You get a really clean seamless look on the outside, but at more of a budget price. It’s almost like overlay is the dupe of inset. Overlay cabinets actually go in front of the entire cabinet box and frame, versus set within. They are actually less expensive than inset, but in my opinion still look really clean. Overlay is another commonly seen cabinet type–especially in recent years. We’ve had every type of cabinet overlay and price point.
Of course, every kitchen will have a different price tag depending on size and type of cabinet overlay. We paid a 10% deposit before the first design consultation (this deposit went toward the final cost of the cabinetry). That price includes the design and working with the Stoffer design team, which has been such an honor. (Full Disclosure: Stoffer did give us a discount for promotion). We expected this price to go up as we continued to add what was important to us: a drink station, a walk-in pantry with glass-topped doors, and an overflow section with extra dishes and flatware and a spot for cookbooks. The ultimate retail price of our cabinets was just under $80,000. The initial bid on the kitchen in the Spring, before we even began the design process, was $65K. Our kitchen here will have inset cabinets. They are typically the more expensive fit because of the exactness. This look is classic and sought after because of the clean, precise lines. Inset cabinets sit flush with the frame when the door is closed, rather than resting on top of the frame. Let’s get into the three types that you’ve probably seen, but maybe didn’t even realize you were seeing them or that they were different. This can also determine which type of door hinge is used! The door or face – the part that opens and closes (you know how it goes)Ĭabinet door overlay refers to the way the cabinet door connects to the frame. The frame – the front part that attaches to the box on the front, although there is a such thing as frameless cabinets The box – a bit self-explanatory, but this refers to the box of the cabinet. To keep things simple, let’s go over some basic cabinet anatomy. Hopefully some of you find this helpful if you plan on installing cabinets in the future! The more you know, the easier it is to know what you want, so then you can communicate it! There’s a lot to know about cabinets, but today I thought we would talk about the 3 different cabinet door overlays. So, while I’ve got cabinets on the mind, I thought it would be a good time to break down some cabinet anatomy here on the blog. Our countertops got templated yesterday and once they are installed, the rest of the cabinets will be placed. It’s been an exciting week in the kitchen with the installation of our lower cabinet frames.
