Luxury Kitchen Design Ideas and Pictures

Luxury Kitchen Design: Today's expensive homes are only as luxurious as the kitchens they contain. Luxury kitchens call for extraordinary details along with the use of rich materials and colors. Scroll down to see the complete gallery below.

Everything about this kitchen exudes elegance, with its the high coffered ceilings, antique white cabinets, decorative stained glass, and a contrasting wood island topped with gracefully shaped granite.

Ultimate Investment: As the most valuable room in any house, a luxury kitchen adds tremendous worth to a home. Unlike an expensive car, which can depreciate quickly, an expensive kitchen is an investment that creates value over a longer period of time.

Price Points: In my experience in the kitchen remodeling industry, I'm convinced that the old adage "You get what you pay for" holds true when it comes to building kitchens. Luxury appliances and expensive kitchen cabinets will last much longer and retain their value far better than mid-range and low-end options. I've seen mid-level cabinetry crumbling and falling off the walls after only 10-15 years. Cheap import cabinetry may "look" luxurious today but will end up in a dump in a very short time. Your best bet is to buy it right the first time. Considering a luxury kitchen design is a great place to start.

Luxury Kitchen Cabinets: Cabinetry is the largest and most important investment in any kitchen remodel. Luxury kitchen cabinets often feature high-end American woods like Cherry and Walnut with rich, dark stains. Exotic woods such as Sapele Mahogany or Brazilian Cherry can take it to another level. Specialty painted and glazed finishes can also make for a luxurious kitchen. For a downright opulent look, some cabinet finishers use gold leaf to accent cabinetry details. High-end kitchens often feature flush inset, frameless, or beaded inset cabinets with deluxe undermount soft-closing drawers.

Luxury Appliances: To create a beautiful focal point in the room, an artfully crafted wood hood makes a stunning design statement. For extra elegance, luxury appliances can be framed in with decorative carved posts or fluted columns. Occasionally the appliances themselves are panelized with wood. Luxury kitchen sinks can be crafted of heavy gauge stainless steel, polished or hammered copper, or even marble or granite.

Photo Gallery: Below are some pictures I've selected of luxury kitchen designs. If you enjoy the beauty and utility of these luxury kitchens, you might also enjoy the Traditional and Gourmet kitchens as well. Enjoy the photos!
