Top 5 Things to Look for In a Luxury Apartment Kitchen

Your apartment is more than just a place to live — it’s where you showcase your personal lifestyle. Your kitchen should be no exception. Here are five things to look for in a luxury apartment kitchen that will make your cooking and dining experience everything it should be.

New, Stainless Steel Appliances
Stainless steel appliances offer a number of advantages to your modern and luxury-infused kitchen. First they offer a nice modern, cutting edge appearance that’s easy on the eyes. They also offer a shine and brightness to the space that’s relatively simple to clean and maintain. For an even better experience, look for Energy Star® appliances that will help you save on utility bills and reduce your overall carbon footprint.

Modern Lighting
Modern lighting is a must for any luxury apartment kitchen. In addition to natural light, the right fixtures add an open airiness to your space. Simple, elegant light fixtures compliment the overall style of your kitchen and highlight, rather than compete with, your other décor. Not to mention that the right lighting can significantly improve the food preparation process!

Open Floor Plan
Open floor plans have become the new standard way of structuring homes. They create a sense of freedom and openness in your kitchen that allows for a breath of fresh air compared to older, tighter designs. In addition to the spacious interior, you’ll also have a more interconnected space that allows easy access and view of kitchen, especially while entertaining guests.

Breakfast Bar

A simple way many open floor plans create division between the kitchen and the rest of the space is with a breakfast bar. One side can be used for meal preparation while the other makes for a perfect setup with bar stools or chairs. Whether you’re looking for a spot to enjoy a leisurely breakfast or a place for guests to sit while you entertain, a breakfast bar is one of our favorite luxury apartment kitchen features.

Counter Space
Counter space is a luxury no aspiring chef should go without. You need room to prepare your culinary masterpieces, after all! Your counters can also be used to express you unique tastes and styles. Decorate your modern kitchen with bright flowers or store your most frequently used spices in colorful jars. A well-designed luxury apartment kitchen becomes so much more than just a place to cook. It’s an expression of your personal lifestyle.
