Making its debut during the recent Spring 2012 High Point Market, the new Atelier Display Cabinet  display now joins our popular  American Treasures ® Collection of copyrighted furniture designs.  This particular design brings classic lines together with  a mirror back panel, glass door and adjustable shelves to create a casually elegant, versatile accent that can blend seamlessly into any room and décor style.

We’re continuing to expand and enhance our website offerings.  Among the newest additions, you can now see all the designs in our popular Biltmore ® Chateau Reserve Collection.

The Chateau Reserve Collection draws its inspiration from the  entertainment and hospitality that defined the landmark Asheville, North Carolina estate at the turn of the century.  The collection’s grand scale designs and accent furnishings perfectly reflect the art, architecture, history and ambiance of the estate.

George Washington Vanderbilt, world-traveler, art aficionado and grandson of famed railroad industrialist Cornelius Vanderbilt, completed Biltmore House in 1895.  The 250-room French Renaissance-style chateau, tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, was first and foremost a home.  It was also an oasis for Vanderbilt’s family and friends to retreat from city life to a timeless world of elegance and refinement.  Comforting, yet uncommon.

Our vision for this collection has been  to create furniture in keeping with the Vanderbilt vision — designs that enable the discerning individual to escape from everyday life. The quality, artistic style and versatility of our Biltmore line invite you to truly express your  own sense of style.  So click here to see the full line.

At Habersham , we’re always keeping track of industry trends.  As a member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), we were interested to read their recent press release highlighting the findings of their 2012 Design Trends Survey  and how they coincide with what we’re working on here at the factory.

More than 350 National Kitchen & Bath Association member designers took part in the survey  to cite the materials, product types, and styles that they’ve incorporated into their kitchen and bath designs over the final three months of 2011. While broad trends won’t be evident in every local market, they called out a number of overall trends across the US and Canada and we’ll be sharing those in upcoming blogs.  Among the highlights from the press release that we’re seeing here at Habersham too:

Darker Finishes

Natural kitchen cabinetry continues a steady move toward darker finishes. While light natural finishes have been recently specified by 30% of kitchen designers, medium natural finishes stand at 55%, with dark natural finishes at 58%. Two years ago, dark natural finishes were specified by only 43% of designers. Among painted cabinetry, white continues to be the most popular option, as white cabinets have been recently specified by 59% of NKBA member kitchen designers, while other colors were specified by only 38% of designers. Another trend to note is that distressed finishes are making a comeback. After being recently specified by 15% of designers going into 2010, that figure dropped to just 5% last year, but has now risen to 22%.

We’ll be sharing some of the other trend findings in upcoming blogs so check back soon!
