Make the exposed sides of cabinets as attractive as the fronts by adding frames, mouldings or shelving. Soffit areas are definitely a place for a personalized touch. Stacked mouldings, three or four deep, can be used with stunning results. Many homeowners want to dress up the look of kitchen cabinetry and islands with furniture-like details and such specialty finishes as coloring, glazing, whitewashing, antiquing or pickling. Bend the rules and create kitchens with interesting eye appeal by using cabinets with varying heights and depths.
Taller cabinets offer design flexibility.
Lower cabinets have solid doors and are used for storage, while the upper doors are made of glass to display personal items.
