Kitchens are the hardest working rooms in the house, and they’re usually the rooms that get the most TLC when being renovated. But when designing a kitchen, it doesn’t have to be all about function -- you can get some glam in there as well! After all, with all the time spent in the kitchen wouldn’t you want it to be breathtakingly beautiful while making your best meals ever?
Here at Casey Howard Design we’re all about mixing functionality with fashion, combining chic and comfort. With our client’s kitchen we went for an overall classic feel with a hint of glam. But what exactly makes this kitchen both of those things? It all comes down to key design elements.

Infusing subtle hints of brass (notice the handles and that fabulous sink faucet?) keeps a kitchen timeless, and the dimensional tile puts a modern twist on a classic marble backsplash. And no matter the size of your kitchen, using white on white -- walls, cabinets, countertops -- makes the room brighter and appear larger.
But it’s not just about your materials, it’s also your accent pieces. With this kitchen, a custom mix metal hood is not only functional but also serves as a focal point while simultaneously blending with and complementing the other kitchen utilities. Finally, all rooms need good light and using lucite in the light fixture creates an unexpected hint of glam.
This kitchen is truly emulating a marriage between classic and glam. Once you have the right materials and functional accent pieces, you’re ready to pop the champagne!
