The Ornate Style of cabinetry can start with Traditional or Modern cabinets, that are then detailed with decorative corbels, fluted molding, integral columns, paterned or hand-carved molding under the crown, appliques and more.

Ornate does not mean "gaudy"!
Certain home-architecture styles requre an ornate appearance in their trim-work and cabinetry.

Gothic and Greek Revival, Neoclassical, Early Federal, Tudor Revival and Romanesque are just a few of the architectural housing styles that beg for ornate kitchens, baths, feature rooms and highly detailed built-in storage.

The title 'Ornate' really refers to a second layer of detailing in design that gives depth, substance and artistic creativity to a feature room or home.
A Tip - when utilizing an ornate concept for historical accuracy, it is vitally important to consider the countertop color, veining and edge-treatment that will complete the design!
