British Kitchen Makers Invasion

Above: Last April, bespoke cupboard makers Plain English opened up shop in Greenwich Village, NY, and the slightly less pricey company deVol (shown above, the company’s Bloomsburg Dark Shaker Cabinets) is opening a showroom at 28 Bond Street in the NoHo district of Manhattan in early 2019.

Fringe-Skirted Lounge Chairs

The New Gallery Wall: Decorative Plates as Decor

Above: We’ve been admiring “plate walls” adorned with matching plates from a series (shown above, a collection of vintage plates from Michoacán are mounted above a collection of Kissweh Pillows pillows at a recent Kneeland Pop-Up in Los Angeles) or a mix of collected pieces. (Also see Bugandé Cafe: A Moody, Eccentric Restaurant in Milan, where even the ceilings are adorned with plates.)

Ikea Kitchen Upgrades

Above: In the past year or so, an array of companies offering custom cabinet fronts to pair with Ikea’s kitchen systems has sprung up. “Ikea cabinets are like building blocks,” says Finnish company A.S. Helsingö (one of the company’s kitchen is shown above). For more, see Ikea Kitchen Upgrade: 11 Custom Cabinet Companies.

Skirted Sinks

Above: In her Bellport, NY, summer house, architect Elizabeth Roberts had a sink skirt sewn from a vintage Guatemalan textile in lieu of cabinet doors (see Elizabeth Roberts at Home: The Architect’s Own Beach House). For more ideas, go to New Old Trend: 10 Fresh Examples of Sink Skirts and Cabinet Curtains on The Organized Home.

Tabletop and Kitchenware Disruptors

Above: This past year it seemed a new tabletop/kitchen tools disrupter popped up every week, offering direct-to-consumer goods (see 10 New Kitchen and Tabletop Disrupters). Shown above: the No. 8 Skillet from Field Company, which was founded by two brothers who aim to re-create the century-old cast iron pans that had been passed down through their family.

Quirky Rattan Lamps

Above: Last April, Margot discovered Atelier Vime in Provence, a collection of contemporary and vintage designs made of rattan and other natural materials (see Rattan Revival: Wicker from Atelier Vime); one of their quirky lamps is shown above. So we took note when we started spotting similar lamps in stylish interiors, including Athena Calderone‘s recently renovated Cobble Hill kitchen, which she collaborated on with architect Elizabeth Roberts.

Oversized Pendant Lights

Handmade Soap Dishes

Other examples: the Flower Soap Dish from Alder & Co., the Soap Grill from Clam Lab, and our all-time favorite soap dish from a Lithuania ceramicist: Object of Desire: Haapa Ceramics Soap Dish.
