Cabinetry

VJ style cabinetry is the perfect way to add elements of texture and interest without it being too distracting. We often see this type of cabinetry used in coastal-style homes, as it promotes that fresh and homely feel. And if you can’t decide if you want VJ or flat cabinetry then we say have both!
