They are made in sizes and shapes able to contain, for example, the microwave or blender, because, having frames, they tend to be more resilient.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Handles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>European cabinets do not have handles.<\/strong> Surprisingly, these open from the bottom or top of the door itself. This also contributes to the<strong> continuity effect, stylises the space and makes the kitchen more aesthetically pleasing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unlike the previous ones,<\/strong> <strong>American kitchen cabinets do have handles on the doors. They can be simple or complex pieces of different colors and designs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Colors that are commonly used<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The colors used in the European style are <strong>generally the colors of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=v5mgNAbRQxQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">minimalist style<\/a>: white or light gray.<\/strong> <strong>Anyway, you can also find more elegant and classic styles, with dark green, French blue, or even Mediterranean styles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instead, the representative color range of American cabinets is usually yellow or classic varnished wood, which makes them look bright and combined with brown marble.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/gabinettokitchen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mesa-de-trabajo-2-100-2-1024x415.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gabinettokitchen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mesa-de-trabajo-2-100-2-1024x415.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gabinettokitchen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mesa-de-trabajo-2-100-2-300x121.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gabinettokitchen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mesa-de-trabajo-2-100-2-768x311.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gabinettokitchen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mesa-de-trabajo-2-100-2-1536x622.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gabinettokitchen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Mesa-de-trabajo-2-100-2.jpg 2001w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>An American classic varnished wood cabinet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Now that you have a list of ideas and models of cabinets in both styles, it will be easier to choose the ones that will best suit the kitchen of your home.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/gabinettokitchen.com\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Don\u2019t forget to ask us for a free quote today!<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American and European kitchens differ in their styles, materials, and organization of the furniture and appliances.
