AS YOU HOME IN YOUR FAVORITE CABINET STYLES,consider how they will fit into the room at top and bottom. Trimming cabinet tops and bottoms contributes more to style and function than it might seem. Cabinets can stop short of the ceiling or go all the way up to be trimmed by crown molding or finished off with a reveal, which is a narrow slot between two surfaces. Cabinet bottoms may incorporate a toespace or, less commonly, may sit on a wide base (cabinetmakers call it a plinth).
