Traditional cabinet doors and kitchens are typically very symmetrical in design with colors that vary from dark or medium stains to clean white, cream, classic blue, red and khaki to more subdued yellows, pinks and greens. Trim work and decorative molding is often used to dress up cabinets, and paneled cabinet ends and wainscot on walls and island backs create a finished, traditional look. Turned legs on cabinets and furniture style islands and hutches in a different color than the surrounding cabinets are also a popular traditional design element. Traditional cabinet door designs can vary greatly from red oak raised panel designs to painted, flat panel shaker.
