Depending on the size and nature of the kitchen, you can choose from different models - such as cabinets above the worktop, cabinets under the worktop or special sink base cabinets. With an artistic decor, you can perfectly round off the furnishing ensemble in your kitchen. If you have enough space, you can also place shelves between two cabinets on the wall - this looks particularly elegant.
