Cabinet
Picture a 650 sq ft apartment and how every inch counts and then a 32,000 sq. ft. house and its needs. In the first, partitions are the best utilization of space if rent your apartment. Interior shelving/drawers are critical to the maximization of closet use. Freestanding bookcases lining a wall can hold the television and components as well as adding decorative to a small space. In a large home, you can create custom cabinetry or use Italian cabinetry to add to your Master Bedroom Suite. For convenience, microwaves and under counter refrigerators along with ironing board storage can be hidden within. Track lighting can be used to spot what is stored within. Decorative can be hidden behind special glass and islands can be created for folding. An ottoman can add to the comfort of the space. Floor to ceiling mirror can also make dressing easier. Sliding Doors are another way to hide your possessions either in large or small spaces and don’t take away space. You can add more furniture to the space as doors to not need to open into the room.
We have designed and installed cabinetry all across New York and the tri-state area.
Kitchen
Listening to the client and their lifestyle preferences is the key to a new kitchen design. Are you a cook or do you microwave? The answer will result in different locations for any cook. The distance one has to walk between appliances makes the chef. Also whether you want to separate the kitchen by a wall from your living space tells me your lifestyle.
Holzman Interiors has been designing and using stock, semi stock, or custom cabinetry for nearly 20 years. We not only design the kitchen, we install it as well. Our contractors are very familiar with the products and our design requirements, and are focused on getting our client back into the kitchen as quickly as possible. Lighting and appliances are another important aspect of giving you the kitchen of your dreams. We consider general versus task lighting. We also know from your location what type of gas you are allowed if going with a gas range. Lastly, we can provide most of the elements of y our kitchen for less money as we buy all categories more competitively.
Holzman Interiors can cover every individual aspect of kitchen interior design, leaving you free to get on with enjoying your new space.
Bath
Bathrooms can be a place of serenity as well as a place of expression. The choice of tile and implementation sets the stage. Whether the space is a total gut and relocation of the plumbing fixtures or just a remodel of style and design, a lot has to be planned before the implementation of such a project. There are so many pieces to this pie in sometimes no larger than a 5′ x 6′ box or as large as a bedroom. Toilets can be simple or as special as the Toto Neorest that does all you can imagine. They are also the hardest item to relocate in a space. Minimalist and serene can be accomplished through floating cabinetry, a free standing tub and glass to separate applications. In a more ornately designed bathroom, you may want walls to define space with a separate water closet when possible. The vanities chosen would be more embellished and fit the use of tile as an art scene.
Lighting sets the stage and is very important where task lighting is required. More subcontractors create this space than many other rooms in a house. It requires a sheet rockers, plumber, electrician, tiler, glass and mirror company and the General Contractor to keep the project moving quickly.
Considering all the elements is vital to a tasteful bathroom design.
Living
Contemporary & Classical
Apartment living design requires space planning. Imagine cramming all your household needs and ownership in 650 sq. Ft.? This is where clean lines work better so the apartment does not feel cluttered and unplanned. Room partitions help storage and can make a space feel larger. Homes are luckier. You can still have the clean lines but on a grander scale and walls create the mood. On the other hand, you can go back in time and use antiques, formal rugs and more elaborate window treatments to create an era of history.
Classical Architecture
- Generally is more ornate. It has sculpted mouldings at the ceiling, around the doors and windows and baseboard elements. The fireplace generally has a mantel either of stone or wood surround. Panels on doors, cabinetry or furniture are generally raised with appliqués
- Bathroom and Floor tiling or wood may incorporate inlaid treatment or mosaics
- General and Accent Lighting is busier in nature with use of crystal, curves and multiple candles
Contemporary
- Generally has less. If there are mouldings, then they would be plain
- Doors are flat or recessed panels
- Fireplaces have solid stone surrounds or glass enclosures
- No Mantels
- Furniture is plainer and lower to the ground
- Lighting is recessed, track or simple pendants and sconces
