Open cupboard trim

[gregbbb]

Hi all

I'm building a similar shoe cabinet to the one in the image below for an open cupboard space in my downstairs cloakroom. I can work out how most of it is constructed but it's the trim that I'm not sure about.

Using the right hand side as an example, is there a piece of stripwood tacked to the side of the main side panel with a piece of moulding attached to that? Or is the main side panel set back slightly and a piece of stripwood attached across the front? I've tried to draw out the two possible options in the diagram below.

I'm a competent DIY'er but not a carpenter so apologies if the terms are wrong

Any tips or ideas is much appreciated.

Cheers!

The former, and I would set it back slightly, as in the pic, so the join became a feature on both sides. A strip moulding would cover the "end grain" of the panels if necessary

The second option would cover the exposed ends of panels but not the edge of the face frame on the left hand side, so maybe not as neat.

Looks like purpose made architrave .?

Yeah, possibly, but I've no idea what supplier so am looking to make something similar myself.

Yes and maybe a strip over the exposed end of the side panel if appearance required it
