Features of Ultra Luxury Kitchens
When it comes to designing a kitchen that is truly luxurious, homeowners often choose premium materials like rare marble and custom cabinetry. They also opt for state-of-the-art appliances and sophisticated lighting systems. Expansive multifunctional islands and upscale finishes help to make these kitchens the centerpiece of a luxury home.
A stunning design element found in many high-end homes is a waterfall edge countertop. This countertop extends all the way to the floor, creating a seamless look that is both elegant and functional.
Other features that are frequently seen in ultra-luxury kitchens include smart kitchen technology, such as refrigerators that can be controlled from a smartphone, ovens that track what you cook and automatically preheat, and touchless faucets that conserve water and reduce bacteria.
Custom Cabinetry
Cabinetry is one of the most important elements of any kitchen design and remodeling project. It will be the centerpiece of your new kitchen and can dramatically influence your home’s overall style. It is crucial to understand the differences between stock, custom and semi-custom cabinetry.
Stock cabinets are pre-manufactured in bulk and come in standard sizes, styles and finishes. They are typically constructed with affordable materials such as melamine or plywood with veneers and simple hardware. Custom cabinetry offers unlimited options for personal customization including unique design elements and rub through enhancements that can be hand-applied. This allows for the design of a kitchen that is truly unique and will enhance your home’s value when it comes time to sell.
Kitchen Islands
A custom-designed kitchen island is a central entertaining space in an ultra luxury home. It can include everything from an extra sink and dishwasher to a full-sized dining surface or even a built-in oven or wine cooler.
To avoid a cluttered environment, luxury kitchens feature integrated storage solutions that blend with cabinetry, keeping counters clear for cooking. These solutions range from spice drawers and appliance garages to hidden charging stations for electronics.
