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! |
