Color and detail inspire award-winning designs
The impact of color in design is one of the passions that drives Sarah Kahn Turner. A graduate of Kansas State University with a degree in Interior Design, Kahn Turner wrote her undergraduate thesis on color therapy, and strongly believes that living amidst great design and the appropriate use of color can positively affect the subconscious and provide inspiration.
In her current position with Jennifer Gilmer Kitchen & Bath, Ltd. in Chevy Chase, MD, Kahn Turner uses her interest in color to elevate her designs. Gilmer even refers to her as the firm’s resident color expert.
After working for over a decade in the design/build field, Kahn Turner found herself drawn to the nuance and detail of custom millwork. That led her JGKB, where attention to detail is not only encouraged, but celebrated. In her six years at JGKB, Kahn Turner’s design skills have flourished as she has learned about cutting-edge technology and how to truly customize kitchens and baths.
She has spent the last year building and opening the second Jennifer Gilmer Design Showroom, which she manages in Loudoun County. She splits her design time between the Bethesda, MD and Ashburn, VA showrooms. Her award-winning work has been featured in HOME, Traditional Home, Better Homes and Gardens, Home & Design, Chesapeake Home and The Washingtonian, as well as in regular features on Houzz.
