How European Kitchen Cabinets Are Perfect for Modern Kitchens

July 7, 2025 By Modiani Kitchens

At Modiani Kitchens, we design and install modern custom kitchens that combine sleek, elegant form with purpose, and our European cabinets act as the perfect foil for the minimalist style of contemporary kitchens. With showrooms in Englewood, New Jersey, and Greenwich, Connecticut, we serve clients who wish to rejuvenate their modern kitchens with European or Italian-style cabinetry.

What Are European-Style Kitchen Cabinets?

European kitchen cabinets are known for their frameless construction, clean lines, and minimalist design. The materials and finishes available in European cabinetry are also broad, ranging from high-gloss lacquer to textured matte surfaces and wood veneers.

Italian Kitchen Cabinets bring form, function, style, aesthetic, and atmosphere to the streamlined designs of modern kitchens, allowing for an even broader range of personal expression.

A Refined Approach to Hardware & Handles

European cabinetry is known for refined construction and thoughtful design, with many styles eliminating handles, instead using push-to-open systems or recessed grips to keep surfaces uninterrupted.

Each detail of the cabinet’s hardware serves a purpose, reinforcing the clean lines and functional approach that define the European style. The broad range of available options allows for total personalization without loss of function. Whether accented with minimal pulls or left completely handleless, you will be stunned by what Italian cabinets can do for your kitchen remodel.

How Our Italian Cabinets Enhance Modern Kitchens

Our Italian-made cabinetry brings the best of European design to contemporary kitchens. These European cabinets are ideal for modern kitchen styles because they:

  • Make efficient use of every inch of space, and are ideal for different styles of homes
  • Enhance the visual appeal of the space
  • Allow for seamless integration of appliances and storage systems
  • Offer a wide range of customizable finishes and materials
  • Sturdy construction and a wide range of functionality

Our Italian cabinetry provides the foundation for a space that feels tailored, functional, and refined. When paired with the look of a contemporary kitchen, the effect is beautiful and seamless.

DECISIONS, DECISIONS KITCHEN CABINETS

May 11, 2021 By Modiani Kitchens

Updating or replacing kitchen cabinets is an effective way to give any kitchen a facelift. However, there are a lot of decisions that need to be made when it comes to your new kitchen cabinets. The expert design team at Modiani Kitchens can help you make kitchen cabinet decisions with confidence. 

Totally New, or a New Face?

Do you need totally new custom kitchen cabinets, or would simply updating the doors and fronts of drawers do? There are two ways to update your cabinets without actually getting new cabinets. The first is refacing the cabinets, which means taking the doors off, taking the fronts of the drawers off, and replacing them with new materials. For many people who like the structure and layout of their cabinets, this is a good way to quickly achieve a new look in the kitchen without actually having to do any demolition.

Another way to give your cabinets an updated look quickly is to paint or refinish them. In this approach, of course, the shape and overall look of the cabinets are retained, but they’re given a new cosmetic look. This is a great option if it’s just a matter of having dark and wanting light or vice versa.

Custom or Stock?

If you decide to get new cabinets, you’ll need to decide whether you’ll get custom cabinetry or stock cabinetry. Custom cabinetry is built to your specifications, so if you have a kitchen that doesn’t have average measurements, custom may be the way to go. Custom cabinets are also good if you have plenty of qualities you want present in the cabinets that may not be standard, such as special features that relate to your cooking. Stock cabinetry is cabinetry that you buy at the store that is built to common specifications. Stock cabinetry will work in most kitchens, but it is not custom-built to your specs, so your kitchen has to be the right shape and size for this to work. In terms of budget, stock is more affordable than custom.

Style

What type of style are you looking to achieve in the kitchen? Cabinets are one of the most overwhelming visual aspects of a kitchen, so it’s important to remember that the cabinets you choose will largely determine the overall look and feel of the kitchen. Do you want a modern and sleek European kitchen? Or warm and traditional cabinets? Knowing what you want in the kitchen and the rest of the home will help you make the best decisions when picking out the style of your new cabinets.

Hardware

The hardware you choose for your cabinets will also work to determine the overall look and feel of the kitchen. What types of pulls do you want? What types of knobs, handles, and finishes? It’s important to create a look that is seamless in the kitchen, so choosing ultra-modern cabinets and traditional hardware might be a no-no. If you have questions about what types of hardware would pair best with a particular set of cabinets, consult a designer at the kitchen showroom you’re shopping at, including our Englewood, NJ, and Greenwich, CT, locations. We look forward to helping.
