Each design goes through rigorous quality control and is shipped directly to our Short Hills, NJ showroom — where you can see and touch every finish, every detail, before committing to a single decision.
Our certified designers specialize in translating the latest Italian design trends into fully realized kitchen environments for New Jersey homes. From initial concept through final installation, you have one dedicated design team guiding your project.
Two-tone kitchens fail when the split feels arbitrary and succeed when it follows the architecture. The reliable compositions are few: darker tone below, lighter above, grounding the room; the island as a contrast volume against a quiet perimeter; or tall storage in wood while working runs go to lacquer. A rough 70/30 balance keeps one material clearly in charge — three-way splits almost always read as indecision.
Contrast works best across materials, not just colors: matte lacquer against warm wood veneer, or gres against lacquer, gives the eye texture as well as tone. Continuity elements — one countertop material throughout, consistent plinths, aligned reveals — hold the composition together so it reads as designed rather than assembled. Metal accents should follow one temperature, warm or cool, across handles-free profiles, taps, and lighting.
Binova's collections are designed to be combined — AVOLA wood with BLUNA lacquer, LAB GRÈS stone faces against warm veneer — and the showroom's full-scale installations demonstrate these pairings at room scale, where two-tone decisions actually get made.
