When you shop for a luxury car there are a lot of features that can allow it to live up to its status. It can feature high-end materials like leather, enhanced technology like additional LED lighting, smart features, finely tuned engineering, and state-of-the-art design. However, your garage is not the only place that can house a masterpiece; your kitchen can borrow these same principles to create a luxurious space. But, what design features and trends are now being incorporated into luxury kitchens?

While a kitchen that is described as luxurious may seem like an extravagant feature, when you consider the amount of time and energy you spend there, along with the memories that are made in this central part of every home, it can be easier to justify. Here are a few things that can bring your kitchen to the next level.

High-End Countertops

One of the most noticeable and useful elements in every kitchen is the countertop. This is where you work, operate, and create. They also play a major role in the everyday maintenance of your kitchen. Marble, granite, and quartz countertops instantly provide a boost to the overall space. Furthermore, quartz is a tremendously durable and low maintenance material. While marble and granite are also durable, they do require more care than quartz. This decision can be made easier with the guidance of an experienced designer.

Custom Kitchen Cabinetry 

Aside from countertops, your cabinetry defines your kitchen. From an aesthetic perspective, they shape the footprint in a distinct way. They also provide a much more important purpose: storage, and organization. A luxury kitchen should be beautiful and functional, making the most of the available space. It doesn’t require elaborate etchings or Corinthian columns to feel high-end. In fact, the simpler the better. Opt for higher quality material and let the craftsmanship speak for itself, while adding your own personal flair with subtle touches like sleek hardware.

Luxury Kitchen Lighting

Lighting has come a long way in the past several years. From energy-efficient LED to strategically placed task lighting, the way your kitchen functions at any time of the day can be dramatically improved by implementing the right type of light. Whether you opt for an ornate chandelier or the more modern look of pendant lights, it’s important to match your lighting option to your design preference. 

Backsplashes Enhance Kitchen Appeal

Backsplashes serve as an extension of your counter space. They provide a streamlined look that enhances the overall aesthetics of your kitchen. Your backsplash can match the same material of your counters, extending as high as you’d like, or you can combine different textures and looks to create a distinct, striking appearance.

Luxury Kitchen Appliances

Just like your phone changes every year or so, kitchen appliances do the same thing. From ovens to refrigerators, technological updates occur frequently. Whether you want the latest and greatest in energy efficiency and engineering, or you are more interested in a sleek, clean, contemporary appearance, appliance options of today offer both. With Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity that support mobile apps, you have more control than ever before, and stylistically, appliances have never been more aesthetically pleasing.
