Saddle up to leather
Handle a new kind of hardware with Turnstyle Designs. Made in England by highly skilled craftsmen, these leather pulls gallop into the spotlight in both contemporary and classic kitchens. Choose from chestnut, chocolate, and black leathers with metal accents in ultra-sleek bar pulls, premier hand-stitched bow handles, casual country-western loops, and more.
 

Tame exotic species
Think the hardwood cabinet has nowhere else to go? Allmilmö’s Modern ART cabinetry line will have you thinking again. The high-gloss lacquer exotic wood collection is a strikingly new take on the kitchen’s favorite material. Clean lines and unusual species like Makassar (pictured), Zebrano, and Olivewood produce breathtaking results when used as an accent or throughout the room.
 

Back away from black
Start your day right by waking up to cabinets finished in Canac’s Espresso color. The Premium Color gives contemporary kitchens a rich jolt, offering a stylish alternative to black or stainless steel cabinetry. A sophisticated complement to stainless steel appliances, the dark chocolate color enhances the clean lines of the Mission Oak door style.
 

Put the top shelf in reach
Include common sense in your kitchen design with Rev-A-Shelf’s Pull-Down Shelving System. The chrome system lowers the two shelves 10” while pulling out 14 ¾” from the cabinet, making tiptoes and awkward stretches over cluttered counters a thing of the past. The unique gas-assisted lifting/lowering mechanism provides added stability and installs in both 24” and 36” wall cabinets.
 

Glaze in the beauty of age
Make a great impression with Yorktowne’s Impressions Character Packages. The multi-step finishing system bestows an heirloom furniture-look on thoroughly modern cabinetry though random physical distressing and sanding techniques that expose the natural wood. Buttery paints and golden stains come alive with dark glaze accents that settle in the cracks, hinting at the beauty of age.
 

Vitalize with vintage
Open up to the Old World with the Bordeaux kitchen collection by Atlas Homewares. The “shabby chic” pulls and knobs feature an Old World resin leaf design against oil-rubbed bronze. The dark metal draws out the nuances of each leaf—a combination of colors and materials that complements traditional European kitchens or adds a unique twist to more modern interiors.
 

Approach alder
Wonder about wood no more with one of this year’s most popular species—alder. With all the warmth of maple and an extra dose of character to boot, alder takes stain well, resulting in an enveloping richness. With trends toward the comfortable and natural, the rustic look of knotty alder and its beauty when distressed make it a perfect choice for today’s kitchen—Omega Cabinetry recently added the species to its offerings.
