Food is seductive, home cooking is a decadent (for some!) If your kitchen is indeed the heart of your home - or linked with your dining space - then you’ll want to fill it with the kind of luxury you’d expect at your very favourite restaurant. This gallery of 51 inspirational kitchen designs are steeped with luxury for high end homes, but that doesn’t mean that there’s no inspiration here for more compact proportions too. Luxury is a treat that can be enjoyed at any scale, just as wonderful food can delight any taste buds. So, get your chefs hat on and image yourself in these amazing spaces as you whip up your signature dish.

Marble kitchens have always spelled luxury. That sleek veined organic pattern across a countertop, backsplash or flooring is enough to shape a space, but how about taking the effect right across all of that and even cabinet fronts too? The all encompassing marble backdrop in this luxury kitchen-diner is balanced out with eye-catching emerald green accent furniture and plants.

Marble envelops just the central island of this grey and white kitchen, but the volume is chunky and strongly commands the space.

Cater for the masses. A long lineup of designer kitchen bar stools make a statement here, and if you’ve got the space (and the cash) then hey, why not? These are Cherner style stools.

Turn up the contrast. High contrast black and white kitchens are sharp and edgy – though this one has a nature theme with its flock of gulls mobile. Their fluid shape melds beautifully with the randomly streaked marble feature wall.

Add a bit of bling. Adding shiny accessories doesn’t have to mean crystal chandeliers or sparkle worktops. These copper desk lamps add a sophisticated metallic touch without being too showy.

Grey and woodtone look smooth through and through. The wood tone across this kitchen island has the added appeal of a fashionable herringbone design too. See more grey kitchens here.

Add in a dropped dining bench. Not everyone is comfortable perching on high bar stools and it certainly doesn’t evoke a formal feel. If there is only room up alongside the kitchen island for dining then consider dropping the dining bench to a more civilised height.

Reflections brighten up a dark room. If you have poor light or high windows in your kitchen area, consider metallic fronted luxury kitchen cabinets to help bounce the light around like in this galley kitchen. This trick can also help a compact space feel larger.

Create an indoor-outdoor kitchen with fully retractable patio doors.

Trelliswork creates a garden feel in this modern luxury kitchen.

Crown your design with elegant kitchen lighting. Two beautiful bar pendants brighten up this tame white and wood kitchen. See more white and wood kitchens here.

Create a sleek wall of tall cabinets. If you’re blessed with a generously sized kitchen island or peninsula, consider going bench free in your backdrop. A solid wall of full height cabinets becomes as much part of the decor as it is part of the kitchen.

Add a beautiful rug. Okay, so a rug is NOT a good idea in the drop zone around the edge of benches – you would be forever whipping out the stain remover and trying to vacuum out the crumbs. However, in larger space, a central area rug can really cosy up the look, particularly in a dining kitchen.

Revitalise a kitchen with plants. Just about every single kitchen looks better with some greenery in it. Whether that’s cascading hanging plants like this one or a line of bushy potted herbs is up to you.

Group multiple modern chandeliers for added effect.

These kitchen pendant lights appear to clip to the decorative ceiling moulding – like earrings.

Sculptural kitchen island lighting! You can even turn up the luxury factor in a white on white kitchen design by picking out a group of novel pendant lights.

Be creative with colour. A pink kitchen may not be the first thing that springs to mind for a luxury kitchen, but a hint of pink is hot right now. Team with some powder blue for pastel coloured wow factor.

If you’re looking for colour scheme inspiration, then luxury chocolate boxes are a good place to start. This kitchen looks fresh out of the wrapper.

Add in some art. This large piece of wall art adds finesse.

Keep it simple. A minimalist kitchen design can still look high-end, it’s all in the quality of the materials and a well balanced layout. The linear suspension light in this simplistic scheme keeps a low profile but accentuates the long line of the central island.

Sharpen up a wood kitchen with fresh white accents. This row of mini pendant lights drip cool white in front of wooden wall cabinets.

