Contemporary
This style has clean and simple lines. Cabinets are usually futuristic in look with no carvings or particularly ornate features. The emphasis is on style and practical sophistication.
Shaker
This is a simple and utilitarian style that features flat panel doors, wooden countertops and brass hardware.
French Country
These are warm inviting kitchens full of wood and soft colors. Natural materials feature strongly, as do large furniture pieces with ornate carvings.
