Accents

Decorative elements added to kitchen cabinets to enhance visual appeal and create a custom, furniture-like look. Cabinet accents include corbels, rosettes, onlays, rope moldings, fluted columns, and turned posts. They are typically crafted from wood or resin and applied to the surface of doors, face frames, or hoods. Accents allow homeowners to personalize stock or semi-custom cabinetry.
