Kitchen Cabinets – Contemporary Vs. Traditional
Cabinets usually fall into either a contemporary or traditional style category. But there is a wide range of flexibility within the two types.
Often a frameless style is considered more contemporary than traditional, but this is not always the case. There are so many ways to design a contemporary kitchen that you can work with various cabinet styles and still convey a contemporary style.
One aspect is certain – for a contemporary look, you need simplicity, so it boils down to this – traditional cabinets have more detail, contemporary cabinets have little or none.
Traditional cabinet doors are either a raised panel or a flat panel. Raised panel cabinets have a frame with the inside panel raised. Flat panel doors have a recessed inner panel with the frame around the outside.
Contemporary cabinets usually are slab type cabinets – just a plain slab of wood, laminate or often steel.
