Don’t settle for something that the neighbors have. Kitchen and bath manufacturers are finding ways to customize designs for a larger audience-look below to find a new way to get personal:

Sine Tempore by Valcucine: Fighting against the standardization inherent in globalization, Valcucine’s SineTempore involves craftsmen around the world by incorporating techniques including carving (top photo), inlaying, bush-hammering, and mosaic work. Production of the one-of-a-kind kitchens creates a new opportunity for small handicraft companies to pass their skills to future generations. www.valcucine.com/en

Range Hoods by Native Trails: Native Trails has expanded its offerings for the kitchen with a new collection of hand-hammered copper range goods. Each hood is signed by the artisan who made it; available in 36-inch standard sizes, the company also offers custom designs to accommodate special flue lengths, sizes, or island hood requirements. www.nativetrails.net

SatenDecor by Sevasa: Acid-etched glass is ideal for letting in light but maintaining privacy in kitchens or baths-Sevasa can create custom patterns and textures to complement a range of interiors. www.sevasa.com/en

Custom Bath Cabinet Systems by Henrybuilt: Everyon’s favorite homegrown custom kitchen system company doesn’t just do kitchens; designs can be extended into the bath for bespoke solutions that extend function, not to mention fine craft, into the rest of the home. www.henrybuilt.com

Axor Bouroullec by Hansgrohe: The Bouroullec brothers designed more than 70 products for the bathroom to allow clients to compose their own experience; faucets and knobs can be placed around or above the washbasin depending on various needs and enhancing the collection’s universal appeal. www.hansgrohe-usa.com
