That includes kitchen design and cabinet styles. Ikea popularized the super-clean lined design that caught on with minimalists in America. You don&#8217;t have to be into modern design to appreciate, and use, some of the elements of this type of design in your plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of those elements is European style cabinets. They work equally as well in a transitional or modern farmhouse design as they do in a contemporary design. European style cabinets are also known as frameless cabinets. That means with the door closed, you won&#8217;t be able to see the base cabinet behind it. It&#8217;s a smooth, clean style that&#8217;s catching on quickly in American markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frameless cabinets were once a custom item that required specialized installation. But as they became more popular and more readily available, they also became more accessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Framed Cabinets, aka, American Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>American style cabinets have a clear outline of the base cabinets showing between the doors of the cabinets. They are generally a more simple construction that don&#8217;t require special hinges or hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are a classic look and a common feature of traditional designs. However, they work just as well in transitional kitchen designs. Contemporary kitchen designs usually skip American style cabinets in favor of something a bit more minimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Ready-to-Assemble European Kitchen Cabinets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>European style cabinets now come in the ready-to-assemble format.
