1. Cabinet Carcasses

• Material: Solid wood (e.g., Maple, Oak, or Birch) or plywood with veneer faces for the internal structure to ensure strength and durability.
• Finish: Neutral wood finishes such as satin, semi-gloss, or matte lacquer to provide an elegant, high-end appearance while protecting the wood from wear.
• Construction: Solid joint construction methods such as dovetail joints for drawers and mortise-and-tenon for door frames, providing strength and aesthetic quality.
• Edge Banding: Solid wood or PVC edge banding for clean, durable edges.

2. Cabinet Doors: Antique Frame-line Design

• Material:
  • Solid Wood Frame: The door frame is made from high-quality solid wood (e.g., Oak, Walnut, or Maple) for durability and a premium feel.
  • Veneer Panel: The central panel is veneered with Antique Wood Veneer, giving the cabinet a rustic, vintage look while maintaining a modern touch.
• Design:
  • Frame-line: The door features a traditional frame with clean lines, providing a modern twist on classic cabinetry. The frame should be slightly recessed to create a sharp contrast with the veneer.
• Finish: The wood veneer is finished with a matte or satin clear coat to highlight its natural texture and grain, offering both elegance and ease of maintenance.
• Color & Texture: Antique wood finishes like Ash, Walnut, or Reclaimed Oak will add a warm, aged appearance while still feeling refined.

3. Drawers and Shelving

• Material: High-quality plywood or solid wood (same as the carcass material) with wood veneer for consistency in finish.
• Drawer Construction: Soft-close, full-extension, dovetail joints for drawers to ensure durability and smooth operation.
• Adjustable Shelves: Shelves are constructed from plywood or MDF with wood veneer to allow flexibility and maximum storage options.
• Interior Finish: Smooth interior finish with a natural wood grain or a light stain to maintain quality and aesthetic uniformity.

4. Countertops

• Material:
  • Quartz or Granite countertops are ideal for high-end projects due to their durability, aesthetic appeal, and ease of maintenance.
  • Wooden Countertop: For a rustic, traditional look, a solid wood countertop such as Butcher Block or Reclaimed Wood can complement the antique finish.
• Thickness: Typically 20-30mm for stone countertops and 40mm for solid wood to create a sturdy, premium look.

5. Hardware

• Hinges: Soft-close concealed hinges with high-quality finish to ensure longevity and a smooth, quiet closing.
• Drawer Runners: Soft-close or full-extension ball-bearing drawer slides for smooth operation.
• Handles/Knobs: Vintage-style handles in brass, matte black, or antique silver to match the cabinet’s rustic aesthetic.
• Finish: Hardware should have an antique or distressed finish to complement the overall look of the cabinets.

6. Modular and Custom Design

• Modular Flexibility: The cabinets should be designed to work within different layouts (L-shaped, U-shaped, galley, etc.), with flexible configurations and pre-cut spaces for built-in appliances (ovens, dishwashers, fridges).
• Customization: Tailored to specific measurements based on the client’s kitchen space, with options for additional features like pull-out trash bins, built-in organizers, and spice racks.
