For many, a high end kitchen is all about the appearance. For some it is what appliances you use. For professional chefs it is a combo of appliances and flow. There is no right answer to what makes the perfect luxury kitchen, just a lot of really excellent ideas.

For the more modern kitchen, smooth or clean lined cabinetry is a must. Most high-end modern kitchens are decked out with custom cabinets that range from stained wood to a high gloss custom painted acrylic. Many of these kitchens are using creative lighting ideas all around the kitchen. From custom pendant lamps to the ever cool “under the onyx countertop” lighting. Speaking of countertops, many homes now use concrete countertops in a variety of rooms and ways. Concrete is even being left as the main surface for flooring in many rooms. To make for the ultimate modern kitchen, a good clean lined kitchen with a few surprises will definitely impress.

Traditional elegance will never disappear. Fads may come and go but traditional homes are generally safe from fads. These homes focus on details in woodwork, are generally focused on natural lighting and rarely do they feel unfamiliar. These kitchens make for great family entertaining areas. A traditional kitchen is a great style to have in a home that might be more transitional between elegant and rustic. More contemporary fixtures would make a traditional kitchen feel classy and elegant where more antiqued fixtures might feel more European or Tuscan. Traditional kitchens are also a good way to go if you are thinking of selling your home.

A high-end rustic kitchen generally needs to feel more open than others. These kitchens require brilliant lighting and lots of windows. When done right, these kitchens are absolutely stunning. Many homes in the Park City area are rustic in nature and have very high end kitchens. These kitchens generally include alder cabinets with custom knobs and straps. The sinks are either of a metal material like copper or are large farmhouse sinks. These kitchens are meant to feel at home in their appropriate surroundings and are the ultimate way showing how much you love the outdoors.

Many homeowners feel that the kitchen is one of the most expensive ways to update your home and I am not going to lie, it can be. So being thoughtful and preparing ahead will help you in your journey. Hiring a good architect might not be such a bad idea. Make sure you account for everything ahead of time. Think from floor to ceiling and from ceiling to floor. Also think of the natural flow of the kitchen. What will help you most and make your guest feel more comfortable in your kitchen. If you plan ahead you may find that your kitchen is just what the others want.
