Luxury Kitchen Ideas

A lot of time is spent in the kitchen. Whether you're big on entertaining or not, the kitchen should be a reflection of your style and sensibilities. Grand, luxury kitchens are at the forefront of today's interior design landscape, and while it may be daunting to create such an elegant room, it is achievable! We have created a list of our favorite luxury kitchen ideas along with tips, tricks, and guidelines on how to elevate your kitchen in both simple and extravagant ways.

Rusticity

When you picture a luxury kitchen, you may picture perfect, refined materials and finishes. However, even rustic kitchens can have an air of elegance to them! This kitchen, for example, features such deep, rich wood tones in the island and warm tones elsewhere in the room. The diversity in tone, the beautiful balance of richness and soft warmth, and the sleek design of the kitchen all work together to create a luxurious kitchen.

Modern Elegance

Modern interior design uses straight edges and linearity to create a very streamlined, sleek design. This can play well into a modern luxurious kitchen where you want a simple foundation that has a bold dramatic impact. Like this room, you may use simple cabinetry and lines as the foundation, and then you can build upon that foundation with different wood tones, an accent wall, and decorative accents on a floating shelf. This room serves as a prime example of how a relatively simple design can feel elegant.

Marvelous Marble

Marble is a highly luxurious, grand material that can be used anywhere in the home. In kitchens, this material can be used as the main countertop, backsplash, or island material. One way to use this material to create an elegant design is to use it as the counter and then have it run up the walls as well as the backsplash. The continuous flow and use of the elegant material will instantly elevate your kitchen's aesthetic.

Oversized Islands

Kitchen islands have risen in popularity in the past several decades, and they surely will not disappear any time soon. There are many ways to incorporate an island in your kitchen, but one way is to use an oversized island like the one shown here. Using a large island made of a luxury material can establish the island as a key focal point and work of art in your kitchen.

Adjacent Spaces

Whether you are decorating a home with a traditional floor plan or an open-concept space, it is important to consider how your kitchen's style complements nearby rooms. Common materials, colors, and finishes can help bridge the gap between spaces, as can lighting fixtures and accents like flowers or vases.

Setting The Mood

Light and airy kitchens are the norm, but they certainly are not the only option. Using dark wallpaper, black cabinets, and dark marble countertops in conjunction with one another can create a dark, moody kitchen that is boldly unique and dramatically elegant. Even if this room is too dark for your tastes, you can take elements of it and create contrast in your personal kitchen.

Line of Sight

An elegant kitchen shouldn't just look good for a magazine cover; it should look good to those who sit in the space. With that in mind, it is important to consider if guests will sit in the room, and if they do, what will they look at. In this case, the seats are perfectly set to face the accent wall, which provides a beautiful focal point in the photo and to those actually experiencing the room.

Simply Homey

When designing a luxury kitchen, it is important to decide what tone you want to create. In this case, the room is both elevated and homey with the traditional cabinetry, warm colors, and warm wood tones. However, that tone would be incomplete if there wasn't the runner rug. Rugs, however large or small, have a dramatic impact on the room's tone. So whether you are creating an approachable space like this or something more sleek and contemporary, a kitchen rug can help you establish the proper tone.

Illumination

Lighting is a key part of any room, but it is especially important in the kitchen. This grand kitchen has many sources of light, including the window, the undercabinet lights, the recessed ceiling lights, and the central chandelier over the island. As you design your kitchen, be sure to consider practical, ambient, and general lighting.

Earth Tones

Earth tones like green and brown are popular in various interior design styles. So, whether you're creating a modern boho space or something more transitional/modern, these colors can serve your kitchen well. Combine these colors with a trendy runner rug or area rug and the room will be well rounded throughout the entire space.

One of a Kind

In interior design, focal points are a key part of creating an effective design. These focal points are where the eye rests, and they can serve to define the entire room's design and aesthetic. In this case, the elegant sculptural piece does just that. Even if you do not go to these lengths, you can create a focal point with a unique work of art, a distinct wall of cabinets, or a unique architectural feature.

Form and Function

Luxury kitchens shouldn't just be beautiful; they should be practical as well. Aside from incorporating appliances that suit your lifestyle, it is also important to make sure the kitchen is comfortable to walk in and has natural flow for foot traffic. Runner rugs can help fulfill all those purposes and positively impact the room's style at the same time.

Simplicity

This kitchen has a very limited color scheme with the white cabinets, counters, and walls. With that being said, a room like this can serve as a great blank canvas. Incorporate decor like wood cutting boards, a vase of flowers, beautiful plates in the glass cabinets, and a gorgeous rug. Starting with a simple foundation/color scheme is a great way to adapt and change the room to different styles as trends come and go.

A Dark Contrast

Even if you want to create a light and bright kitchen, you can still play with dark accents and contrast. This kitchen only has one dark feature: the pendant lights above the island. Even if they are the only dark accent, they dramatically impact the space and draw it into the modern day. If that is not enough impact for you, you could also consider a black runner rug, dark drawer pulls, and dark wall decor.

Glorious Galley

Although galley kitchens aren't as popular as they once were, they still can work well in smaller homes. Like this room, you may use dark cabinetry to create a dramatic impact and lean into the feeling of being small. Or, you can use lighter colors to make the space feel larger than it is. Galley kitchens can still be plenty stylish, so don't discount these layouts!


Creating a luxury kitchen can be as simple as adding in decorative accents or as complicated as doing a complete overhaul and incorporating new, high quality materials.
