When it comes to designing custom cabinetry, every detail matters—from wood species and finishes to hardware and layout. One of the most important style decisions you’ll make early in the process is choosing between inset and overlay cabinets. While this choice may seem subtle at first glance, it significantly impacts the overall look, feel, and cost of your space.
