It’s no wonder why family members and friends are often found hanging out in the kitchen – food brings people together! Since the kitchen is in many ways the true heart of the home, it makes sense to give it new life with a High-end Custom kitchen luxury kitchen renovation.
From the layout to the material to the overall function of each element in the kitchen, a renovation is your opportunity to finally make a list of all your needs and wants, and to put together a new design that allows you to use your kitchen the way you want every day.
Read on below to discover how to transform a regular kitchen into something truly high-end and custom.
Space Optimization
Since the 90s, homes have integrated the idea of open concept into the kitchen. This means that the kitchen, dining room, and sometimes the living room do not have any walls separating them, transforming the space into a great room.
Open concept gives your home a communal feel, increases natural light, and improves the flow when you’re cooking and moving from room to room. From this perspective, and especially if you don’t have one already, a kitchen island could be the perfect structure to add to your kitchen, giving you more prep and storage space.
The island can be the new home of your sink, your dishwasher, or even your microwave! This is especially valuable if you’re a homeowner that would prefer not to have the microwave at eye-level (or taking up valuable space on the counter).
Materials
Kitchen cabinets take up the majority of the space in a kitchen, so you’ll want to choose a material wisely when planning your renovation. Popular wood options for luxury kitchens include:
- Oak
- Maple
- Walnut Sapwood
- Ash
- Ebony
- Birch
However, some fabricators embrace sustainable wood options such as reclaimed timber and bamboo. Bamboo is considered a renewable resource since it’s a faster growing type of grass.

Extra Features
Are you a minimalist? You can incorporate that into your kitchen’s design by eliminating cabinet handles. It provides a sleek and sophisticated look, and you won’t need to worry about banging your knees on knobs anymore. Instead, you can have hydraulic hinges installed on all of your cabinets, so each cabinet closes for you. It’s just one of many simple ways to make your life easier.
If you’re a wine lover or entertain a lot, consider adding a small wine cooler or fridge to your kitchen layout. It will provide more space in your regular fridge and keep your wine chilled at an ideal temperature. A cooler is practical, protects your wine collection, and can fit seamlessly into your kitchen design.
Appliances
Stainless steel appliances are the standard of luxury in this era. While they may need more TLC to keep their shine, it’s well worth the effort. This type of appliance complements any colour kitchen, as well as any material, whether you have dark or light cabinets.
