Six directions for a project brief
| Design idea | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Handle-less fronts | Opening method, grip arrangement and door layout |
| Warm wood appearance | Real veneer, solid wood or decorative surface; species or pattern reference |
| Matte surfaces | Named finish system, sample, care instructions and available supporting data |
| Mixed materials | Where each finish begins and ends; matching and interface questions |
| Tall integrated storage | Appliance references, internal storage needs and drawing revisions |
| Textured panels | Pattern direction, dimensions and edge details |
Compare a finish beyond the photograph
Matte describes appearance. It does not establish scratch resistance or fingerprint performance. Request information for the exact surface and compare labelled samples under the same conditions.
Read PET versus lacquer for manufacturer references and a finish comparison worksheet. Use MDF versus plywood to separate the board from the decorative finish.
Turn the idea into an enquiry
Identify the parts you want to reproduce: colour, texture, proportions or opening style. Mark dimensions as provisional until checked and keep appliance and hardware references with the drawing revision.
Prepare your measurements and complete the cabinet RFQ checklist.
