Four-Door Glass Cabinet Against a White Wall
A four-leaf glass cabinet set against a plain white wall, where everything the eye can see is the frame lines, the glass and the bottles behind them.
What the photographs show
A run of four glazed leaves against a white wall, frame and reveal the only lines in the room, floor pale and continuous. With nothing else to look at, the joinery has to be straight: the eye reads a 1 mm difference across the run.
What the build had to solve
On a plain wall the scribe is what saves the job. The frame is built to the narrowest of three width readings and a 40 mm scribe on each outer stile takes the difference, so the run stays square while the wall does not. The four leaves are cut as one set, so the reveals line up across the whole run.
What to copy, and what to avoid
Worth copying: cutting the leaves as a set. Worth avoiding: adjusting one door to fix a run — it moves the reveal next door and the error walks down the wall.

What clients ask about a room like this one
Can the frame be white?
Yes, and on a white wall it is worth considering: a pale frame disappears and the bottles do the talking. The surface is one of the 63, matched to your wall sample rather than picked from a screen.
How straight does the wall need to be?
A 40 mm scribe covers normal building tolerance. Send both diagonals with the widths and we will say before the deposit whether a filler panel is needed.
