When it comes to home improvement, every detail matters. If you’re updating your kitchen, the molding and trim of your cabinets will not only affect the final look of the space, but also its functionality. To help you plan the perfect remodeling, here are some of the finishing touches to add to the cabinetry of your kitchen.

Kitchen Cabinet Molding & Trim Options

1. Baseboard Molding

Baseboard molding doesn’t just need to go around your drywall. It may be added underneath floor-level cabinets to make them sit flush with the floor. If your fixtures are not custom-built, this will create the illusion that they are by making them fit perfectly in the space.

2. Light Rail Molding

This goes on the bottom of wall cupboards. If you have lighting under them, it will conceal the lamps or strip to reduce glare and provide a seamless look. You may pick a discreet type that bends in with your cabinets or an elaborate molding that makes a statement.

3. Crown Molding

This is used to finish the top of your wall cabinetry, making it flush with the ceiling. Much like baseboard molding, it will make store-bought cabinets appear to be custom by fitting the entire wall. It will also eliminate accumulated dust over your cabinets, reducing cleaning needs.

4. Cabinet Fillers

Spaces between rows of cabinetry or between cabinets and walls can be filled with a filler. They are installed vertically and run the height of the cabinet. They are often added into the cabinets on the end to create a buffer of space to prevent doors from hitting the wall when you open them.

5. Wood Valances

Valances are also used to connect different runs of cabinets. They’re common for units to the sides of the sink, since gaps may leave space for objects to fall between them. You can also use valances to trim out a custom range hood, creating a luxurious finishing touch.
