 ~ The initial step was to establish the proportion of the mirror in a perfect “golden section.”
Height and width proportion, recognized as a design device, is used by the Ancient Greek
Architects as well as modern- day Design Professionals.
The golden section creates beauty and balance – this proportional layout of the mirror and
flanking pilasters helped create the lower cabinet layout.
~ The lower cabinets were designed with one large center bay and 2 flanking side bays. This
this was not only a practical layout, but reminiscent of a 3-bay Triumphal Arch.
~ The lower cabinets’ paneled pilasters align vertically with the mirror pilasters. The top
drawers align horizontally with the decorative frieze panels above the main bay doors.
~ While designing a large – yet feminine – furniture-look vanity, combinations of small panel
moulds created lavish detail without becoming overbearing.
Pearson’s task was to design a proportional vanity, using White River’s in-stock product to oblige the client’s preference. Pearson’s design process was inspired by a White River mantel (MAN9018), which inherently had pilastered columns and fluted frieze creating a surround. Pearson appreciated White River’s EZ search engine when he went to import the CAD image of this mantel for the vanity design.
~ Use of rosette at top of pilaster – to create a break in the frieze (pictured above left)
~ Alignment of base pilaster – to upper pilasters – that flank large mirror (pictured above center)
~ Paneled pilaster has base moulding and delicate ornament (pictured above right)
From the above dimensions, you can see that the vanity wall is expansive. To satisfy proportionality, this space demanded a large, furniture-like vanity piece. The mantel (MAN9018) that inspired Pearson is in an inset to the left of the vanity

Peter Salerno: Using the helpful chart below, choose the largest crown for both the ceiling and cabinetry – your client will like what they see and how their properly proportioned room feels. Start with the ceiling crown.
- Using multiple pieces in a build-up serves as focal point for hoods and hearths
- Always do a mock-up corner piece – assembled and finished – to help your client envision how a larger crown enhances the room

- Crown detail serves the designer well – it can help correct an uneven soffit, and enhance doors, windows, and recessed ceilings
- Start with ceiling crown first – follow with other crown applications which will always be smaller than ceiling crown
- Push the envelope – “Don’t be afraid to use larger, bolder crowns!”
Designing solutions from award-wining Master Designer Peter Salerno. In this part II edition, Peter illustrates many applications for corbels in the kitchen.
1. Corbels can be functional elements for the support of:
- Wall Cabinets
- Counter Tops
- Cooktops
- Rangehoods
- Bars
- Sinks
- Islands
- Around Refrigerators
 1-A: Under Wall Cabinet
Crown: MLD5968, Panel Mould: MLD5956
Corbel under Cabinet: CRV5104
 1-B: Under Counter Top

Corbel: CRV5230
 1-C: Around a Cooktop
Corbel: CRV5121, Pilaster: PM569
Base Moulding: B469, Feet: FT6272
 1-D: Under Range Hood
LCD: MLD5868 & MLD5920
RangeHood: MLD5868, RH6084, MLD6024, Corbel: CRV5114
2. Corbels used for Aesthetic Value:
Corbels not only serve a practical purpose, they also add a tremendous visual value to kitchens, baths, and architectural woodworking.
3. Proportionality:
A designer needs to be sure that the scale of the corbels complements the size of the cabinet that they are being applied to. Sometimes designers are intimidated by large corbels and tend to undersize them. Corbels set the tone for the kitchen or bath. A larger corbel will bring attention to an island. In the kitchen, a corbel serves a real function – it holds up a counter top overhang; but at the same time, it makes a statement of style and importance.
The right size is based on the designers’ message. If the kitchen’s message is “harmony,” the designer can choose a more common size corbel, around 10″ – 15″. On the other hand, if the designer wants a 9′ island to say, “Look at me!” and make a grand statement, then an 18″ – 30″ corbel will accomplish that goal.
 1-E: Under A Bar
Panel Mould: MLD5928, Corbel: CRV5205, Base Moulding: B469
 1-F: Around A Sink
Corbel: CRV5238
Base Moulding: PM8535, B401, PM529
 1-G: On the Corner of an Island
Corbel: CRV5253, Baseboard: B463
 1-H: On sides of Refrigerator
Crown: MLD5848, Frieze: MLD5926
Corbel: CRV5120, Pilaster: CA327
4. Theme – It’s All in the Details:
The corbel size will set the tone of the kitchen. But what sets the theme of the kitchen is the corbel’s details. A corbel that has Acanthus Leaves gives a very different feel than one that has a fluted face. When a designer identifies the client’s preferences – Cherry or Maple, stained or painted, contemporary or traditional – these choices will drive the design process into a direction where the room’s theme will be defined. When this occurs, the designer can start fitting the room with proper detail, scale and definition.
5. Adding Depth:
Corbels also have different depths. Shallower corbels have an important aesthetic value. A corbel that is 1-3/4″ to 3-1/2″ deep can placed on the face of a cabinet or on the front of a pilaster where it makes a design statement that is not overpowering or an obstacle.
Use of Different Sized Corbels on an Island
Island Size Corbel Size
3′ to 5′ wide 10″ to 12″ High
5′ to 8′ wide 10″ to 18″ High
8′ to 12′ wide 18″ to 26″ High
*42″ high island 26″ to 37″ High
Master Designer Peter Salerno: Looking at the illustrated examples below, notice how easily simple cabinetry can transform into beautiful pieces of furniture. Panel Mouldings are easy to design with and are extremely versatile.
Panel Mouldings can be applied to:
- At the base of upper wall cabinets to hide under-cabinet lights
- Wall cabinets going to counter tops
- Upper rail of a wall cabinet for crown enhancement
- Below a counter top, for more detailing and visual weight
- Below the base doors, for a furniture feel

Drop: CRV5644
Panel Moulding at bottom: MLD5979
An ideal application for Panel Moulding is as a wall cabinet light valance. The height of this moulding should range between 1-1/4″ to 1-3/4″. This height allows the designer to hide an under cabinet light (which is normally between 3/4″ to 1-1/2″ height) and at the same time create a beautiful design statement (see #2-D below)
