Inset cabinets are constructed with doors or drawers designed to fit flush inside their cabinet frame. This creates a unique, classy, and custom look because there are no protruding edges or corners. To open and close these cabinets, you need a door pull, handle, or knob, since there are no spaces or lips to grip your fingers. Design lovers will enjoy choosing hardware that pops against the color or wood grain of the cabinet.
Inset cabinets are typically available in two looks: flush or beaded. Flush frames have a standard industrial look, with square edges that flush into the cabinet’s face. In contrast, beaded frames have a single border inside the cabinet openings. These create a more utilitarian and decorative look.
Wood is the most common material for making inset cabinets, although many people paint their cabinets a color rather than exposing the original wood grain.
