When looking for modern kitchen cabinets, style is important. Start by choosing the right style, then you can pick a finish and get the modern feel you want.

You may decide to find one elegant style, or you might have two that catch your eye. The good news is that you can’t go wrong by seamlessly blending more than one style.

If you’re looking for modern kitchen design ideas that complement your cabinets, check out these great style tips:

1. 1. Stay minimal: To maintain the airy feel of modern kitchens, minimize clutter and distracting design elements in the kitchen. Since open and clean spaces are a trademark of modern design, having cabinets that can store all your appliances can help you maintain this style. While you can still incorporate design features, they shouldn’t be too busy or complex.

1. 1. Mix textures: Mixing stone, wood and stainless steel are trademarks of modern kitchens. Bright white tiles and white stone countertops mix well with shiny steel appliances and stained or painted wood cabinets. Modern designs also give you the freedom to create texture with unique fixtures like knobs and faucets.

1. 1. Use contrast: While you might find stained or white cabinets in traditional kitchens, modern designs use contrast to draw the eye. You can bring attention to the room’s height by using darker-colored lower cabinets and white cabinets on top. Or, use a different color on the kitchen island cabinets than those around the room.

FINISHES

Stylish modern kitchen cabinets aren’t limited to one type of finish. You can achieve this look with natural woods and stains, different paint colors and more. At Wolf Home Products, we carry an excellent variety of door styles where you can choose great modern paints and stains.
