All about frameless kitchen cabinets
Frameless cabinets are a growing trend in North American kitchens. Unlike traditional framed cabinets, frameless designs provide a contemporary look and better accessibility, making them a hit with both homeowners and designers.
What are frameless kitchen cabinets?
Frameless kitchen cabinets don’t have a front frame (or face frame). This design gives them a sleek, modern look and more storage space inside. The doors and drawers sit flush with the cabinet box for a smooth appearance. The frameless style was popularized by European cabinets and then moved into North American kitchens.

Benefits of frameless kitchen cabinets
Why are frameless cabinets so popular in kitchen design and custom kitchens? We only offer frameless kitchen cabinets, so we have a few benefits that we can chat about as to why we prefer this style:
- Contemporary appearance
- Easy access
- More storage space
Clean Lines & Contemporary Appearance
Frameless cabinets offer a sleek and modern look with their clean lines and smooth surfaces. Without the face frame, they provide a seamless, uncluttered appearance that fits perfectly in contemporary kitchens.
Easier Organization & More Storage
Frameless cabinets not only look great but also make organizing your kitchen easier. Without the face frame, you get more storage space and easier access to your items. This design allows for wider drawers and shelves, giving you plenty of room to keep everything tidy and within reach. It’s a smart choice for anyone looking to maximize their kitchen’s efficiency and style.
This is why frameless cabinets are also called full access cabinets: because the opening extends to the edges of the cabinet box and is not hindered by a frame.
Are frameless cabinets better?
Frameless cabinets differ from framed kitchen cabinets because they do not have a decorative face frame. The cabinet fronts extend to the edges of the cabinet box. This is aligned with European cabinet trends and is a more contemporary style than framed cabinets.
Are frameless cabinets better?
It is certainly true that frameless cabinets are more popular, but neither one is “better”. It is up to personal preference. Some people love the look of framed kitchen cabinets because they feel familiar and traditional.
