Whether it’s clothing or home décor, some things will always mean classic glamour: red lipstick, red toile, red purses and red front doors. Why red? It’s the first color a human can see. In China, red is the color of prosperity and joy. It symbolizes life and vitality. Red reflects a zest for life. When balanced by white or black, red can accentuate a minimalist effect or create its own drama. No wonder red is so hot -- it’s glamorous and it’s classic.

Just as today’s wardrobes incorporate glitzy accessories with classic pieces, the kitchen, too, needs to have style with function. Combining tradition and classic with glamour and glitz, the Glamboyant kitchen from Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry is a stylish redo for any kitchen.

Vince Achey, vice-president for Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry, says, “Consumers are doing everything with more glamour and style, from their clothing to their parties to their décor. They are savvy about their sense of style and they want to show it to the world. We’ve taken the traditional kitchen and given it a glamorous twist with sophisticated colors and sparkling accents. Red plays a very important role in this kitchen; it adds drama in a very classic way.”

Because so much of our time is spent there, the kitchen should be a reflection of one’s unique lifestyle and personality, but, at the same time, function and smart design must play an important role. Well equipped with savvy solutions in cabinetry for the serious chef, Glamboyant is kitchen as theatre.

Color plays an important part in this cast. Twin tallers in striking “Rhode Island Red” are balanced by dove white and low sheen black base cabinets. The tallers’ fiery red Wilshire doors in maple are faced with glass to reveal your most treasured collections. For easy access, a chic plate rack takes center stage nestled under a glass fronted showcase between the twin tallers. This classic combination of cabinets is accented by crystal knobs for a touch of glitz. The pearlescent backsplash coupled with the sheen of stainless steel countertops puts pizzazz in the mix. A bump-out sink detail adds a dramatic touch.

The Glamboyant kitchen from Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry offers the serious chef functionality with high style. The three-tiered twin tallers on either side of the sink offer smart storage solutions.

Pull out drawers at the base of each taller are the perfect home for your linens. A utility drawer with see-through compartments keeps wax paper, foil and twine orderly. Cookbooks are easy to grab from the coordinating library which sits atop the cross-corner cabinet complete with lazy-susan. Cookware awaits its cue in deep drawers that conveniently roll out, flanking the black Aga range. Whatever the occasion, from everyday living to glamorous galas, the Glamboyant kitchen is stylishly ready.
