![]() ![]() The cabinets and drawers are comparatively larger than framed cabinetry in order to cover more area. Since the doors can only be mounted to the sides of the box and cover the entire cavity, only full-overlay doors can be used. The concept is simple - the face frame is eliminated and just the box remains. The doors are attached directly to the sides of the cabinet box for a clean, modern look. Without the frame, frameless cabinets rely on a thicker box for strength and stability. Frameless A more contemporary cabinet design, frameless cabinets are the European way of manufacturing cabinets that has become increasing popular in the American kitchen. ![]() Since some frames can be cut from one solid piece of wood, the different arrangements of drawers and doors are limitless. You can create a uniform, flush-mounted look by mounting the doors inside the frame (full overlay) or get a little risk-ay and reveal part of the frame by mounting the doors to the front of the frame (partial overlay). Framed cabinets are also more flexible since they have more design possibilities for creating a customized look. The main advantage to this construction is that it gives the cabinets more strength and sturdiness since the doors are secured to the frame. The door is then attached to the frame which adds dimension to the door front. As the word suggests, the face of framed cabinets have a 1-1/2 inch frame resembling a flat picture frame. We help break it down below so you can find which option is best for you! Framed Framed cabinetry is the traditional way American cabinet manufacturers have built cabinets and what you will find in a typical kitchen today. And what do more options mean for you? Say it with me, "More customized!" But wait, what does framed and frameless mean aside from the obvious that one is framed and the other is not? Well it has to do with the construction of your cabinets. We're happy to announce that our friends over at Omega Cabinetry have added another fantastic option to the list framed or frameless. If that hasn't completely sold you, our cabinet gallery takes away any stress of choosing by letting you scroll-through and easily compare the various styles without you ever leaving the sofa (which is way prettier than Susie's sofa, just sayin'). And more customized means more showing off in front of Susie down the road. Although there are many decisions to be made, such as material, wood species, finishes, door styles, embellishments, and so on, the truth is more options mean the more customized your cabinets can be to your specific taste and needs. LOL! OK – let me know what you chose and how it worked out! Would love to hear your advice now that you’ve also been there and back.Cabinets are the backbone of the kitchen (though you might also say it's the face but hey we could argue body parts all day long). Ive been told to heavily research the cabinet maker that was recommended by my contractor (Woodland – in South Dakota) but Im still skeptical, and of course my contractor has to install them perfectly! He is a personal family friend and I don’t want my new kitchen to be the demise of our friendship because of inset cabinets. I thought “well if they cant do it well for their own cabinetry showroom, who is going to care if they do it well at my house?” So then I was 100% overlay… and now Im second guessing again. THEN I went to a showroom (a couple actually) and was appalled at the gaps and errors you could see immediately. At first I was 100% inset because I have the budget and they look custom and gorgeous and theyre in all the high end kitchens. Im preparing a kitchen reno this year and going over and over which I should choose. Hi Holly, I was reading your blog exchange convo w/ Carrie from 2018 and wondering how your kitchen turned out and if you chose inset or full overlay.
