wants 'a real wood kitchen,' raised panel is what they picture.
Built to refinish for decades
Solid wood raised panel can be sanded, restained, or repainted three or four times across 40 years.
Matches Tuscan and old-world stone
Travertine, leathered granite, brown-vein marble, and rough-edge stones all read correct against a raised panel door.

Style guide
What "Raised Panel" Actually Means
A raised panel door is a five-piece solid wood construction where the center panel is not recessed (like shaker) and not flush (like slab). Instead, the center panel is thicker than the frame around it, and its outer edge is bevel-cut so it slopes from the high center down to the frame.
That bevel creates a clear shadow line, especially in low side light. It's the same reason cathedral ceilings and crown molding read as 'expensive' — the deep shadow is what your eye registers as detail and craftsmanship.
Top profile variations: square (most common, looks formal), arched (top of door has a gentle curve, very Mediterranean), and cathedral (top has a pointed Gothic arch, very Tuscan). Edge profiles on the panel itself range from a simple chamfer to a full classical ogee — we walk through every option in person.
Construction is the same five-piece frame-and-panel joint as a shaker door, so raised panel ages just as well. The maintenance overhead is identical. The visual cost is purely a style choice: do you want shadow and depth, or do you want quiet and modern?

Questions
Raised Panel Cabinet FAQs
Are raised panel cabinets out of style? +
Not for the right home. In a Mediterranean, Spanish Colonial, or Tuscan-style Palm Beach County house, raised panel cabinets still read more correct than shaker. About 15% of the kitchens we install in 2026 are raised panel cabinets.
Do raised panel cabinets cost more than shaker cabinets? +
Usually 8-15% more, because the center panel is thicker stock wood and the bevel cut takes an extra mill pass.
Can I paint raised panel cabinets white? +
Yes, and many traditional kitchens look great this way. The shadow line from the bevel still gives you the depth without the heavy wood-grain reading.
Will raised panel cabinets hurt my resale value? +
Not if your home's architecture supports it. A Mediterranean villa with slab cabinet doors can actually hurt resale more than the same villa with proper raised panel cabinets.
What's the difference between cathedral, arched, and square top raised panel cabinets? +
Square top is the most common and reads formal. Arched has a gentle convex curve at the top — softer, more inviting. Cathedral has a pointed Gothic arch — most traditional, most ornate.
Do raised panel cabinets work in a small kitchen? +
They can, but they tend to read busy. In a kitchen under 120 sf with 30-inch uppers, the visual texture of raised panel cabinets can crowd the space. Slab or shaker cabinets are usually a better fit in small rooms.
