I'm making some new vanities for our bathroom. They're pretty simple consisting of a frameless carcass. The doors/drawers are rail and stile with a flat inset panel. I'd like to do something with either the drawer/door edge or the drawer/door opening. My initial inclination was some cockbeading but I'm open to other suggestions.
Any thoughts are much appreciated.

A cockbead seems like kind of a fancy detail for a frameless cabinet What kind of wood are you using? How do you plan to finish (stain) it? How about applying a narrow piece of a contrasting wood to the edges of the door? Or maybe inlay a narrow band of contrasting or dyed wood a half inch or so in from the perimeter of the door? Maybe add a small chamfer on the edges to create a shadow line?

Sorry - I omitted an important detail. These are going to be painted so inlays, dyes etc. would not apply.
