The Modern Style of cabinetry design may utilize any of the Traditional door styles, and the Solid-Flat Panel door falls into the Modern category.

However, Modern Style doors and drawer fronts will 'overlay' the cabinet openings more fully to the edge of the cabinet frame, thus the more common term:
"Full Overlay".

There is no specific advantage to this method, it is simply a European overlay with American style 5-piece doors, and has become quite popular in the past few years.

When seeking a tastefull bridge between Modern and Ornate, a clean, sleek look, or a european appearance without sacrificing raised panels, Modern Style cabinets are the answer. Italian Renaissance and Villas, Early English Colonials and even Art-Modern homes can all benefit greatly from the right Modern design!
