Cupboard Skirting- The Old Timey Kitchen Design Hack
This design hack isn’t for everyone. For some, it’s twee, too old-fashioned and sickly sweet. For others, it’s the perfect cottagecore solution to budget design and dealing with awkward spaces.
Cupboard skirting- using curtains in lieu of lower kitchen cabinet doors- was probably an idea born out of necessity, for those whose budget couldn’t stretch to joinery or for those looking for a solution to a space that’s too small/ big/ awkwardly-shaped for standard cabinet doors. But when applied right, this design trick can offer a cosy, cottage-style look that incorporates texture, colour and pattern depending on the fabric choice.
Here are some examples of cupboard skirting done well.
