Home is where the heart is and love is in the beautiful aromas coming from the kitchen. Having a spacious home means you can be free to make your kitchen as luxurious as you want. Read on to discover unique ways you can create the large kitchen of your dreams!
Plan your kitchen layout
If you’re lucky enough to be blessed with an existing large kitchen and do not need to undergo construction to extend the room, work with what you have to create a signature look. One of the most popular kitchen layouts is the open plan design that leads into a polished dining room or lounge. This does a fantastic job of making the kitchen the central point of socialising and works brilliantly for those who love hosting and entertaining guests while cooking up a storm.
Inject your personality into your kitchen
True luxury can be seen through the expression of a well-utilised space. It indicates ultimate freedom and can be a world of fun to create. From the bare essentials of any kitchen right down to the finishing touches, your stamp of individualism will be on display in every nook and cranny. Take the theme of your home into account and work around your cooking style, the habits of family members and the cuisine you enjoy most often.
Choose each utensil and item of cutlery with care, as these will add or detract from the vibe you’re aiming to achieve with your kitchen. For the unpretentious, no-fuss family, a large kitchen island in the middle of the room would be ideal to prepare food and use as a breakfast nook or informal dining area.
For those who love gadgets and dream of being Michelin-star chefs, consider investing in appliances that do the work for you. Spare no expense by fitting your kitchen out with designer goods. Brands that have become household names have developed their reputation for good reason. Along with matching eye-catching style with reliable warranties, feel at ease by investing in things you will use every day or take centre stage on your countertops.
Customise your kitchen
Nothing symbolises wealth and opulence quite like having your kitchen appliances recessed into your kitchen cabinets. This trend gained popularity in the homes of top interior designers and celebrities. It involves the process of inserting your appliances such as the fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, deep freezer etc into the cabinets of your kitchen to create a seamless appearance to the eye. This application involves the technique of recessing. Your appliances will still be intact and under warranty, however, the cabinet door will be custom-built and cut to fit perfectly as a protective frame.
This gives you a clean canvas to fully express the minimalist kitchen of your dreams. Recessing your cabinets in a large kitchen will often give the appearance of an even bigger space. This luxurious preference is one that leaves no room for error and is best accented with a beautiful sink, stove and countertops. It sets the stage for these factors in your kitchen to shine.
Splash out on your spacious kitchen
Focus on highlighting the functional uses of your kitchen by accentuating textures and using contrasting materials. Think of a stone sink with brass taps and exposed pipes for a rustic feel, or modern, colourful fixtures that add an artistic edge to your space. Paint your kitchen walls in rich hues, to offset and complement the cabinets. Adorning the island or countertops with vases of fresh flowers or fruit bowls laden with fresh produce is also a good idea if you want to evoke a feeling of warmth and loving abundance in your home. Choose expensive serving trays and invest in a stylish drinks trolley to wow guests at your next dinner party. Every elegant detail counts.
