What Are Standard Overlay Cabinets?
Standard overlay cabinets, sometimes called partial overlay, show more of the cabinet’s face frame around each door and drawer. This design often eliminates the need for hardware since the thicker edges of the doors and drawers are easy to grip and open. They’re a budget-friendly option but might not be the best fit if you need to store large items due to the extra space required between doors.
Pros and Cons of Standard Overlay Cabinets
Pros:
- More affordable than full overlay cabinets
- Can achieve a minimalist look without hardware
Cons:
- Limited space for larger dishes and bowls due to the center stile between doors
What Are Full Overlay Cabinets?
Full overlay cabinets are commonly found in high-end homes and offer a sleek, modern appearance. The doors and drawers cover almost the entire face frame, which maximizes storage space and provides a more uniform façade. This style is ideal for storing wider items and offers an unobstructed view of the cabinet’s contents, making organizing and accessing your kitchen essentials easier.
Pros and Cons of Full Overlay Cabinets
Pros:
- Allows for storage of wider items
- Streamlined look with minimal visible frame
Cons:
- Generally more expensive
- Requires hardware since there’s minimal space to grip the edges

Choosing Between Full Overlay and Standard Overlay Cabinets
Your choice mainly depends on your budget and storage needs. Standard overlay cabinets can be cost-effective and still look stylish, whereas full overlay cabinets offer a more contemporary look and better functionality for storing larger items. Consider your budget, the desired aesthetic, and how much space you need when making your decision.