Include open kitchen shelving nooks like this white and wood Scandinavian kitchen.

Mix cabinet finishes. Smooth and sleek black cabinets crash up against rough raw wood in this rich yet rustic design.

Install a multi aspect island. This one is equipped with the cooker at one side and the sink on the other. More images of this gorgeous home here.

Style the surrounding decor as part of the cabinetry. The structural column that neighbours this kitchen installation has been clad in white marble and trimmed with blonde wood tone to match the units.

Use LED strips to highlight the edges of a sharp minimalist kitchen.

If wine is your thing, then let it sing! Fashion a towering wine storage rack as part of your kitchen decor for a decadent wine cellar effect.

By utilising a number of these tips in an understated way you can achieve small kitchen luxury. This little gem includes a classy white marble backsplash, pretty greenery, monochrome contrast, intriguing wall art and the glow of LED under cabinet lighting.

Change your tone. Actually, change it a few times, like this triple grey toned kitchen design. Natural wood tones are introduced to warm and enrich the cool colourway.

Ring the changes. A luxury industrial style kitchen can be enriched with beautifully patterned floor tiles and cheerful coloured accent drawers.

You almost don’t need amazing cabinets in a setting as wonderful as this one. Wainscotting and highly decorative boiserie put on the real show.

Luxury vinyl flooring adds interest to a modern space. Where decorative features are lacking, you can create a visual boost with a swathe of geometric tile or vinyl flooring. The wooden bar stools, kitchen countertop and and the copper pendant lights adds another hue to the mix.

Choose integrated appliances for a sleek streamlined look.

Add in a wine cooler. This under counter wine cooler shines like a little jewel in the crown of this black kitchen ensemble.

Make a mosaic. The floor of this blue kitchen flows with organic mosaic pattern.

Style it out with sculptural form. This amazing wooden breakfast bar seems to grow right out of the wall.

The sculptural piece in this kitchen is an island with a curvaceous cutaway. Linear kitchen lighting keeps the look clean.

Angular cutaways are the focus in this artistic kitchen design, where asymmetrical form is key. Every single section is carved out as a sloping volume that follows a different gradient to the next – including a bespoke skylight design to complement the aesthetic of the cabinets.

Nothing says luxury like an entirely gold kitchen. This U-shaped kitchen also features a stunning cantilevered effect peninsula.

Another amazing sculptural peninsula. Looking as though it has been constructed out of folds, this volume is like a giant piece of origami.

Create a cubist kitchen. So, this kitchen island idea really doesn’t even look like a cooking space at all. It’s more like a deconstructed concept or an abstract idea of a kitchen.

This spectacular space is all about the architecture. More images of this here.

Flirt with a futuristic approach. Cutting edge technology, digital look lighting ideas, clinical glass cabinets and the infiltration of live plants gives this modern kitchen a year 2500 kind of feel.

Grow yourself a green feature wall with an indoor vertical garden.

Imagine you’re hosting your own cooking show! Arrange your cooking hob on an island facing outward to the audience… okay, so that’s actually just your family but they can still enjoy the show!

Master the art of levitation. Recessing the bases of units gives them a cool weightless look.

Add pieces of classic elegance to a modern kitchen, like these sculptural busts.

A dark kitchen looks sophisticated for sure, but don’t be afraid to throw in a couple of brighter pieces like these uplifting bold yellow lighting options and area rug.

If you want to throw your cash at just one luxury item, the kitchen backsplash isn’t a bad choice. Pick out some showstopping tiles to set the scene.

The perfect luxury kitchen for mermaids or Aquaman – or just fish enthusiasts.

10 best luxury looks for your kitchen |

(Image credit: Future)

The best luxury kitchen ideas include classic and contemporary schemes to suit every home's style – and we have included a ton of added-value interior design advice, too.

