Q: What’s the hottest mix of materials for the kitchen right now?
On The Go The modular +Artesio kitchen can be reassembled in a new home if you move.
According to Poggenpohl… It’s all about the new +Artesio kitchen. Lacquered glass door fronts add sleekness; integrated lighting contributes to the modern, clean lines of the space; and a sand pine backsplash, terrarium space, and man-made veneers add warmth and texture to the room. Leather door fronts are becoming a new trend and ever-stylish stainless steel continues to be used for accents.
High Gloss The veneer doors in this Scavolini kitchen are at once classic and modern.
The folks at Scavolini think… The hottest mix is for the doors. Glossy lacquered oak veneer doors for base and tall units, and matte-frosted, ribbed-glass doors for upper units, look great combined with textured quartz tops or stainless steel with a satin finish. For example, try a thick textured veneer door in a deep grey with a glossy glass door in a lighter grey shade, combined with a sleek Corian countertop.
Neutral Warmth White cabinetry and countertops contrast with the walnut island’s cocoa finish in NuKitchens’ South Norwalk showroom.
NuKitchens mixes it up with… Hand-painted, brush-stroke cabinetry in custom white or grey tones with nickel and leather hardware. Walnut, especially in dark finishes, highlights white marble or soapstone countertops. Simplicity in design is also a major element, helping to highlight every chic material, from cabinets to countertops.
