    Choose concealed hinges if you want the hinges hidden from view.

    Concealed hinges, also known as a European hinge or a cup hinge, get their name from the fact that they’re hidden from view when the cabinets are closed. If you don’t want to see your hinges, opt for the concealed variety.

    You can purchase concealed hinges at home improvement stores, hardware stores, and online.

    Traditional hinges are mounted to the surface of the cabinet door and are visible, or partially visible when the door is closed. They’re easier to install than concealed hinges and they can add a decorative effect to your cabinet door.

    There are a variety of traditional hinges including, butt hinges, flush hinges, and antique hinges, but they all fit onto your cabinets in a similar fashion.

    Look for traditional hinges at home improvement stores, hardware stores, and online. You could also look for ornate or decorative hinges at antique stores.

    Wrap the hinges around the cabinet so they’re flush.
