The Benefits of a Luxury Kitchen

As design trends change and evolve over time, so too home-owners are beginning to re-imagine their living spaces and the function of each individual room. Take the kitchen, for example, which was once considered to be a purely functional space and yet now boasts various applications for home-owners, residents and guests. This change in consumer perception has had a significant impact on the way in which individuals design their kitchen space, with a rising number of home-owners deciding to invest their money into luxury kitchens that deliver both style and function in equal measure.

 3 Benefits of a Luxury Kitchen

Now the heartbeat of most contemporary homes, the kitchen is likely to account for a significant portion of your home refurbishment or remodeling project. In order to justify this expense, consider the following benefits that superior, luxury kitchens bring to your home in 2013: –Paid

1. Creating the Illusion of Space:

Whether you live in a 5 bedroom house or a more modest living space, the nature of modern new build homes means that space is often at a premium. Fitted luxury kitchens are therefore an ideal investment, as they create the illusion of space and allow the room to be used for the preparation of meals and more diverse entertainment needs. One of the ways in which this is achieved is through the application of innovative storage solutions, which minimise the amount of surface space used and creates an enduring sense of luxury. Wall to ceiling storage and the installation of an island unit represent the most popular examples of this drive, and are found in the majority of contemporary kitchen design projects.

2. More Advanced Lighting Options:

The word luxury means different things to different people, but on a fundamental level it implies style, beauty and the embodiment of chic living. There are many subtle features of a luxury kitchen that help to fulfil the individual home-owners interpretation of the word, but the lighting options available stand out as the most obvious and widely appreciated. Spot lighting is a common feature of contemporary luxury kitchens, and these stylish fittings are usually placed under wall units, in plinths or within the membrane of the floor. The subtle shades of angled light that these fittings produce add a new dimension to your kitchen, and help to create moods for various individual occasions.

3. Boosting your Homes Resale Value:

The UK property market has enjoyed a tentative resurgence during the last year or so, as our long suffering economy finally begins to showcase signs of a sustained recovery. As a result of this, some home-owners are beginning to consider the value of their property, and whether they should place it on the market while sentiment continues to rise. The installation of a luxury kitchen will help to considerably boost the resale value of your home, especially given the importance of the space and its standing among contemporary buyers. While it may require an initial investment, national suppliers such as Better Kitchens offer home-owners access to considerable savings on cabinets, appliances and various other fixtures.
