Sujithra, Good that you asked. When the cabinets are made in factories they are made a tad smaller than your actual requirement or as per the standard size made by the vendor. Smaller size helps them to make sure it fits in your space. Once a smaller product is fitted in a bigger space - the remaining gap is filled with a 'filler'. Its usually made in the same finish as the shutters so that they are less noticeable. No, it is not essential for the cabinet door to function properly but more for aesthetics. Width of the filler, as explained above, depends on the site details but usually vary from 50 - 150 mm. Thanks, Amit Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.

I wanted to use a shimmery pearl backsplash but it was problematic to install. Looking for something reflective. My island is deep blue (sea serpent by Sherwin-Williams), cabinets white with clear glass in second row uppers, fixtures, pulls and knobs all champagne bronze. Hoped to find something more exciting than white subway but I need help and fast so we can install the range hood and the stove!

Hello! I am trying to decide on a color of white for my kitchen cabinets that will not clash with the granite that is already there. I am painting the walls SW agreeable gray and if possible, would like to use the same color white for the cabinets and the trim in the house. This is a North facing room. Would SW Pure White clash with the brown in the granite? Thank you for any advice!

NS please look at real marble or granites cabinets for long life. Please feel free to call if the requirement is in Bangalore, Mumbai, Hyderbad.
