Using Corbels to Design Your Kitchen

July 22, 2015

Corbels have a practical purpose, but in modern times, most corbels are installed to provide kitchens and other rooms with some flair. However, since corbel designs come in all kinds of shapes and patterns, corbels can fit into more spaces for more reasons than most people expect.

For obvious reasons, the bigger the corbel, the more it stands out in the eye of the beholder. For much the same reasons, the same can be said of elaborate corbels. As a result, there is little that can match the corbel when it comes to establishing centerpieces in the kitchen, with common examples including but not limited to supporting cabinets, flanking range hoods, and even clinging to the sides of kitchen islands. In contrast, simpler corbels can serve to embellish less noticeable features without overwhelming their surroundings in the process. Whether the corbels come in classic, modern classic, or outright modern, their presence can make even the most practical elements seem suave and sophisticated. Something that is sure to please homeowners with an appreciation for elegance. For custom corbels purpose-made for the interior of your home, you should contact Art For Everyday at your earliest convenience to speak about our architectural woodcarvings.
