The minimalism wave:
The modernization and minimalism wave has hit kitchen cabinets too and thus adoption of clean aesthetics is an obvious impact. Modern cabinets do not have the ornate design which was common in the traditional cabinets. Modern cabinets usually feature recessed panel door, smooth edge profiles and simple clean lines. Even the handles have a low-profile style. Sleek handles made of nickel are replacing the traditional round knobs. This type of cabinetry with clean and simple aesthetics works very well with all modern kitchens. As the experts suggest, this trend of sleek and minimalistic kitchen cabinetry is here to stay.
