The second isn't a raised panel. I don't consider the first 2 dated. Yes to the raised panel.

Sorry, I really wasn’t sure what to call it, I assumed it was a raised panel.

Thanks, that’s also what I was thinking

Raised panel will never be dated. Raised panel is traditional. Now if you do a raised panel in any other shape then straight, then it will be dated, i.e. a "cathedral" or arch. All others will be trendy. Also, don't confuse the new term "on trend" with being cool and current. "On trend" is the same thing as "trendy". The only people that should do trendy are the very wealthy that can afford to renovate their houses as soon as that trendy item goes out of style.

We're remodeling our kitchen too and a couple of kitchen designers I've talked to suggested shaker, but I am drawn to the raised panel door. I think they're prettier than the shaker. The shaker looks boring to me. I think I'm going to buck the trend and go with the white raised panel too.

Neither of those doors look dated. Pick the one you like best.

When something's been around for 600 years or so, they all look dated.

I would like it if the word”dated” was eliminated from our vocabulary. Select the one you like best ...

That particular raised panel does not look like an authentic panel with rails and stiles. It looks like one molded piece. In addition the edges are molded. IMO the flat panel door is a better option.

The more detail in a door or drawer face, the more you shall detail clean the nooks and cranny's . That said, get the one you like the best, and the best you can afford on your budget. Just steer clear of arches : )

Consider the construction style into your design as well. In the photos below, we used a flat panel door (like shaker - but with a few small details added), but on the first one - we did full overlay (the door fully covers the face frame) and on the second we did inset (door sits inside face frame). Different looks using a similar door.

Thank you everyone! I really just love how the raised panel looks every time I see it, and I will try to accent it with more modern hardware to get a transitional look.
