ARCH

In the realm of cabinetry, the term “arch” commonly refers to a cabinet door style that features a half-circle shape reminiscent of an inverted “U.” While this design can add a touch of old-world charm to a cabinet set, it is not typically incorporated into the actual structure of the cabinets, but rather achieved through the use of valances or custom cabinetry schemes.

The most common use of the arch design in cabinetry is through embossing or engraving it onto the top doors of a cabinet set. This design element creates the illusion of greater height in a kitchen space by visually extending the length of the cabinet doors without altering their actual dimensions. As such, the arch design is a popular choice for those seeking to enhance the spaciousness of their kitchen.

There are numerous style options available for arch doors, whether achieved through beveling the door surface or attaching carved pieces onto the door. Regardless of the specific method used, the visual effect remains the same, offering a simple yet effective means of vertically enhancing kitchen space.
