A Designer’s Perspective

As a designer and owner of Bath + Kitchen in Alexandria, Virginia, I closely monitor kitchen design trends and evaluate countless cabinet styles to ensure my team delivers the epitome of elegance to our clients. One cabinet door style that has consistently caught my eye is the Meridien door style from Dura Supreme Cabinetry. But what makes it stand out in a sea of options?

Meridien’s Signature Design: Where Detailing Meets Elegance

The essence of the Meridien cabinet door style lies in its attention to detail. The intricate detailing along its inside-edge profile transforms the traditional flat panel into a work of art. This design element imparts a subtle sophistication, setting the Meridien apart as an “almost” shaker style but with a distinctly refined edge. Imagine your kitchen or bathroom with this exquisite detailing—it’s a sight to behold!

Versatility in Application: Meridien as an Inset Door

Beyond its popular full-overlay variant, the Meridien is also available as an inset door. This option offers a different aesthetic dimension while retaining the elegant detailing that defines the style. Whether you prefer a full overlay or an inset look, the Meridien door adapts beautifully, offering a seamless integration into any design theme.

Rich Palette of Wood Options

The Meridien door style’s adaptability extends to its wide array of material options. Tailored to cater to diverse aesthetic preferences and design requirements, it is available in several wood species and finishes, including:

  • Cherry: Admired for its rich, warm hues and uniform grain pattern.
  • Hickory: Offers a robust, distinct grain pattern and dramatic color variation.
  • Knotty Alder: Brings a rustic charm and an informal appearance. This wood species is known for its variety of knots and character.
  • Maple: A smooth and creamy wood species that provides a subtle, refined grain.
  • Paintable: Meridien’s delicate detailing looks especially beautiful with painted finishes. It’s also ideal for custom color applications.
  • Quarter-Sawn White Oak: A lighter wood species featuring a unique grain pattern with a distinctive “fleck” across the gran. 
  • Red Oak: Classic and versatile with a prominent grain that ranges from a tight, straight grain to a distinctive arch pattern.
  • Rustic Hickory: Adds a rugged, natural appeal. This wood species is known for its rustic appearance with a variety of knots, burls, mineral streaks, and pitch pockets as well as its dramatic color variation.

Each material choice adds a unique character to the Meridien, enhancing its versatility and appeal in various design contexts. While you can choose from a variety of wood species and paint finishes to customize the look, the door style itself cannot be modified. Imagine the transformation in your home with these rich, textural wood options!
