How to Use Kitchen Cabinets Without Knobs

Kitchen cabinets without knobs will add a contemporary style to your kitchen. The streamlined look of a cabinet door without any hardware showing is a mark of modern sensibility. Although it may seem like the doors would be difficult to open, the back edge along the side of the door where the handle would normally be located is routed with a rounded cove edge so that you can grasp it with your fingertips.
