Framed or plain doors
A fine profile may create enough shadow. In a narrow room we compare its depth with a plain front before settling on a drawing.
A framed door can give a bookcase depth; an oversized cornice can crowd the same room. We size those details to the wall and the furniture you intend to keep.
Before drawing mouldings, we look at the wall, existing furniture and architectural lines. The interior still has to do its job.

We do not take it to the ceiling automatically. Height, services, fixing and access for cleaning all affect the detail.
Their size and position shape the design and the way drawers open. We check that the handle does not strike an adjacent piece.
A painted sample is compared beside the floor, interior doors and daylight; a white that differs slightly may stand out strongly.
Classical fronts can conceal contemporary runners and storage layouts. The look should not sacrifice usable capacity.
Skirtings, uneven corners and walls out of plumb are measured for scribed infills; a moulding alone will not solve the junction.
Historical references work best when adapted to the actual dimensions and use of the piece.
On a full-wall bookcase, equal widths are not always the most balanced. A balcony door, fireplace or entrance may call for different modules. We draw their rhythm before choosing profiles.
An Eixample flat may retain tall doors, patterned tile or original mouldings. Photographs of these elements guide the proposed finish, so the new cabinet sits comfortably beside them without pretending to be period furniture.
Framed fronts and shaped trims require more work than flat doors. A quotation should show where these details are used and how the less visible interiors are built.
A groove catches more dust than a flat face. For a kitchen or a room used by children, we favour accessible profiles and a finish whose care is clear.
Every cabinet need not look identical. A restrained wardrobe can accompany a framed bookcase when tone and scale are related. We show that combination in the design before manufacture.
For a run of doors, one sample front can show frame width, profile depth and finish under the actual room lighting. Compare it with existing doors and the intended handle. Then repeat the agreed gaps and joints on the drawings. This makes it easier to catch a moulding that looks oversized or a colour that clashes with retained joinery before the full set is made.

The design usually works around retained elements. We need to see the floor and junctions to specify support and finish.
No. It is laid out for what you store and can use modern runners and fittings.
Send a room photograph and a close view of any retained doors, flooring or mouldings. Add rough dimensions and the furniture required. We can then identify the proportions worth checking on site before detailing the fronts.
