New Luxury Kitchens, What are the Bells and Whistles?

August 9, 2011

In luxury real estate, a luxury kitchen adds tremendous worth to the home and it could easily be argued that the home should be considered only as luxurious as the extraordinary details the kitchen contains. Luxury appliances and expensive kitchen cabinets will last much longer and retain their value far better than mid-range and low-end options.

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.

For extra elegance, luxury appliances are often framed in with decorative carved posts or fluted columns. Sometimes 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. The following are the top contenders to consider when designing your luxury kitchen!
