Kitchen Island BackComing in at number five in the National Kitchen and Bath Association’s (NKBA)  Top 10 Design Trends  from its 2010 NKBA Design Competition  is “Soft Geometry.”    According to NKBA, “Rounded organic shapes can be seen in the edge of a counter or island top, an arch over an entryway or cooking hearth, the curved lines of a light fixture, and well-placed, space-defining soffits.”

The NKBA Trend Report goes on to add,  “Softer geometry is showing up with fortitude in contemporary and traditional designs alike.  The introduction of rounded islands and countertops carves a smooth-flowing traffic pattern throughout the room, while an appropriately placed arch will bring an overall softening to the more angular fixed features that are typical in kitchens and baths.”

Whether you’re looking to soften the edges or round out your kitchen design, we can help.  Contact our design team today to see how we can work with you to create a custom kitchen design that bends to your every wish and design desire.

Butler’s Pantry Making A Comeback

Butlers PantryGone are the days when the butler’s pantry was merely for storing china and serving pieces. Today, this versatile and functional space has moved to the center of the party – as a key area for entertaining.  

Whatever your needs — storage, serving, or even a caterer’s prep station –custom designs like this English Country style, blend  beauty and functionality to maximum effect.

Inspired by the architectural elements and furnishings once found in English manor homes of the 18th and 19th centuries, this design  reflects the spirit of the English garden with its soft, light finishes, hand-rubbed, worn looks and elegant cabinetry designs. Practical storage above and below, ample countertop work surfaces, glass–front cabinets, plate racks, and other elements add to the fabulous functionality.  Click here to see some of our other Butler’s Pantry designs.

French Country Comfort

French Kitchen 3French Country style is really all about sophistication and elegance.  With our busy lives today, more people  want a more casual home environment, but they do not want to sacrifice that little touch of elegance. At Habersham, we work to create cabinetry and furniture designs that respond to these demands.

Take , for example, a  typical French Country kitchen, which is usually spacious, casual and most important, comfortable. Expanding upon this design style, one of the most popular trends in kitchen design today is furniture-style cabinetry. Responding to both design directives, our cabinetry, shown here,  brings soft, hand-painted tones and florals together with custom cabinetry designs –complete with corbels and other accents for a true sense of French Country elegance.

We would welcome the opportunity to help you bring a touch of casual elegance and comfort into your own kitchen environment.  To see some more of our designs, click here.

Jennifer Russell 267x4001 Furniture As Art © 2009 Habersham HomeAll of our Habersham Furniture Art ™ designs are hand-painted by skilled artists like Jennifer Russell, pictured here. A Masters of Fine Art graduate of the University of Illinois, Jennifer first learned about our company when she spotted one of the help wanted magazine ads we were posting in art publications featuring the headline, “Do it for the love. Do it for the Monet.” She traveled to our offices, got the job and began working on the designs and styles that have become our company  hallmarks over the years.

In addition to painting Habersham’s own signature art styles, Jennifer works with clients who request slight alterations to color combinations and design motifs or have their own their own patterns or designs in mind.

Custom options like these are just a few of the ways we can work with you to create furniture and cabinetry designs that reflect your own personality, sense of style and way you want to live today.  To learn more about some of our options, and to read a little more about Jennifer and the many other talented artists and craftsmen who are part of our design family, be sure to visit the new CUSTOMIZE section of our website.
