Pilaster

A flat, rectangular column-like decorative element applied to the surface of cabinetry, projecting slightly from the cabinet face. Pilasters add architectural formality and are typically placed at the junction of cabinet runs, flanking a range hood, or at the ends of an island. They can be simple and flat or include fluted, reeded, or carved details to match the kitchen's design vocabulary.
