This Showroom Spotlights Kitchen + Bath Trends In The Southeast

Since opening its second outpost in 2020, Atlanta-based Design Galleria Kitchen and Bath Studio has elevated Nashville’s design scene—with senior kitchen designer Richard T. Anuszkiewicz leading the showroom, appointed by longtime owner Matthew Quinn. Read on as Anuszkiewicz tells LUXE how he shaped the locale to his vision and what’s resonating with Nashvillians.

Tell us about your showroom concept.

Every vignette is intentional. For example, I chose Wolf’s flush gas cooktop instead of the classic range for our front display. We also worked with Gracie to pre-seal a botanical wallcovering for the backsplash then mount it under glass. It shows you don’t have to choose between beauty and utility; you can have both.

Examples of innovation?

The center room features the market’s only Château Moderne range, a collaboration between Matthew and La Cornue. I reimagined the waterfall island with a reflective steel panel for a lightweight, furniture-like effect, then added dining benches by Ray Booth for Hickory Chair. Adjoining this space is a state-of-the-art pantry with a magnetized, pivot-hinge door.

Which vignettes are the biggest hits with the local market?

The kitchen featuring black ironwork, the bright blue kitchen and the gentleman’s closet with metal and leather details. The dark wood kitchen with all Monogram appliances—including the brass hearth oven I custom designed with the brand—is also very popular.
