How to Choose the Right Finish and Style for Your Custom Outdoor Cabinets
Choosing the right custom cabinets is one of the most important decisions when designing an outdoor kitchen. More than just storage, your cabinets set the tone for your space, blending style, function, and long-lasting performance.
At American Outdoor Cabinets, we offer high-end HDPE cabinets in a wide range of colors, finishes, and styles that are fully customizable to your design vision. Whether you’re looking for a sleek, modern look or a more natural, rustic aesthetic, this guide will help you navigate all the available options – from finishes and door styles to hardware and hidden features.
Choose from 13 Fade-Resistant Colors
Our HDPE cabinets are available in 13 rich, UV-protected colors that won’t fade, peel, or crack—even in Florida’s sun and humidity.
Most of our palette features earthy, neutral tones that blend beautifully with natural landscapes. However, bold options like Indigo, Espresso, and Mocha add a dramatic, modern edge to any outdoor space.
Visualize It: Try Our Interactive Cabinet Color Preview Tool
Choosing the right color for your custom outdoor cabinets just got easier. Our Outdoor Cabinet Design Options page features an interactive color preview tool that lets you mix and match finishes in real-time. Whether you’re leaning toward a warm wood grain or a bold, modern shade like Indigo, you can test out different combinations to see what best fits your outdoor space.

Add Texture with 8 Stunning Wood Grain Finishes
Love the look of natural wood but don’t want the upkeep? Our eight wood grain finishes give you the warm, organic appearance of wood – without the risk of fading, rotting, or warping. These finishes are built into our HDPE material and remain beautiful for years.
Each grain adds texture and depth, making your outdoor cabinetry feel high-end and inviting, especially when paired with stainless appliances or stone countertops.
Pick a Door Style That Matches Your Aesthetic
We offer 9 distinct door styles, ranging from modern shaker panels and minimalist groove designs to more classic raised panel options (such as Americana or Classic styles).
Whether your vision is clean and contemporary or cozy and traditional, there’s a door style to bring it to life. These design elements can completely transform the tone of your outdoor kitchen – even before the appliances and finishes are added.
