Each of them will fit better in one project than the other; everything will depend on the space available and the taste and lifestyle of the residents. Most American kitchens are built on a bespoke design, either by a cabinetmaker or a custom furniture company. But many people build their own kitchenettes in wood, stone, and even masonry, using modular cabinets to complete the space.
