Renowned artisan redefines the luxury market with limitless vision
In the kitchen and bath industry, Peter Salerno’s name is synonymous with luxury. The Wyckoff, NJ designer’s richly appointed creations have redefined the high end of the market with unique applications of upscale products and new ideas that are anything but “safe.”
When a client wanted a design with two carved trees wrapped around a refrigerator, Salerno took it in stride. A stainless steel island with legs and drawers riveted together to look like the skin of an airplane? Absolutely!
“I get excited when I see a client who truly wants to do something different and artistic,” he says, citing projects ranging from a shadow box displayed in a countertop to a bar area with a 1″-thick glass floor that doubled as the ceiling to a wine cellar below, viewable from the bar – and lit with the touch of a switch.
Having done projects from the U.S. to Canada to Moscow, Salerno’s uniquely artistic vision takes him all over the globe, and often into new territory – including a sideline in upscale wine rooms that grew out of his passion for wine collecting.
An HGTV Featured Kitchen and Bath Designer who began his career in his father’s custom cabinet shop, Salerno believes “It’s all about the extraordinary.”
