BILOTTA KITCHEN & HOME

Bilotta Kitchen & Home, renowned for exquisite craftsmanship and service, celebrated its 40th year in business throughout 2025. Their brand-new flagship showroom opened in Mamaroneck NY, followed by full renovations of their New York City, Mount Kisco, and Greenwich showrooms, all featuring a creative presentation of the latest industry trends.

Bilotta Kitchen & Home’s new showrooms brilliantly feature their own version of the latest trends, showcasing their proprietary Bilotta Cabinetry, handcrafted in the United States. Combined with their other custom lines, Bilotta will satisfy every design style from traditional to contemporary, at a variety of price points. The design team’s creativity is evident in their use of expressive wood grains, combined with a bold use of colors and finishes. See flat and rift cut oaks, natural and stained walnuts next to bold hues of deep greens, midnight blues, and black featured in both matte and high gloss enamels on both frameless and even inset cabinetry, practically unheard of in the industry. They also featured new finishes on metal doors, combined with fluted panels of stone and wood on cabinetry and hoods, as well as increasingly popular wood-like laminates. You’ll also see installations of beautiful tile and stone slab backsplashes with dramatic veining in quartzite or marble, carried to full height from counter to ceiling to create a clean, luxurious look. To balance beauty with functionality, the showrooms feature open shelving for display items, alongside smart hidden-storage solutions such as Le Mans pull-outs, spice columns and even drawers for coffee pods—everything hidden away for a clean look yet easy to access. Cozy eat-in banquettes with concealed storage are seen in the Mamaroneck and New York City showrooms, reflecting the growing demand for comfortable, space-efficient dining areas.

CLARKE – OFFICIAL SUB-ZERO, WOLF AND COVE SHOWROOM

Planning a new kitchen? Begin with appliance research. For many, a kitchen project begins with considering a layout and cabinet style, yet savvy designers say extraordinary kitchens start with appliance selection. When you think about it, this makes sense. Your kitchen layout may be very different if you select a 48” dual fuel range than if you envision an induction cooktop and wall ovens.

When it comes to researching today’s finest appliances, there is one place unlike any other: Clarke, New England’s Official Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove Showroom and Test Kitchen. Clarke creates an unparalleled experience in three award-winning showrooms offering a singular opportunity to plan your extraordinary kitchen. One hour at a Clarke Showroom reveals all that Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove have to offer in a relaxed environment. You’ll see these appliances in full-scale designer kitchens to help you envision how they might look in your home. Clarke consultants are not designers; they are the people designers call on for appliance recommendations. Clarke doesn’t sell anything, so all you will take away is knowledge and contact information for an authorized retail dealer. Clarke’s culinary staff will help you taste what’s possible and even set up a Wolf test drive. Ask about the convection steam oven. It’s amazing.

NEWPORT BRASS

From solid-brass construction to hand-finished detail, Newport Brass fixtures bring enduring craftsmanship and architectural beauty to the kitchen and bath. They are modern heirlooms shaped to live beautifully for generations.

A well-designed kitchen balances beauty, utility, and enduring quality. You feel it in the weight of the metal, the way light settles across a surface, the subtle confidence of a handle that moves with precision. These are the details that reveal how a space is made, and how it will live over time.

Provenance and craftsmanship carry particular resonance in the kitchen, where materials must be both expressive and resilient. Solid brass, hand-finished surfaces, and time-honored processes introduce a depth and warmth that enrich the surrounding palette of stone, wood, and hand-crafted cabinetry.

Newport Brass has been refining that balance of craftsmanship and elegance for decades in its California facility, where each piece is forged, machined, and finished by hand. Architectural lines, generous proportions, and a spectrum of rich decorative finishes allow the fixture to either recede with quiet intention or become a defining focal point.

These are pieces with the makings of heirlooms. Objects that reveal their beauty slowly, through ritual and repeated use. In spaces designed for gathering, cooking, and conversation, the right fixture becomes more than a finishing touch; it becomes part of the home’s story, aging gracefully alongside the lives lived around it.
