Cabinet Moulding

Add personal style to any room

Adding moulding to cabinets gives them a special flair and a stamp of personality. Available in multiple styles and designs, each type of cabinet moulding is a work of art in its own right, while supporting the overall design theme of a remodel.

What is cabinet moulding?

Cabinet moulding, sometimes spelled cabinet molding, is a long, narrow decorative piece of wood that is used to give cabinetry a customized look. It can be used to cover the space between the cabinets and the ceiling, installed atop or below a cabinet, or inserted into the cabinet front. Most of the time moulding is finished in the same color as the cabinetry, but it can also be finished in an accent color.

Types of Cabinet Moulding

Although there are several types of cabinet moulding available, here are a few varieties commonly found in homes.

Crown Moulding

As its name implies, this type of moulding rests at the very top of a cabinet, giving it a "crown" of decorative wood.

Stacked Moulding

Several types of cabinet crown moulding are placed one above another at the top of a cabinet, creating a "stacked" look with a dramatic, towering effect.

Insert Moulding

This type of cabinet moulding consists of a decorative insert that is incorporated into a cabinet’s exterior, creating a custom-built appearance.

Baseboard Moulding

Added at the floor level, baseboard moulding provides decorative furniture-like detailing that dresses up the toe-kick area of a base cabinet.

Light Rail Moulding
