How to Fit Kitchen Plinth, Cornice and Pelmet Neatly

Difficulty 4/10
Time 1-3 hours
Tools Mitre saw / tape / adhesive / clips

The finishing pieces make the kitchen look complete

Plinths, cornice and pelmets hide gaps and make cabinets look built in. The key is careful measuring, clean cuts and dry fitting before fixing.

Steps

  • Let floors and cabinets dictate plinth height rather than assuming every section is identical.
  • Use a mitre box or mitre saw for neat corners.
  • Dry fit long runs before final fixing.
  • Leave access where appliances or service valves may need maintenance.
