Wood-Mode Reflects Design Versatility Through Metal Elements

The design industry has shown a continued focus on the aesthetic achieved by mixing materials. Whether it’s wood and metal or combining textures and patterns, designers are seeking the visual interest of pairing multiple and sometimes unexpected elements. This look can even extend to cabinetry. Wood-Mode Fine Custom Cabinetry is introducing several new metal finish elements that allow designers to add a glint of sophistication or a bold touch of glamor to their cabinetry design.  

METAL INLAY

Cabinetry design is not limited to just the door style, finish, color and configuration. Adding a metal inlay can emphasize the detail of the cabinetry door and coordinate with broader metal elements in the room such as hardware, lighting and fixtures. Available in brushed stainless, mirrored stainless and brushed brass, the metal inlay is expertly applied to the recessed door panel. This option is used exclusively with Sturbridge, Chatham, Sonoma and Darien Heights door styles. The inlay is configured with a solid metal square, a rounded metal tube or a chic x-mullion for enhanced appeal. This feature can be combined with any paint color, wood stain, or wood species as recommended by a Wood-Mode designer. Custom applications are also accommodated including inlays on columns, range hoods, and wainscoting.

METAL MESH INSERTS

Cabinetry door design can also be customized through a broad variety of metal mesh inserts. In this option, the recessed door panel is replaced with high-quality, rigid metal mesh. While metal mesh has been available as a custom element, Wood-Mode is expanding its mesh offering to include different finishes, weaves and levels of openness in the weave. A selection of six wire mesh inserts is now available including burnished brass, chrome, satin brass, matte black and pewter. This feature can be applied to any recessed door style in the Wood-Mode offering and combined with any paint color, wood stain, or wood species as recommended by a Wood-Mode designer.

METAL ACCENT SHELVING

Designers can now carry the metallic aesthetic to other areas of the room and deliver storage function through metal accent shelving. Metal caps are available on 1” thick adjustable shelves in brushed stainless steel, mirrored stainless steel and brushed brass. A second shelving option applies metal to floating shelves. In this configuration, the front and sides of the shelf receive a 2-1/4” wide and 1/8” deep rout with an applied metal inlay in brushed stainless steel, mirrored stainless steel or brushed brass.
