Luxurious Kitchen Design Begins with These 5 Simple Steps
The kitchen is the hub of many homes, a place for meeting, socializing, cooking, entertaining, and dining. Luxury kitchen designs combine the best materials with amazing floor plans for aesthetics and functionality. By keeping these 5 simple ideas in mind, you can create your ideal kitchen, unique to your tastes and requirements.
Material Selection
For a luxury kitchen design, material selection is key. Think beyond traditional tile or granite countertops and research new and high-end options. Visiting a local kitchen showroom or researching local manufacturers for counters, floors, and cabinetry is a great start to sourcing the very best materials.
Energy Efficiency
Beyond appearances, luxury extends to creating the most streamlined and high-functioning kitchen space in your home. Energy efficient appliances, HVAC systems, lighting, water heating, and insulation should all be considered when designing your perfect kitchen. These will add value to your home, as well as saving you money on your monthly energy bill.
Space Planning and Flow
Consider how you use your kitchen on a day to day basis as well as for holidays or entertaining. This will help you plan the space for the best and most efficient flow, storage, and entertaining. Consider cabinetry and where you’ll need things for easy access when cooking and working on kitchen projects.
Architectural Detailing
One of the best ways to create rich, beautiful spaces in your home is with beautiful architectural detailing. Creating features with stone, wood, and glass can add elegance to your kitchen space. Additionally, architectural elements are a great way to keep the flow of your home and tie your kitchen design in with the overall design of the house.
Lighting
There’s no better way to set the mood in a space than with quality, well-chosen lighting elements. Having a well-lit kitchen with great task lighting is important for work time. Remember that if you throw parties or entertain in your kitchen you’ll want to include appropriate ambient lighting as well. The perfect lighting can elevate your kitchen from a workspace to a luxurious, comfortable gathering area.
