At Hampton Kitchens, our design team agree and believe that the best transitional kitchen designs for a client that seeks a luxury living environment consist of the following:

• Simple yet sophisticated furniture lines

• Minimal accessories

• Exquisite marble

• Premium, custom cabinets and paneling

2. Textures and elements that have, what I like to call, a ‘throwback’ or nostalgic feel.

• Farmhouse style sinks

• Oversized drawer pulls

• Weathered nickel and brass finished hardware

• Live edge wood countertops
