Foscari Interiors has specialized in modern cabinetry since we opened in 2007 as Houston’s first showroom for accessible, high-end European custom cabinetry. Modern design is what we know best, and we offer it for every room in the home.
This guide explains what modern cabinetry from Foscari includes, the lines and finishes available, and how it carries through a house.
What Makes Cabinetry Modern
- Frameless construction: doors and drawers sit edge to edge with tight, even gaps.
- Flat or minimal fronts: slab doors, fine frames or fluted surfaces rather than heavy profiles.
- Little or no visible hardware: channels, push-to-open fronts, integrated grooves or slim pulls.
- Integration: appliances behind panels, lighting built into shelves, storage that reads as architecture.
- Material focus: lacquer, wood veneer, stone, glass and metal carry the design.
Modern Kitchens
The kitchen is where most clients start. A Foscari modern kitchen can be fully minimal, with handleless fronts and full-height cabinet walls, or warmer, with wood veneers and textured surfaces. TM Italia’s Gola collection, for example, carves the handle groove directly into the door for a seamless look, while its Penta collection uses fluted fronts for texture.
Modern Bathrooms
Wall-hung vanities, integrated solid-surface sinks and tall storage give bathrooms the same clean lines as the kitchen. Foscari offers Italian bathroom furniture from Casabath as well as custom cabinetry vanities.
Modern Closets and Wardrobes
Glass doors, aluminum frames, integrated lighting and lacquered or veneered fronts turn closets into furniture. Foscari designs walk-ins, reach-ins and wardrobes using lines including KICO Italy and Johnson.
Modern Living Spaces
Wall units, media walls, shelving and home offices complete a modern interior. When the kitchen opens to the living room, coordinating the two is what makes the space feel designed as a whole.
