MUST-HAVES FOR A LUXURIOUS KITCHEN DESIGN FOR YOUR CUSTOM HOME



The kitchen is the most important part of your house. The kitchen is the center of family activity, communication and nutrition. When you’re designing your dream custom home, the luxury kitchen has to be just right.

It’s important to keep up with the latest kitchen trends in 2023 before you commit to building your home. It’s vital to stay up to date with the current kitchen trends. You also want to create a timeless design. Your kitchen will look outdated in a few short years if you stick to what is trendy.

In 2023, home owners will want a kitchen that offers comfort, functionality and eco-friendly materials in their custom home in Myrtle Beach. They also want a design that is beautiful. How can you create the modern luxury dream kitchen?

You can have a luxury kitchen design for your custom home

1. Larger Kitchens with More Space

The bigger the better! Homeowners want bigger homes in general because more people are working at home or doing hybrid jobs. The modern kitchen is also expected to be more than before. Luxury modern kitchen designs offer more space for living; a larger eat-in area, as well as more storage and workspace.

2. DUAL KITCHEN ISLANDS

The trend for homeowners wanting more kitchen work surfaces is very interesting. You need elbow room for all cooks if you have more than just one.

Two kitchen islands are a great solution. You can have two islands, one for guests and another for food preparation.

This type of kitchen is ideal for multi-generational households or larger families, particularly if the in-law apartment does not have its own kitchenette. This kitchen style is perfect for people who enjoy large gatherings with friends and family.

3. PANTRIES & STORAGE SPACE ARE LARGER

Custom cabinetry and shelving are the most popular ways to increase storage capacity.

What are homeowners looking for?

Large pantry or harder to store non-perishable foods, cleaning products, and paper products.

Utility, pantry, mudroom and/or laundry rooms are larger attached spaces.

Multi-station food preparation stations, like the counter pictured above.

Beautiful storage areas adjacent to the kitchen that can double as an office.

4. A HOME OFFICE ATTACHED

Our luxury kitchen designs often include home offices next to the kitchen. You can have a dual office or one large office. Having an office next to the kitchen will allow you to keep track of the family and divide your afternoons between cooking and working.

Choose kitchen features that are clean-lined and made of eco-friendly materials to support your values.

5. A Butler’s Pantry

The butler’s pantry is a great place to store stemware, table linens, fine china and silverware. It is usually located next to the kitchen, and sometimes between the formal dining room and the kitchen. This allows the counter area to be used for food service. If you like, a butler’s pantries can double as a wet-bar with custom wine storage.

6. A PREP KITCHEN OR SCULLERY

A scullery is the best option if you’re more concerned with food preparation and hiding your mess in the kitchen than you are about having a special place to store fine china. You can also call it a prep-kitchen or a secondary kitchen.

A scullery, or small room, is usually hidden and has cabinetry, shelves, and counter space to prepare food. A scullery is usually a smaller room with a sink and a dishwasher. Some sculleries have a second fridge or freezer. This is also the perfect place to store small countertop appliances.

7. PERSONALIZED CUSTOM BACKSPLASH

The latest trends in Myrtle Beach luxury kitchen backsplashes feature materials that are visually striking.

Here are some of our favorite materials for backsplashes in 2023.

Glazed tiles – The matte tile has given way to glossy. Easy to clean. 

Ceramic or porcelain tiles in bright colors or with interesting textures or patterns.

Metallic — Tiles or panels with a matte finish.

Natural stone – Quartzite and marble with large veins.

Glass sheets/glass tile — Custom patterns and colors.

Brick — As shown above, we prefer thin bricks. However, there are many other options, including faux or real bricks.

8. EXCITING, BOLD CABINET COLORS

White kitchens are timeless. With white cabinets it is easy to add color through tile, wallpaper, paint or appliances. In a recent kitchen trend, people have been adding color to the kitchen, bringing their own style into it.

Black, dark gray or blue kitchen cabinets are some of the other popular colors.

An interior designer can assist you if you want to bring your dreams to reality but are unsure how to choose colors and materials.

Many homes have had hardwood floors in their dining rooms and living areas for many years. Luxury homeowners want to extend wide-planked wood floors, like rustic hickory, into their kitchens.

It’s one of those kitchen designs that will never go out of style. Hardwood floors are not only beautiful and practical for your family but can also increase your home’s resale price. Particularly in the luxury market.

You can keep your kitchen wood floors in great shape by following a few simple steps. Use a mat or rug near the sink as a way to protect it from water splashes and prevent damage.

You can choose tile that mimics wood if you’re worried that your family might be too rough on the floor.

10. The Perfect Kitchen Lighting

The best light for your luxury kitchen during the day is the natural light from a wall, a skylight in the ceiling, or even a dormer. (See image below). For artificial lighting, LED is the best choice for luxury kitchen lighting.

LED lighting comes in every style you can think of and is available in any color.

It is important to match your kitchen lighting with the style of your home. The chunkier the design, the better for Farmhouse, Industrial and Craftsman kitchens. Unique, creative and bold designs are ideal for Modern kitchens.

Consider matte black metals and weathered metals. Weathered wood is also a good option. For the actual lights, choose a candle effect. Consider having a custom-made light fixture if you’re looking for something different.

11. The STYLISH STATEMENT

Farmhouse sinks are still the most popular statement sinks for this year. These sinks are large and rectangular in shape, but are also very practical.

Farmhouse sinks come in a variety of finishes. You can add accessories like cutting boards, draining racks and silverware trays.

Some farmhouse sinks have even textures or carvings on their front apron. Explore other luxurious sink textures to create farmhouse sink aprons.

12. The Best Appliance Brands

After you choose your luxury kitchen island it is time to decide the placement of your appliances and sink. Some people like to clean up in front of their guests or family while using the sink. Some people prefer to cook on an island with a gas stove so that they can watch their guests.

The most popular finish is stainless steel. You can choose from black or gunmetal as shown above. Ice white is also gaining in popularity. You can also choose appliances in custom colors to match your color palette.

13. Natural Materials that reflect and honor the beauty of nature

The focus this year is on natural textures and beauty. It means using more natural materials, such as rattan and unpainted wood. Materials with warmth and character are in demand. They should not be over-manufactured or artificial.

We love using wood in our kitchens. Some of our favorites are reclaimed ceiling beams, rustic wood floors, unpainted/stainless solid wood cabinets and range hoods.

Marble with veins and quartzite, which are both natural stones, are very popular in the luxury market.

Woodlands colors are becoming more popular in kitchens. These include dark grays and mossy, dusty, or baby blues.

14. GLASS DOORS OR GLASS PARTITIONS

The open-plan concept remains popular but is changing, particularly in the luxury market. People want the option to shut the door of their home office for a virtual meeting.

15. RANGE HOODS WITH STANDOUT STATEMENT

In 2023, the rising trend of statement range hoods is set to make waves in the kitchen. With the emergence of microwave drawers, you can bid farewell to unsightly arrangements above your range and embrace a more aesthetically pleasing solution.

It allows for large rangehoods in various sizes, shapes and colors. You can choose from industrial stainless steel, unpainted shiplap cedar, weathered metallic, or a glossy, white shiplap rangehood.
