Modern cabinet is a design style that incorporates minimal detail, clean lines and an open floor plan. If you are considering modern cabinetry for your home, be sure to work with a kitchen design expert to ensure that the cabinets will fit your space and suit your lifestyle.

When it comes to choosing the right color for your modern cabinets, neutral tones remain popular. However, there is also a trend toward deep blues, earthy greens and even dark shades of purple. Another option is to choose a two-tone color scheme. This combines upper and lower cabinets in different colors to add visual interest to your kitchen.

Regardless of which modern cabinet material you choose, it is important to consider the natural grain of the wood. Some woods have a prominent pattern that may not look good in your kitchen, while others are more subtle with thin lines that blend in well with the base material.

Framed cabinet doors have rounded edges for a classic window frame look, or they can be milled to create a sharper, more modern look. Flat panel cabinets have no extra detail, raised panels or moldings, and are another light-decorated option.

Modern cabinetry can be made from a number of materials, including solid wood, plywood and medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Many manufacturers gravitate towards using MDF for their painted cabinets because it is less expensive than solid wood and has similar durability. MDF is also impervious to moisture, which makes it a good choice for humid areas.
