Whether you’re remodeling your high-end kitchen or looking for a luxury property, make sure your kitchen boasts these key design trends. Not only will it enhance your home’s aesthetics and functionality but it will also increase its value.
SMART APPLIANCES
Smart appliances make cooking easier and give your kitchen an elegant look. Imagine controlling your fridge, oven, and coffee maker with just a few taps on your phone. Once you get used to it, you’ll wonder how you ever got by in the kitchen without it.
Here are some smart kitchen appliances you can install:
- Touch-screen refrigerator
- Microwave with voice control
- High-speed smart toasters
- Multifunctional digital air fryer
- Smart oven
- Smart Wi-Fi pressure cooker
- Automatic coffee maker and espresso machine
- Water-saving dishwasher
CHEF-GRADE STOVE AND RANGE
Professional-grade stoves and ranges are the most valuable equipment a cook can have. With these appliances, you’ll cook faster and reduce energy consumption. This will ultimately save money.
When it comes to creating gourmet family meals, having double ranges and ovens in your kitchen provides the space and capacity to do so.
Consider choosing a high-end appliance brand, such as Dracor, GE Monogram, Bosch, or Micele. Another excellent option is AGA, which is well-known for its oven and range combination.
WALK-IN PANTRY
You can’t add the word, “luxury” to “kitchen” if your kitchen space doesn’t have an expansive walk-in pantry. Besides organizing food items, it also allows you to access cooking essentials quickly. However, it’s not just about space – a walk-in pantry should also include built-in cabinets, shelves, and drawers for storing canned goods, gourmet treats, high-end kitchen tools, fine china, stemware, silverware, kitchen towels, table linens, and other items. In some luxury homes, walk-in pantries have an extra fridge, a second microwave, a wine cooler, and other small appliances.
STYLISH AND FUNCTIONAL LIGHTING
The right kitchen lighting boosts aesthetics and functionality while making the space feel more inviting. Luxurious lighting, however, goes beyond conventional recessed lights, pendants, and overhead light fixtures. It covers all kitchen lighting requirements. These include lighting for:
- Under the cabinets
- Underneath a bar
- Above cabinets (uplighting for the ceiling)
- Inside the cabinets
- Task lighting
- Rope lighting underneath the kickboard
When choosing the right lighting for your luxury kitchen, try out various materials like metal and wood. Get creative with your designs to achieve the atmosphere you want.
HARDWOOD FLOORS
Hardwood floors have been a staple in dining and living rooms for decades. However, today’s luxury homeowners prefer wide-plank hardwood floors in their kitchens. This is a luxury kitchen design trend that’s here to stay. They look stylish and functional and increase resale value.
A protective mat or rug beside the sink can catch small droplets of water and protect the floor from water damage. If you don’t prefer wood, you may opt for wood-look flooring.
