From cabinet door designs and wood grain direction to hardware selection and cabinet layout, we’re seeing horizontal grain and a very linear look throughout the custom cabinet and kitchen and bath industry.
Here are a few examples of the horizontal lines showing up in the cabinet design marketplace as well as our own cabinet door line.
The cabinet doors below feature TaylorCraft’s C101 cope and stick construction, with flat panels, shown left to right in Cherry Select, Walnut Select and Rift White Oak, with optional horizontal panel grain (vertical panel grain is standard on cabinet doors so horizontal panel grain must be specified).
Shown below: wide banks of TaylorCraft’s white oak 4S 3/4″ Shaker drawer fronts with vertical panel grain and extra wide, edge pull hardware placed horizontally at the top of the drawer fronts create continuity with the drawer front top edge horizontal lines.
Painted blue cabinets with wide, 4S 3/4″ Shaker drawer fronts and horizontal hardware create a modern, linear look in the buffet cabinet below.
Shown below: Bank of wide horizontal drawer fronts – long banks of same-height horizontal grain drawer fronts and extra wide drawer fronts which draw the eye horizontally, shown in Maple Veneer. Narrow, horizontal, stainless steel pulls also add to the linear look.
