A successful luxury kitchen design or kitchen remodel requires much more than simply updating your cabinets or countertops. When creating a space that offers elegant aesthetics and durable functionality, the details matter as much as the core elements. Whether you envision a sleek, modern kitchen or a warm, traditional space, a skilled kitchen designer can bring your dream to life.
Here, we will share some insights about luxury design elements you may want to consider including in your custom kitchen project.
Open Seating Arrangements
Open seating arrangements in your kitchen can upgrade the functionality of the entire space. Whether it’s a small breakfast table, bar stools for your kitchen island, or an entire dining area, open seating makes spending time in the kitchen as a family easier.
Chairs and accompanying arrangements should be located outside the central kitchen triangle — between the stove, sink, and refrigerator — so they don’t interfere with the space’s workflow. Chairs can be designed to blend in seamlessly with your kitchen’s other central elements or add distinctive flair with new bold colors and textures.
High-Functioning Kitchen Island
Kitchen islands are essential elements of modern luxury kitchens and create an open and spacious layout in your home. They also create an open floor plan, allowing more opportunities for natural light to enter. Adding a kitchen island can serve as the centerpiece of your workspace in almost any luxury kitchen arrangement.
An island can significantly enhance your kitchen’s functionality by providing extra storage and counter space. When visualizing this centerpiece, remember to think carefully about overhead lighting opportunities, making room for a toe kick, and installing outlets for appliances.
Smart Home Lighting
Examine their functional purpose and visual appeal when considering lighting elements, such as pendant lighting. Luxury kitchen island lighting can be a standout focal point, often offering the same value as a modern art installation. However, it doesn’t always bring the practical value of standard recess lighting. You should consider smart home lighting regardless of which luxury light fixtures you’re considering for your dream kitchen.
Smart lighting systems for kitchens allow homeowners to program their light fixtures and sync the lights with other smart home devices and systems. You can set up your lights to operate on a schedule based on when you get home and when you expect to use your space. You can also control the intensity of the lights from any mobile device, so you can always set up the perfect atmosphere and mood.
Innovative Pantry Space
One of the most common concerns homeowners have about their existing kitchen is insufficient storage space. Integrating a walk-in pantry or custom kitchen cabinets into your luxury kitchen design plans ensures that all your appliances, containers, and foodstuffs have a dedicated home off the countertop and hidden from the central food prep and gathering areas.
Cabinetry and shelving for luxury pantry designs are customizable, allowing the pantry and the center of the kitchen to integrate, becoming a single seamless space.
Durable Luxury Appliances
Upgrading your kitchen with luxury selections isn’t just about selecting new cabinetry and countertop materials. Central appliances like your refrigerator, range, and dishwasher create more functional value for your dream kitchen.
Kitchen Distributors curates appliances that match your preferred design style and blend with your existing design elements and cabinet configurations. Our exclusive partners and vendors allow our design team to find outstanding luxury kitchen appliance configurations that match each homeowner’s lifestyle.
Custom Range Hood
A custom range hood is an impressive upgrade for any kitchen. The metalwork and color combinations available with these installations are typically set to match your space’s other colors and textures, including your countertops and custom cabinet hardware. Whether you’re selecting brass, copper, or stainless steel for your range hood, this luxury feature will make your kitchen all the more outstanding.
Natural Light & Connection With the Outdoors
Award-winning luxury kitchen designs feature large windows and skylights that open up the space to meet the outdoors. An abundance of natural light allows your kitchen to feel comfortable yet energized, ensuring the room becomes the true heart of the home.
Greenery and other natural tones in your backyard or along the sides of your house can easily become a centerpiece of your custom kitchen designs so that the final product looks and feels timeless. French doors are also an attractive way to bridge the gap between your indoor and outdoor spaces.
