Cabinet visualizer
Kitchen cabinet visualizer: new door styles and colors on your own kitchen
What would my kitchen look like with white cabinets? Or sage green, or navy lowers under white uppers? Upload a photo and find out on your own cabinets, in your own light, without painting a single sample door.
Choose the door style, the color and the overlay separately for the upper and lower cabinets, then add pulls. The AI redraws the cabinet fronts and keeps the boxes, appliances and layout where they are.

Before
AfterHow it works
Change the cabinets in three steps
- 01
Photograph the main cabinet wall
Face the longest run of cabinets with the doors closed. Even, bright light keeps the new color honest, so avoid harsh sun striping across the doors.
- 02
Set uppers and lowers
Choose a door style, overlay and color for the lower cabinets, then the uppers. Pick the same for both, or split them for a two-tone kitchen. Matte or gloss finishes the look.
- 03
Swap colors until one sticks
Run the same photo with each color you are torn between. Keep the door style fixed while you compare colors, so you are judging one change at a time.
What you can try
Door styles, colors and stains you can try
Door styles come with reference images the AI follows. Colors come from a palette of 16 popular paint shades (whites such as Alabaster and White Dove, greiges, Saybrook Sage, Forest Green, Naval and Hale Navy), a custom color picker, and 8 wood stains.
Door styles
All cabinet options12 styles in total. Every lower style comes in full overlay, standard overlay and inset; the uppers add glass-panel, glass-mullion and floating-shelf options.

Shaker, thin shaker or slab?
A shaker door is a flat center panel inside a square frame, which is why it suits almost any kitchen. Thin shaker narrows the frame for a lighter, more modern line; beaded shaker adds a small bead inside the frame for a traditional touch. Raised and arched panels push further toward classic, while a solid slab door and V-groove read as contemporary.
If you are refacing or painting the cabinets you have, pick the style closest to your existing doors so you are judging color alone.
Inset, full overlay or standard overlay
Overlay is how the door sits on the cabinet frame. Full overlay doors cover almost the whole frame for a seamless, modern front. Standard overlay leaves a strip of frame showing between doors, the look of many existing kitchens. Inset doors sit flush inside the frame, a furniture-like detail usually seen in traditional and high-end kitchens. It is a subtle change in a photo, and a large one in price, so it is worth seeing before you ask for quotes.
Paint on screen versus paint on a door
The palette names are a guide to the shade, not a color match. Screens, the light in your photo and the sheen of the finish all move the result. Use the visualizer to settle the direction, say a warm white over a stark one or sage over navy, then paint a sample board and look at it on the cabinets morning and evening.

Cabinet colors in real kitchens
Community kitchens list the door style and color for each design, so you can see the same green or navy in several rooms with different light and countertops.
Questions
Cabinet visualizer questions
- Can I see my kitchen with white cabinets?
- Yes. Choose a white from the palette (Extra White, Pure White, Alabaster or White Dove, for example) for the upper and lower cabinets and generate. Comparing two whites side by side is a good use of a design.
- Can I do two-tone cabinets?
- Yes. Upper and lower cabinets have separate color and door style settings, so navy lowers under white uppers, or wood lowers under painted uppers, take one design to preview. An island is usually drawn with the lower cabinet setting.
- Can I keep my door style and only change the color?
- The AI redraws the doors in the style you select. Choose the style closest to your current doors and only the color will appear to change.
- Can I use any paint color?
- Yes. Besides the 16 preset shades and 8 wood stains, a custom color picker accepts any color. Treat the result as an approximation and check a physical sample.
- Does it show glass-front uppers or open shelving?
- Yes. Upper cabinets can be glass-panel or glass-mullion doors, or replaced with thick or thin floating shelves.
- Is it free?
- Yes, with a free account: 3 free designs every month at standard quality and no credit card. More designs are available on paid plans.
