Whether your kitchen style is traditional or more modern, a few common trends carry throughout the new luxury kitchen. The kitchen continues to be everyone\u2019s favorite room to makeover! It\u2019s a central hang-out spot in the home, frequently used, and a good kitchen greatly increases property value. Here are the latest in luxury kitchen design trends:<\/p>\n

8. Multiples (of Everything!)<\/b><\/h1>\n

Dual ovens, dual sinks, and dual pendant lights over dual kitchen islands. Having two ovens is helpful when you\u2019re cooking multiple dishes for one meal. Ditto for dual sinks — having a main, deep, double-bowl sink, complete with a pot filler to pair with a small prep sink on one of your kitchen islands makes meal prep more efficient! <\/span><\/p>\n

7. Slim Seating<\/b><\/h1>\n

We are seeing a lot of second kitchen islands replacing the traditional kitchen dining nook: homeowners are opting for the extra counter space with barstool seating over table and chairs. Among the kitchens that maintain a traditional breakfast nook, we are seeing a lot of bench seating. Both of these space-saving slim seating options make the kitchen both more of a relaxing hangout <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> more like a restaurant. <\/span><\/p>\n

6. Seamless Surfaces<\/b><\/h1>\n

From touch-tap, no-pull cabinetry, and induction stovetops, to hidden outlet strips installed beneath grout-less, marble-slab countertops, sleek, clean surfaces are trending. Seamless design helps keep the kitchen tidy.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Display Storage<\/b><\/h1>\n

Wine storage is a popular addition and comes in many forms. An elegant glass-front wine fridge is a great way to show off your collection! Also popular: A mix of traditional cabinetry, appliance \u2018garages,\u2019 and some glass-front cabinets to display decorative dishware or a cookbook collection!<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Out of Sight, Out Of Mind<\/b><\/h1>\n

In addition to the hidden outlets, new luxury kitchens are optimizing the use of the walk in pantry, housing smaller appliances like microwaves and coffee machines or trash cans.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Varied Lighting Sources<\/b><\/h1>\n

A lot of different types of tasks have to take place in the kitchen, which means one single light source isn\u2019t going to do the space justice: a mixture of under counter lighting, skylights, island pendants, and overhead recessed lighting help to optimize meal prep, dining, and manage to conserve energy! <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Niche Heating Appliances<\/b><\/h1>\n

Steam heat ovens, warming drawers, pizza ovens, insta-hot sink nozzles: custom kitchens are catering to very specific dietary needs and finding ways to conserve energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Tech in the Kitchen<\/b><\/h1>\n

From built in TVs and speakers so you can watch HGTV all day long while you cook (just kidding!) to smart appliances like smart ovens, dishwashers, and refrigerators, technology is becoming an intrinsic part of the modern, luxury kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n
