Define Your Dream Home: The Power of Cabinetry



Cabinetry is one of the most important aspects of a home. It is incorporated in every room. Learning the basics about cabinet styles, shapes, and finishes can help you define your dream home.
"No other single kitchen element has the transforming power of cabinetry. In style and color, cabinetry defines the look of a room and often influences the feel of an entire home." -Better Homes and Gardens, All About Cabinetry 
There are three types of cabinetry stock, semi-custom and custom. Edgewood Custom Cabinetry specializes in custom cabinets with the highest quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. We will engage you in our consultative design and selection process to offer you the look you aspire for.
A minor detail is choosing cabinetry with a face frame or not. It basically just has to do with where the hinges are. Of course, frameless cabinets offer a little more room and a more contemporary feel.
There are three types of cabinetry frame styles full overlay, partial-overlay and a full inset. Full overlay frames give a clean, modern look. Partial-overlay frames are more traditional. Full insets have drawers and doors that fit flush with the face frame and require patience and precision during construction.
There are many door shapes to choose from. Square doors are great for a modern or traditional feel. Arches offer a cottage or country finish. Slabs can be modern or made to look retro. Raised panels offer interest.
Door inserts are another thing to consider. Recesses panels provide a clean look. Decorative molding adds an elegant touch. Beaded boards are great for a country-style. Glass can add an airy feel.
Finishes are important in dealing with color and texture. Natural wood grain, stain, or a coat of paint are options.  Natural is of course most organic. Stains offer a natural appearance with a hint of color. Paint options are limitless.
Finally, choose a finish. Add a glaze for dimension. Distresses cabinets have a vintage charm. It is all up to you.
