Contemporary encompasses styles from the 1940s to the present, with Europe—especially Italy, Germany and Scandinavia—leading the way.

- Frameless cabinets with oversized hardware.
- Cabinet material: stainless steel; white or bold-colored laminate; or subtly grained woods such as birch, ash or mapleCabinet door style: slab or horizontal lift-up.
- Frosted glass inserts
- Stainless steel and other metallic accents
- Curved cabinets and counters

Dear Linda, Everything came together so well, thank you Linda for all of your careful planning- I appreciate all the details you suggested that I would never have thought of- it's all even so much better that I imagined it would be! And Randy, thank you most of all for your patience!! And the organization of all the parts, and the quality of workers you use- I feel so fortunate to have found you to do this for me!Karen G.
