Pelmet on open shelves?

[Gooose]

Hi guys

Trying to find some example of this but I’m getting no where on the internet, but I want to spruce up my gfs kitchen before she sells it, I have new doors and new cornice and pelmets but I don’t know what to do in my situation.

The carcasses run and finish with a open shelf corner shelf, the shelf is cut to 45 degrees twice to return it to the wall, now if I install the pelmets correctly and sit it flush with the door I will have a strange section in the open shelves where this protrudes.

If I install it flush with the carcass it would look odd and sit back from the new doors?

I have the same issue by the extractor with those common bottle holder shelves either side of it, so the same issue again.
Anyone done anything similar?

I have a bit of an idea what you mean, but any chance you could post a picture?

Here’s a few pics, the pelmet on currents sits flush but look crap tbh, I also would like to fit white but aware this might make the end shelf look proper weird!

in that sort of situation you would never run the pelmet flush with the door. it has to be flush with the cabinets. tbh those open corner units are quite dated so a fresh pelmet isn't really going to update it much

Exactly this, if it's an option I'd remove the diagonal open unit and buy another door/panel to clad the gable end of the unit next to it. Might seem odd to take storage out but it will make the kitchen look much newer.

Thanks allegro,

Yes it’s all very dated, but a few new doors and a spruce up will help, don’t thing I could mitre from flush to the door back to flush with the open shelving?

only real solution is to get rid of the corner unit, find a door big enough to cover existing door space plus pigeon holes and plant on a couple of floating end panels. given the location of the extractor this might mean moving the whole unit over 18mm

Just found this picture on google, I could run flush on the pelmet but flush to the door on the cornice?

yep that's how I would normally fit a cornice and pelmet. would be tempted to avoid white doors though. something along the colour in the last photo is much more modern and sits alot better with the oak edging tape and cream carcase that will be seen
