Many people like to add special accents areas to their kitchen cabinets. This can include decorative hardware, uniquely stained fronts, or glass doors. For something a little extra for your kitchen cabinets, use a fluted step out to make a unique design element.

Fluted Step Out Designs Create Symmetry

Fluted step outs are areas which create an outward curve between one of set of cabinets and the next. The flute is a horizontally grooved section of wood which normally begins at the end of one section of cabinetry and “steps” or rounds over to the beginning of another set of cabinetry which sits a bit farther out. Counter tops are made to contour over and around this section creating a beautiful symmetry to the cabinetry. Make your kitchen cabinetry step out and stand out by utilizing flutes in their design.
