Moldings and trim can serve as decoration for your cabinetry. They also can hide joints or finish the transition between the cabinets and the ceiling and floor.
More traditional and formal styles of cabinetry typically call for more elaborate detailing.
Transitional or eclectic looks might use smaller crown moldings, smooth pilasters, or different types of foot moldings such as the pedestal or bun.
Pilasters, turnings, fluted fillers in addition to moldings are a great way to spice up a small or simple kitchen.

You have some very slick ideas for kitchens. That has been one of the recurring themes in my own life--looking for a way to make our bathrooms and our kitchen look really glorious, even though those rooms are much too small. One of the glories of the Internet, though, is that there is absolutely no dearth of ideas. I have been looking for ones that seem to me to make sense and posting my results. Right now I have no idea of what I will ultimately do, but I keep hoping I will come up with something really slick.
