The Language of Luxury
01.13.2011
Would you know a pilaster if you saw one? Can you tell the difference between a burl and a corbel? Every industry and profession has its own language, and the world of design is no exception. Here are a few of the terms you may encounter as you begin a kitchen remodel journey.
Bookmatching. Matching two or more wood surfaces from the same piece of wood (often veneer) so the adjoining surfaces mirror each other, creating the appearance of an open book. The final effect may be subtle or highly dramatic.
Burl. Swirls or twists in wood grain that appear near a knot or are caused by natural damage that took place during the tree’s growth. Burl wood creates an unusual and often beautiful grain for cabinetry because of the interesting patterns formed.
Corbel. Classical decorative cantilever (bracket) that extends out and up from a wall.
Crown molding. A strip of decorative wood, resin, or molded foam dividing a wall and the ceiling above.
Finial. A decorative ornament topping a lamp or piece of furniture, or at the end of a curtain rod.
Full-inset. Cabinet design with doors fitting inside the face frame when closed.
Full overlay. Cabinet design with the cabinet door or drawer front covering the face frame so only the door is seen.
Marqueteries. Intricately designed decoration created by inlaying material (wood) piece by piece into a wood surface.
Mullion. Glass window dividers inside cabinet doors. Mullion doors or divided light doors are doors with the solid center panel removed and replaced with mullions that may use clear, smoked, bronzed, opaque or leaded glass.
Onlay. A carved or etched decorative ornament installed on the cabinet face. May be called an appliqué.
Open grained wood. A wood such as oak that has a coarse grained texture.
Patina. A sheen created on wood by polishing, age and wear.
Pilasters. Rectangular decorative “columns” that add detail to fireplace mantelpieces, shelving or cabinetry.
Valance. A decorative hardwood panel installed across an open area, used above desks or sinks, for example.
