A touch of glam in the kitchen has become a sign of luxury and a way to exhibit the individuals signature personality for the most treasured space in the house. Reflected in so many ways, glam has the potential of creating a dynamic focal point while catering to our appeal for a higher standard of living that lends itself to a lifestyle of genteel living. When executed well, this added dimension of glam sets the kitchen space apart with a wonderful sense of open invitation to those who frequent it.

As a designer and student of kitchen design I’ve seen glam applied in many different ways in the kitchen space. Accented like fine jewelry, custom built-ins tailored to suit a lifestyle, high-end appliances, one-of-a-kind surfaces and finishes, lighting, and unique product choices all play a role in bringing personality to the kitchen space.

Lacquered in a custom Aegean Blue from Fine Paints of Europe the cabinets set this kitchen apart as one-of-a-kind with the polished bronze hardware closing the deal.

Marble accents also seem at home in glam kitchens as seen in this showpiece island and custom backsplash with fan-shaped marble mosaic tile.

Over-sized or double islands have become a life-style driven design element in kitchen renovations. They not only create additional task zones but can double for family meals and entertaining.

Custom built-in kitchen cabinetry and open shelves works great at adding personality to your kitchen space while bring function to your lifestyle demands.
