Looking through photos of kitchens for inspiration can sometimes leave you feeling bummed. The cabinets you see look so extravagant that they must be way above your budget; but that’s often not the case. With a few decorative details, your cabinets can really stand out.

All about the details

There are some kitchens that really shine. You know you like them better than the rest, but you just can’t quite pinpoint why. Often, it’s a small detail that gives it that extra oomph. Some examples of these decorative details include:

• Decorative supports – placed under wall cabinets as if supporting their weight
• Corbels –carved details that can make your kitchen feel very traditional
• Aprons – brings your cabinets and countertop overhang closer together
• Furniture Toe Kicks – used on an island, can give it a special feel in your kitchen

With a few decorative details, you can take your kitchen from “very pleasing” to the kitchen you’ve always wanted. Read about more decorative cabinet details here.
