STUNNING BACKSPLASHES
“ Before , backsplashes were just used as additions to finish the cabinet space , but these designs have come a long way .,” says Emanuel . “ Now , the backsplash has become a main focal point . From agate and natural stones to marble to book-matched porcelain , there are many different options . And some can even be enhanced and highlighted by adding back lighting . The possibilities are endless .”
SCULPTURAL LIGHTING
“ Spaces with clean lines and very architectural furnishings benefit tremendously by sculptural lighting ,” says Emanuel . “ These uniquely shaped pieces not only add light to the space , but also give a sense of movement and direction to the design aesthetic . When used in clean , modern designs , the lighting fixtures become focal points themselves like a piece of artwork . They also make excellent conversation pieces .”
