Inset cabinets are installed into (or in-line) with the cabinet frame. When closed, the door panel is completely flat and you require a pull or knob to open. This also means the resulting design is very smooth and sleek, qualities that can be incorporated into all sorts of kitchen styles. Hinges can either be exposed or hidden by the frame.

The smoothness and clean appearance come with additional costs (up to 30% more expensive than overlay doors which they are most commonly compared to).

However, the design is simply stunning and can fit in a wide variety of homes.
