Six door families.
Every finish layer.
A few curated starting points.
A door profile describes the cabinet front; a style describes the overall visual direction. A collection connects the design language across rooms. Use the door and finish studies below to discuss a configuration, then review the appropriate collection and style guide.

Compare profile and proportion at the same scale. The drawn finishes illustrate a palette; use the collection and material guides to develop the actual door specification.
Original door illustrations for comparing profiles. Review the opening detail, edge, construction and physical finish sample as part of the project specification.
What combines with what.
Compare door families and surface directions. Use the project references as visual starting points, then review the actual construction and finish for your own configuration.
