So Fresh and So Clean... White Cabinetry is all the Rage in 2015

So Fresh and So Clean... White Cabinetry is all the Rage in 2015

Out with Wood... In with White

Browsing through photos of recent projects I have noticed a continuing trend. In the past year or so. Client requests for wood cabinetry seem to have disappeared almost completely and have been replaced by a demand for units in subtle yet radiant white. You may wonder why, when wood provides such rich colouration, but the photos of our white built-in units are proof that white is not boring, but eye-catching and vibrant. Any one of these custom pieces has the potential to make you the envy of every person who enters your living room.

Big, Beautiful, and Bright

Take this custom designed and built entertainment and fireplace unit that we created for a client recently. The enclosed cupboard space provides ample room for the items that you would rather keep hidden behind closed doors. The open shelving is the perfect blank canvas for you to add your own touch to your living space... and the wine racks, well, who can so no to that?

It's All in the Details...

This second custom unit - designed by Claire Jefford of Creating Contrast Designs - is the picture of monochromatic perfection. The integrated lighting is a magnificent way to illuminate your decor and brighten your living space. The glass-insert cupboard doors allow these homeowners to hide unsightly electronics, such as the cable box and Blu-Ray player, while still allowing for them to be operated by remote control without opening a door. The contrast between the white cabinetry and the wood flooring is completely fantastic, and the detailing around the fireplace is distinctive without being overwhelming. Just wait until the above-the-fireplace big screen television is installed!

Custom Cabinetry: Fireplace, Entertainment, Display and Storage

Posted on 18 February 2015
Custom Cabinetry: Fireplace, Entertainment, Display and Storage

Designed by Claire Jefford of Creating Contrast Designs, this entirely custom built-in entertainment and fireplace unit has turned a plain wall in to a work of art in itself. The combined efforts of Creating Contrast Designs and Kent Custom Carpentry resulted in a stunning unit and will hopefully mark the first of many successful projects together.

 

This unit features a gas fireplace, solid wood mantle, and stone veneer accent wall. A wealth of storage presents itself in the form of custom display shelves with integrated lighting, and six cupboards with adjustable interior shelving. Even while the homeowners await the installation of their new television, I think it is safe to say that this is a unit that is both functional and esthetically beautiful.
