Nine Kitchens

A contemporary kitchen is frequently designed using flat panel cabinets- this, however, does not make them all the same, or in the least bit dull. I needed to collect some samples pictures for a client, and thought I would share them with you. What makes these kitchens, with the same cabinet style, unique?

1. The kitchen above is made with a beautiful burled veneer.
   
2. This kitchen has a sharp contrast with bright white and beautiful hardware.
3. I love the corner cut out of the drawer in this kitchen in lieu of hardware. Some of the drawers have hardware- which is very unique.
4. This kitchen uses a very unique veneer again.
5. Check out the strong horizontal line to this veneer...
6. Mixing up your wood species, or in this case, just your stain, adds style and personality all your own.
7. This kitchen is using contemporary metal shelves instead of the more predictable wood shelves.
8. Less truly can be more. This flat look has a beauty all its own.
9. Use different glasses- consider not only clear and opaque, but rain glass, or like in this kitchen, a square pattern.

So- there you go- essentially the same flat panel cabinet style- but none of them are the same "style". Photos thanks to Great American Kitchens vol III and Kitchen Trends.
