This waterfall island isn't just a showstopper; it's made with up to 99% recycled content! It’s an example of Cambria’s Brittanicca Block, and it proves that sustainable materials don’t have to mean giving up style.

We're seeing more Asheville homeowners seeking eco-friendly design and sustainable luxury. We broke down which countertops, cabinets, and finishes actually back up the eco-friendly claims, and which certifications are worth paying attention to.

Meet Yvonne Licopoli, one of our talented designers here at the Design Center! 👋

Originally from New York, Yvonne’s love of bold colors and textures took off after she bought her first house, a triplex she transformed into a single-family home. She describes her design style as bold, eclectic, and timeless, and she can never pick just one favorite room to design. She loves kitchens because they balance beauty and function, and bathrooms because they let her have fun with finishes and personality.

Her favorite part of the job is taking a client's ideas and turning them into a space that feels like theirs, and watching their excitement when it all comes together.

Fun fact: Yvonne was 4 months old at her first Bob Dylan concert!

We love a social island, but we also can’t get over this ceiling. This home is proof that a light, bright kitchen doesn’t have to feel sterile.

This modern farmhouse was our 2023 Parade of Homes entry. And speaking of Parade of Homes... mark your calendars! The 2026 WNC Parade of Homes is October 17-18 and October 24-25, and we’re proud to have two entries in this year’s tour. 📆

Ready to design a kitchen people don’t want to leave? Call us at 828-252-1022.

Texture is running the show this year, and it’s easy to see why.

This Crossville Pottery backsplash tile catches light differently in every panel, the Starmark walnut cabinets lean into the wood's natural grain instead of a flat, uniform finish, and the Hanstone Quartz countertop has a soft, matte surface instead of a glossy one.

Nothing here is loud, yet it demands attention.

We’ve been loving the quiet luxury trend and just wrote about why texture is outpacing bold color in kitchen and bath design this year. Read the full breakdown on our blog.

This guesthouse tucked into the mountains outside Asheville is a perfect example of what an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) can be.

The natural wood floors and walls give it a warm, cabin feel, while gold hardware and crisp white subway tile keep it feeling current and fresh.

If you’re looking to give big personality to a small footprint, whether it’s a guest cottage, a converted garage, or a basement apartment, we just published a guide with tips on designing for an ADU.

Learn more about what details matter when every square foot counts.

Ever notice your mudroom smells a little musty after a hike or a rainy day

Open cubbies and ventilated storage let damp jackets, boots, and bags actually dry out instead of trapping moisture. It's a small detail that makes a big difference in keeping your entryway fresh.

We break down more smart storage solutions for your mudroom in our latest blog.
