Traditional Cabinets

Richly Ornate Cabinet Design

Elegant, inviting and reminiscent of a not-so-distant past, traditional cabinet design is best summed up as ornate, rich and decorative. Usually embodying the golden age of Europe, traditional design styles use a variety of colors, elaborate motifs, and a blend of materials to breathe new life into century-old styling. In today’s hurry-up world, this design style maintains order and refinement through symmetry and balance.
