Knotty Walnut Cabinet Door

Walnut cabinet doors bring natural wood character to kitchen and bathroom renovations without the premium price tag of solid walnut. These doors use high-quality walnut veneer over a durable substrate, giving you the look of real wood grain at a fraction of the cost of solid wood doors.

Walnut works across multiple design styles. You'll see it in contemporary kitchens with handleless cabinets, transitional spaces that mix traditional and modern elements, and even full traditional kitchens when paired with the right hardware. The wood grain is naturally linear with occasional darker streaks, so no two doors look identical.

For replacement projects, walnut cabinet doors can refresh your existing cabinet boxes without the cost of full cabinet replacement. Contractors and DIYers use this approach regularly. Measure your current doors, order new walnut doors in the same size, and swap them out. Most replacement projects take a weekend once you have the doors in hand.

Walnut pairs well with a range of cabinet materials. For two-tone kitchens, combining walnut doors on base cabinets with white or gray uppers has become standard practice. You can also mix walnut slab doors with glass-front doors on the same wall cabinets to break up the look.

The finish matters for durability. Textured walnut hides fingerprints and scratches better than smooth high-gloss versions. Matte and satin finishes fall somewhere in between. If you're renovating a rental property or high-traffic home, textured or matte walnut makes more sense than high-gloss.

For custom sizing, walnut doors are available in any dimension to fit your specific cabinet openings. European-style frameless construction works particularly well with walnut. The full-overlay doors cover the entire cabinet face, showing only the wood grain with minimal visible hardware.
