KBE Design & Build: Making a Personal Statement

In designing their kitchen with KBE’s Kacie Hall, the clients’ goal was to create a space that reflects their unique style and love of Art Deco. The open-concept kitchen features crisp colors, elements of luxe and clean lines. Art Deco emerged from France in the early years of the 20th century and became a mainstay of design in the 1920s and ’30s. Its defining elements include geometric shapes, symmetry, bold colors and luxurious materials. Its popularity was reflected in architecture, home furnishings, textiles, fashion and graphic design. *Photos courtesy of KBE Design & Build.*

Designer

Kacie Hall earned her degree in interior design from the Art Institute of York. Prior to joining the team at KBE seven years ago, she worked as an assistant prop stylist. In addition to design work, she uses her photography skills to document KBE projects.

The Backstory

With a new home build in their future, the potential clients stopped into KBE’s former Lititz showroom (the company has since relocated to Brownstown) three years ago and made the acquaintance of Kacie. They liked what KBE had to offer and returned last year to pursue the project. Kacie says their main objective was a kitchen design that reflects their personal, unique and bold style.

Innovative Aspects of the Project

To create the Art Deco vibe, Kacie used curved reeded panels on the island. She also designed a sleek hood with metal accents.

Trends Seen in the Design

Simple clean lines exemplify the contemporary designs and bold statements that homeowners are gravitating towards.

Splurges Added to the Design

The homeowners splurged on a quartzite countertop and backsplash.

Does KBE See Kitchen Design Going in Any New Direction?

KBE has seen a turn towards conveying personal style with less concern about resale. As far as design is concerned, warm wood tones are staging a comeback.
