Beautiful Kitchens & Baths Spring 2015

The kitchen is the heart of every home. For the gourmet chef and the master host or hostess, having a kitchen that functions while looking beautiful is an absolute must in design. Recently, we have been getting requests for modern kitchen design. Modern kitchens are everywhere. Their sleek design prioritizes functionality, sustainable materials, and durability for today’s hectic lifestyle.

What we find, however, is that interpretation of “modern” can vary. Today, we are sharing some examples from our portfolio and our own perspective on how to design the modern kitchen.

The kitchen in your home should be the epitome of your style. While these are typically the cornerstones, your kitchen should contain all the functional comforts you need to cook fabulous meals and entertain effortlessly. That is the definition of a true modern kitchen.

For those of us that are parents, the kitchen can be a place of extreme chaos. For those of us that work long hours, the kitchen can be a place of hasty meals. And for everyone in between, the kitchen can be another space to clean at the end of long day. The modern kitchen hopes to alleviate all of this through design.

We love working with local artisans to create unique moments for our clients. Here we worked with Segreto to create a custom plaster vent hood.

As people spend in the kitchens, they want to turn them into more luxurious spaces. Whether you're looking for ways to add a touch of luxury to your own kitchen or are in the market for a complete renovation, there are plenty of options. In this post, we share luxury kitchen ideas to suit every taste to help you get started.

Kitchen Cabinet Design Ideas To Give Your Space An Ultimate Makeover

Installing crisp white cabinetry and countertops is one of the best ways to add a touch of luxury to your kitchen. White cabinets provide a clean, fresh look that can make even the most modest kitchen feel bright and spacious. Countertops made from white granite or marble add beauty and function, providing a durable surface that resists scratches and stains.

Stainless steel is a timeless material that adds a touch of elegance to any space. It also has the added benefit of being easy to clean and maintain. When choosing stainless-steel accents for your kitchen, consider items like faucets, appliances, and light fixtures. You can also find stainless-steel backsplashes and countertops. Adding just a few stainless-steel accents allows you to create a luxury kitchen that your friends will envy.

Luxurious kitchens tend to be spacious and bright. This can be achieved with light cabinetry, flooring and lights. White, in particular, is a clean and fresh color that instantly makes any room feel more luxurious. When using bright colors, be sure to use them in moderation. Too much brightness can overwhelm the space and make it feel small. When using white, make sure it complements the other colors in the room.

Wood is a material that immediately adds warmth and sophistication to any space, making it the perfect way to give your kitchen an upscale feel. Wood cabinets can be stained in a rich hue to create a luxurious look. Adding wood floors or accents will also help to create a warm and inviting space. If you want to take things a step further, consider adding wooden beams to the ceiling. These details will give your kitchen an elegant and sophisticated feel.

Adding industrial elements to your kitchen is a great way to create a modern yet luxurious look. Exposed brick walls, metal finishes, and concrete countertops can all add a touch of industrial chic. However, use these elements sparingly, as too much metal or concrete can make a kitchen feel cold and sterile. Instead, focus on creating a balance between rugged and refined.

Gold has a timeless elegance that adds a touch of luxury to any space. You can add gold accents to cabinets and appliances or incorporate them into your kitchen as a backsplash or countertop material. If you are on a budget, you may want to consider using gold paint or wallpaper to create a luxury look in your kitchen.
