Oversized Islands

Oversized islands have become a staple in luxury kitchens. They serve as multi-functional areas for meal prep, dining, and socializing. These expansive islands offer ample space for cooking activities, with room for multiple people to work simultaneously without feeling cramped.

The sheer size of these islands allows for the inclusion of built-in sinks, cooktops, and even dishwashers, streamlining kitchen workflows. Many also feature seating areas perfect for casual meals or entertaining guests. Additional customization allows homebuyers to personalize their islands with unique features like wine racks, a microwave and charging stations, making these islands as functional as they are stylish. Other must have features for our clients is a hidden mixer cabinet lift that stores your heavy standing mixer and hidden storage in the space in the front of the island.

Dual Islands

Dual islands, a rising star in luxury kitchens, offer a new level of functionality and flexibility. Homeowners are empowered to create distinct zones for different activities by incorporating two islands, enhancing the kitchen’s efficiency and adaptability to their unique needs. One island can be dedicated to food preparation and cooking, complete with a sink and cooktop, while the other serves as a dining or entertaining space with seating and storage. 

Open Wall Storage

Open wall storage is gaining popularity for its minimalist and contemporary look, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits. This trend emphasizes open shelving and accessible storage, making it easy to keep essentials within reach. Open shelving allows homeowners to display their favorite dishes, glassware, and cookbooks, adding a personal touch to the space.

Walk-In Pantry

Walk-in pantries are a coveted feature in luxury kitchens, providing ample space for storing bulk items, small appliances, and non-perishable goods. Walk-in pantries optimize kitchen storage by offering a dedicated space for everything from canned goods to countertop appliances, keeping the main kitchen area clutter-free. Key design elements of modernizing and maximizing walk-in pantries include adjustable and open shelving, integrated lighting, and proper ventilation to ensure a dry and well-lit storage environment.

Hidden Pantry

Hidden pantries are a sophisticated solution for homeowners who want the convenience of a pantry without disrupting the kitchen’s sleek design. These pantries are cleverly concealed behind camouflaged doors, sliding panels, or cabinetry, providing substantial storage space while maintaining a clean, uncluttered kitchen appearance. These hidden pantries sometimes serve as traditional “butler pantries” with space for food prep, appliance storage, and two-way accessibility.

Dedicated beverage stations are becoming a must-have feature in luxury kitchens, catering to the needs of coffee enthusiasts, wine aficionados, and cocktail lovers. A beverage station adds a touch of luxury and convenience, offering a dedicated space for preparing and enjoying drinks without interfering with the main kitchen activities.
