This is an absolutely beautiful set of cupboards. The design demonstrates how I would decorate a plain white set of kitchen cabinets. It has a very rich appearance and is tactfully designed.
The light but yet bright coloration of red is just enough of an accent color in this kitchen to add flare and not distract from the beauty of the painted real wood doors.
Balance is one thing that I quickly noticed about this layout. It is so appealing that one almost feels an open invitation to come into the kitchen and visit for a while. This is a great design for hosting parties. All would feel welcome as they entered into this area of the home. Perhaps the layout would even compel the guests to help clean the dishes after dinner.
The solid colors surrounding the cupboards on the walls, in the granite countertop and on the floor make this kitchen design elegant and clean looking. Nothing is overly distracting at first glance.
There’s very little to be called kitchen cabinet clutter in this design. Letting junk pile up in the kitchen area is no way to decorate. Keeping things clean and simple really ads a depth of warmth to this kitchen’s look. By using moderate displays on the countertop and very few open display cabinet areas in the design, the plain white cabinets maintain their beauty.
The combination of knobs/handles on the drawers and doors have a very simplistic touch in the arrangement of things. This too adds to the overall balance of the way the kitchen was decorated. If they had been any larger or more colorful the white cabinets would not be as appealing as they are in the image.
The area on-top of the wall cabinets is nicely decorated with one plant arrangement. I guess the thing I like the uttermost about this kitchen is that everything has a high-end appearance, but nothing is so over done that it distracts from the beauty of the plain white cupboards.
By far, this is one of the most beautiful white kitchens I’ve seen having raised panel doors. I personally think that people get too carried away decorating around a gorgeous set of cupboards. To much stuff can sure make an expensive kitchen look over decorated and tacky. So, when you plan to decorate around your plain white set of cabinets, consider keeping things as simple as possible, but yet glamorously elegant as well.

There are several different styles of mechanisms that support the shelves for these turntable that get installed in base or upper cabinets and kitchen pantry cabinet designs. read How to Adjust Lazy Susan Cabinet
The most important thing about learning how to install custom fabricated cabinet door panels on your dishwasher is double checking the dimensions from start to finish. If they were not ordered correctly in the first place, then you are not going to be able to complete the installation process successfully. So, with this in mind, be sure to contact the appliance manufacture directly to make sure that you have the proper panel sizes information for your appliance model.
Custom doors cannot be installed on a dishwasher if there is not a trim kit. You must inform your appliance sales person that you plan on having special doors put on the front of the dishwasher to match your cabinet doors. By informing him at the time when you are purchasing the appliance, the correct trim kit can be ordered.
Once the kitchen cabinets have been installed and the appliances are delivered and hooked up to the electrical & plumbing connections, the custom cabinet door panels can be installed.
Installing Dishwasher Door Panels
You should only need a Phillips screwdriver for installing the panels. You will have to install one for the large door and also a small panel that fits on the bottom cover.
Large Door Installation
On the side of the dishwasher there is a piece of trim metal that is held on with a few Phillips head screws. Remove the screws and the side trim pieces should come right off.
Slid the new custom cabinet door panel into the trim kit and replace the trim piece.
Lower Panel Installation
The smaller panel is generally held on with a couple of Phillips screws, remove them. Take the side trim off and slide the new dishwasher panel into the frame. Replace the side frame and re-attach the lower section onto the main dishwasher.
Tips:
Make sure that the new custom dishwasher panels fit nice and snug. If they are too loose put padding behind them.
If the new door panel is too tight, you must not force it into position. Whatever alterations need to be made must be executed. These doors should slide into place without any resistance. If you force them, they will only get stuck and then you will really have a serious problem on your hands.
