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.

Kitchens are the Ultimate Investment: As the most valuable room in any room, 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: 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 can last much longer and retain their value much better than mid-range or lower-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 short time. It is much better to invest big for quality now than to suffer the costs of cheap hardware – so buy it right the first time. Building a luxury kitchen is a great place to start.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets: Cabinetry can be one of the most expensive investments in a 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 make your kitchen even more desirable. If opulence is to your taste, consider adornments such as gold leaf to accent cabinetry details. Other high-end finishes include flush inset, frameless, or beaded inset cabinets with deluxe under mount soft-closing drawers.

High-End Appliances: To maintain a beautiful aesthetic, choose luxury appliances over mundane options. Luxury embraces the unusual; think of wood-crafted ornamental ventilation hoods or kitchen sinks made of copper, marble, or even granite.
