What Makes Kitchen Cabinets Contemporary?
June 27th, 2008 by Home Pro
There are certain materials and structural elements that give contemporary kitchen cabinets their unique, futuristic feel.
Materials include plastic laminates, special wood veneers, enamels, lacquers, or metal foil laminate for the kitchen cabinet facings and textures such as horizontal ribbing in the surface or drawer heads for a high-tech look and feel.
Contemporary kitchen cabinets use frameless construction with full overlay doors and no toe kick panel for a high-tech feel. Accessories such as knobs and range hoods are often made of polished stainless steel. The countertops are normally made from tile, Corian, stainless steel or polished stone.
Overall, contemporary kitchen designs are intended to portray a very modern, futuristic feeling with clean, sleek lines.
