Edge Trimming Tools

Common cabinet molding includes crown molding for tops, base molding for bottoms, light rail molding under cabinets, scribe molding for irregular walls, and filler strips for gaps. Each serves both functional and aesthetic purposes.

Cabinet molding creates a finished, custom appearance, hides gaps between cabinets and walls/ceilings, adds architectural interest, and helps kitchens feel more expensive and professionally designed. It transforms basic cabinets into built-in looking installations.

Cabinet molding typically matches the cabinet finish for seamless integration, though it can match room trim for design continuity. Consider your overall aesthetic goals and whether you want cabinets to blend or contrast with architectural elements.

Basic molding installation requires measuring, cutting, and securing skills along with appropriate tools. Crown molding can be challenging due to angles and ceiling irregularities. Many homeowners prefer professional installation for best results.

Essential tools include miter saw, drill, brad nailer or hammer, measuring tape, level, coping saw for inside corners, and finishing supplies. Quality tools and sharp blades ensure clean cuts and professional-looking joints.

Yes, molding can be added to most existing cabinets to update their appearance. Ensure new molding complements existing cabinet style and finish. This is a cost-effective way to refresh kitchen aesthetics without full replacement.

Popular profiles include simple crown molding for traditional looks, contemporary square profiles for modern kitchens, and layered combinations for formal designs. Choose profiles that complement your cabinet door style and overall kitchen aesthetic.

Cabinet molding costs vary by material and complexity, typically ranging from $5-25 per linear foot including materials and labor. Simple painted pine costs less than matching hardwood species, while complex profiles and installation increase costs.
