Let's choose a route
What makes a cabinet contemporary?
Contemporary style isn’t tied to one era — it means whatever reads as current right now, which today is slab and flat-panel doors, frameless (European full-access) construction, integrated or bar-pull hardware, and mixed materials like glass, metal and stone. Unlike "modern," which refers to the specific mid-century movement, contemporary kitchens evolve with design trends.
Prefabricated contemporary cabinets
You don’t need a full-custom build to get the look. Prefabricated contemporary cabinets — RTA or pre-assembled slab-door lines from our Modernform and Fabuwood collections — deliver the same clean-lined, frameless aesthetic at stock and semi-custom price points, and ship in days to weeks rather than months. Ask your designer to spec a prefab contemporary line if you want the style without a full-custom budget or lead time.
Common Questions
What cabinet doors look contemporary?
Slab (flat-panel) doors are the most common contemporary choice, but a simple square shaker with minimal reveal and handle-less hardware also reads contemporary — it’s the clean lines and hardware that matter more than the exact door profile.
Are contemporary kitchen cabinets more expensive?
Not inherently — slab-door contemporary lines are available at RTA, pre-assembled and semi-custom price points, same as traditional styles. Frameless construction can carry a modest premium over framed boxes in some lines.
Contemporary vs. modern cabinets — is there a difference?
Yes. "Modern" refers to the mid-century design movement (think warm wood tones and tapered legs); "contemporary" simply means current — so contemporary style shifts over time while modern stays fixed to that era.
