8 Types of Cabinet Molding and How to Use Them Properly: Elevate Your Kitchen Design

Cabinet molding is the unsung hero of kitchen design, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space. At MANA Kitchens, where every detail matters, we explore seven types of cabinet molding and how to use them to elevate your kitchen design.

1. Crown Molding:
Installed at the top of cabinets, crown molding adds a finishing touch that brings a sense of grandeur to your kitchen. It creates a seamless transition between cabinets and the ceiling, enhancing the overall aesthetic.

2. Light Rail Molding:
Placed at the bottom of upper cabinets, light rail molding conceals under-cabinet lighting fixtures while providing a polished and cohesive look. It's a functional and stylish addition to modern kitchen designs.

3. Cove Molding:
With a concave shape, cove molding is an elegant choice for framing the edges of cabinets. It adds a subtle detail that contributes to the overall visual appeal of your kitchen.

4. Rope Molding:
Featuring a twisted or braided design, rope molding adds a touch of classic charm. Use it as a decorative accent on cabinet doors or as a border for kitchen islands to introduce a sense of sophistication.

5. Beadboard Molding:
Ideal for achieving a cottage or farmhouse aesthetic, beadboard molding adds texture and visual interest. It can be applied to cabinet doors or used as a decorative panel on the sides of cabinets.

6. Picture Frame Molding:
Picture frame molding creates a framed effect on cabinet doors, resembling the look of a classic picture frame. It adds depth and character, making it a popular choice for traditional and transitional kitchen designs.

7. Base Molding:
Installed at the bottom of base cabinets, base molding provides a finished look while concealing the cabinet's feet. It creates a cohesive appearance and complements the overall design of your kitchen.

8. Scribe Molding: Scribe molding is perfect for concealing gaps between cabinets and walls, creating a seamless and polished look. It's a practical addition that adds a touch of finesse to the edges of your kitchen cabinets.
