Of Royals and Manors: Our English Country Style Offers Genteel Comfort For Today’s Kitchen

by Robert Williams, Vice President of Design  |  
August 8th, 2011

As royal weddings have been in the news in recent months, I thought I’d blog about our English Country style.  Rustic, yet elegant, our English Country designs take their inspiration from architectural elements and furnishings once found in English manor homes of the 18th and 19th centuries

When creating these cabinetry designs, we often look at an array of different design lines and styles ranging from Queen Anne to Victorian to Sheraton.  Capturing the spirit of the English garden, the finishes we often choose are soft and light, often incorporating hand-painted florals and hand-rubbed, worn looks.

From range hood designs  to functional countertop curios to clever storage features and more, we’re always looking for ways to expand our custom cabinetry capabilities to help clients create the kitchen of their dreams.  Contact us tEnglish Country Custom Kitchen Cabinetryoday to learn more about our custom options and design styles.

Detailed Ceilings, Tactile Textures Among Top NKBA Kitchen Design Trends

Habersham Custom Kitchen Cabinetry Design  Dream Home InteriorsEach year, the National Kitchen & Bath Association reveals the latest standout design trends culled from the 2011 NKBA Design Competition. Representing what’s currently fresh and forward-thinking in kitchen and bath design, distinct visual elements and color, unique design details, personalized products and materials, and an architecturally artistic approach to proportion are among the strong themes seen in the nearly 500 entries received in the competition.

Among the specific trends NKBA identified from this year’s competition included detailed ceilings and  tactile appeal through textures.  These are definitely trends we are seeing here at Habersham too.  Take this lovely kitchen design by designer Allison Belans, owner/founder, Dream Home Interiors, Inc.

She felt that Habersham’s custom-designed cabinetry was the perfect choice for a kitchen with 12-foot ceilings, a coffered ceiling detail that is 14 feet high, and a floor plan that opens into the family room, dining room and breakfast area. Because the kitchen is the center of this entire space, it allows for 23 to sit down and enjoy family, friends and great meal.

Belans looked to Habersham’s rich finishes and hand-painted elements to help create the actual and implied textures that truly complete the look.  “One of the architectural points that I love the most is the massive mantle in the kitchen that features exquisite hand-painted Lombardy Art by Habersham. They offer such unique touches, color palettes and custom-crafted artistry that it’s often hard to make up your mind,” says Belans. “Habersham’s options are amazing. And there’s always something to match the sensibilities of my clients.”

We’d love to help you create a kitchen design that matches your own design sensibilities too.  Contact us today.
