One such excellent product is the corbel. It is typically a beautifully carved wood or stoned piece. They look pretty, strengthen the grip, and structurally support another object. These decorative corbels are used in many houses. Let’s look into some of them:
- Kitchen cabinets: If you want to customize your builder-grade cabinets, add corbels under each cabinet. It is mainly used with the cabinets that tie into the backsplash. When attached to upper cabinets, it is primarily used for decoration as the cabinets are bolted into walls. You can also match the color and style with the kitchen knobs to indulge the corbels in your theme.
- Kitchen counters: Have you ever felt like your kitchen counter is too simple? Since it is a counter to keep or use food, it is impossible to put any decorative pieces there. Corbels work best in such places. They will make your kitchen look elegant and add interest to the space.
- Hidden storage: This is a unique and interesting idea. If you have a dividing wall that is of no use as such, you can make it functional with a pullout to reveal extra storage. It looks cool in the kitchen and utilizes the extra space.
- Shelf brackets: If you have shelves attached to the wall, adding corbels to them can make them look aesthetic. It will completely change the look of the shelves and the wall. Moreover, they are available in different designs and colors, so you can match them with the room theme.

- Room divider: Simply by adding corbels at the top ends, your ordinary entryway will transform into an extraordinary one. But, make sure to consider the width of the door and size of the room before selecting the corbels. And, if the room is too small, don’t go with this idea.
- Fireplace: Enhance the look of your fireplace by adding corbels to a mantel or floating shelf. You could even attach corbels at the sides of a plain-front fireplace. If your room theme is vintage or you want the fireplace to look like that, choose rusty, old-fashioned corbels.
- Bookends: Adding corbels at the end of your books gives a charming look. For this, you can also use some old and used corbels. This could be done with books underneath a table or bookshelves.
- Outdoor windows: People often neglect the outside of their house while decorating it. But, it is the first impression of your home. So, by adding corbels to the window roof, you will enhance the whole look of your home from the outside.
