Worth the Splurge
Design “Goodies” That Elevate Every Space
We love a thoughtful detail—especially the kind that makes clients pause and say, “Ooh, that’s clever.” That’s why we were thrilled to be included in Kitchen & Bath Design News’ latest article featuring designers’ favorite elevated extras—aka the splurge-worthy “goodies” that personalize a home and add lasting value.
In the piece, Lisa Adams shared why custom home safes have become a signature recommendation for our clients. While they're most commonly installed in primary closets, we’ve also designed them discreetly into home offices, entry foyers, and even hidden beneath the floor. It’s a premium layer of security that feels tailored, intentional, and quietly luxurious.
But the safes are just the beginning. Below, we’re sharing a few more of our favorite “extras” that add beauty, function, and bragging rights to any custom space:
✨ Our Favorite Design “Goodies”
Watch Winders, Integrated & Stand-alone
Built into drawers, display cabinets, or concealed millwork, a suite of watch winders keeps a collection secure and perfectly wound. LED-lit surrounds or glass countertops turn these into true display moments.
Panel-Ready Wine or Champagne Fridge
Whether it’s skincare or Sauvignon Blanc, we love a hidden fridge tucked into a closet island or home spa space. It’s the kind of daily luxury that always feels worth it.
Warming Drawers for Towels or Robes
Originally a kitchen appliance, the warming drawer is having a moment in closets and bathrooms. Perfect for heating towels, robes, or loungewear—it’s the ultimate indulgence on a chilly morning.
Charging Drawers & Hidden Tech Hubs
Outlets inside drawers? Always. We design discreet charging stations for phones, smartwatches, and even electric shavers—so your surfaces stay clear and your devices stay charged.
Custom Lighting Moments
From motion-sensor drawer lights to softly backlit shelving, integrated lighting adds both functionality and ambiance. We believe every luxury closet should glow.
Design should feel personal. These are the touches that make a space feel designed for you—not just styled to impress. And when done right, they increase not just the perceived value of the space, but how much clients truly enjoy living in it.
Want to bring one of these features to life in your home? Let’s talk.
