Schaefferstown, PA – The latest custom cabinetry inspiration from Plain & Fancy marries two current design trends, Safarience and Glimmer of Shimmer. The Safarience trend is known for its rich textures, animal prints and overall rustic appeal. Glimmer of Shimmer reveals shine and sparkle naturally found in metal and glass. The combination of Safarience and Glimmer of Shimmer achieves seamless transitional style, offering a softer side to modern.
Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry’s Safarience with a Glimmer of Shimmer kitchen assumes this transitional style with grace. The new “Transition” door style, created in celebration of these combined trends, brings a simple modern look to life. The bold grain of the Walnut cabinetry, accentuated by the rich Cocoa finish, mimics animal prints, while Safari-themed dishware is strategically placed throughout the kitchen.
“Safarience and Glimmer of Shimmer combine to form a trend that is cool and warm, modern and traditional. The beauty of transitional design is that it brings a fresh twist to something familiar,” says George (Butch) Achey, president of Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry. “The kitchen remains comfortable and inviting, but without sacrificing design aesthetics.”
The Safarience trend evokes an appreciation for nature and authentic African design elements that have a story to tell, integrating a sense of worldliness into the kitchen. The illustrious Glimmer of Shimmer trend is evident in the kitchen’s aluminum-framed cabinets, stainless sink and brushed nickel hardware. The rich Walnut wood, shimmery glass subway backsplash and clean lines of the “Transition” door combine to form an inviting insight into contemporary, where Safarience and Glimmer of Shimmer can truly exist effortlessly and harmoniously.
