Make no mistake: Peter Salerno’s one and only true love is his beautiful wife, Tracy. But truth be told, his first love was world-class custom design. (We don’t think Tracy’s jealous, though.)

It’s that love for kitchen and bath design that was cultivated by his father, Rosolino, a master of old-world woodwork and cabinetry. That love for custom design was cultivated through Peter’s time at The Citadel, where he traveled the world and learned of its varied artistic cultures through his service in the U.S. Navy.

The love of beautiful design led Peter to open Peter Salerno Inc. in 1997. In the 19 years that have followed, Peter Salerno Inc. has become the most award-winning custom kitchen and bath design firm in North America, amassing an astounding 34 national design awards from notable names like the NKBA and Signature Kitchens & Baths.

Creativity and personalization are key factors in Peter’s design process. He feels the client should play an instrumental role in the creative process by sharing ideas to help realize their own unique design. With a dedication to artistic authenticity, Peter hand draws all renderings based on client need as well as careful period research.

It’s the standard to which Peter Salerno holds himself and his team on every design project. The kitchen, Peter says, is the heart of every home. It’s where family, friends and loved ones come together to dine, drink, and enjoy each other’s company, and share in the warmth of a wonderful meal. So why shouldn’t the heart of your home be considered precious by its designer?
