Trend Watch: Concealed Kitchens

by Matt Eddy, President  |  
July 13th, 2010

Gwen kitchen fnlThe National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) recently announced the Top 10 Design Trends from the 2010 NKBA Design Competition.  Topping the list at #1 is “Concealed Kitchens.”   According to the NKBA,   “ Kitchen design has reached a new level of integration. The quiet incorporation of the kitchen into the home’s primary living and entertaining rooms provides homeowners with far more flexibility in their lifestyles. The incorporation of integrated and concealed appliances allows the kitchen to enhance rather than intrude into other spaces. “

Our design team has been well attuned to this trend, constantly looking for new ways to creatively and conveniently integrate appliances into our custom styles.  From integrated refrigeration and dishwasher cabinetry, to creative storage options, we will work with you to create a kitchen design that blends seamlessly into your home…and your lifestyle.  Click here to see some of our kitchen styles.

Continental Kitchen island a 267x3831 Island Views © 2009 Habersham HomeThe kitchen island .  So versatile it can serve as a functional food prep area, focal point of a kitchen,  a connection point between the kitchen and great room, the homework station for the kids…..the list goes on and on.  Like that list, the island choices and design styles we offer at Habersham are also plentiful.

Among our newest designs is the  Continental Kitchen Island  we unveiled during the Spring 2010 High Point Market.  Taking its inspiration from the architectural elements, design motifs and styles that once defined the grand mansions, country homes and chateaus of France, Italy, Spain and other parts of the Mediterranean, this design brings together a worldly blend of hand-finished textures, fine design lines, meticulous detailing and a neutral palette.

From a virtually unlimited selection of finish options to countless design styles, to custom size, space and configuration options, we can work with you to create an island that meets every storage, workspace and design preference you can imagine.  To see some of our other kitchen  island and cabinetry styles, click here.