So whether your luxury kitchen design is expansive, open-plan, a shared family space or on the compact side, there are plenty of kitchen ideas with high-end looks to suit. Plus, we have catered to a wide variety of kitchen styles, color preferences, and kitchen layouts, and, as ever, there are ideas you can adopt quickly – and whole-renovation inspiration for your all your luxury kitchen ideas, no matter the cost. All of which will make a kitchen look expensive.

Luxury kitchen ideas

Embrace the best kitchen layout ideas, modern kitchen materials, on-trend kitchen color ideas and mood-boosting kitchen lighting ideas to create a luxury kitchen that is world-class.

We asked the interior design experts to share their top luxury kitchen ideas, and found some impeccable examples to inspire your next kitchen remodel. 

1. Invest in a luxurious surface

(Image credit: Ledbury Studio)

From chunky profiles and slab style to material mixes and clever illumination, it's time to see kitchen countertops in a new light.  

‘If you want to elevate luxuriousness in the kitchen, a waterfall countertop never fails to produce a show-stopping feature. Rather than a standard flat slab of stone sat on top, the countertop ‘flows’ over the sides to the floor, which creates a very dramatic look,’ says Charlie Smallbone, founder of Ledbury Studio. 

This modern kitchen island idea is an excellent example, featuring a porcelain waterfall top on two sides with a brass trim that complements the stunning solid brass front panels. In contrast to the smooth porcelain top, the solid brass has been distressed by hand, then aged and patinated.

Harness the full potential of this coveted kitchen focal point by choosing bold shapes, materials and design twists for your kitchen island ideas.

Think outside the box with an island shape that’s totally unique. ‘It’s a brave move to step beyond classic rectangular designs but the pay-off can be huge in terms of visual impact in a luxury kitchen.  

Here, we designed the kitchen island to look like a beautiful piece of furniture. It reflects the owners’ adventurous personality, while also helping to zone the open-plan kitchen,’ explains Jane Powell, designer, Roundhouse.

3. Light the way in a luxury space

A layered approach to modern kitchen lighting ideas not only set the mood to your kitchen but will also bring interest and depth to a luxury kitchen.

Sourcing lighting that shares a design dialogue with your kitchen furniture will help your scheme feel sophisticated and considered. Look for light fittings in similar shapes, thicknesses and, of course, co-ordinating finishes. 

Here, the horizontal bars of the pendant lights artfully align with the brass trim on the cabinetry behind. Warm metallic finishes can be hard to match, so do request samples before you buy. Ensure brass items are either all lacquered or all unlacquered to retain uniformity. If the taps you like don’t come in a matching brass, choose black, which goes with any metal

4.

Embrace the beauty of wood

Wood kitchen cabinet ideas are are being reinterpreted with fresh and interesting techniques. Dark timber designs for luxury kitchens have stepped into the light. The traditional hues and craftsmanship of antique furniture have been deftly brought up to date with contemporary lines and detailing. 

‘Combining darker tones with lighter finishes allows our designers to balance the feeling of solidity and depth, while still making the most of any natural light,’ explains Andrew Hamilton Barr, director, Espresso Design. 

Here, Cesar’s Intarsio range takes its inspiration from traditional marquetry to create doors with distinctive cross direction veneers that are paired with dark marble to create a unique and luxurious kitchen. 

5. Introduce a two-tone color combination

Why choose one when you can have two? A pleasing pairing of cabinetry shades will deliver depth and interest to a luxury kitchen.  

Worried your current color crush won’t last? ‘The beauty of painted kitchen ideas and two-tone kitchens is that in time, should fashions or your taste change, it’s simple to create a new look, especially if you restrict your bold choice to one unit, like an island or dresser,’ says Jasper Middleton, design director, Middleton Bespoke. 

‘When choosing bold shades it’s important to consider the architecture of the space as a whole in order to give the color room to breathe,’ he adds. ‘Here the bold pop of orange is balanced by the soaring ceiling and simple backdrop of polished concrete and blue-grey hues.’

6. Use nature-made materials 

(Image credit: minotticucine London)

For a truly one-off modern kitchen island idea, look to naturally unique materials. ‘We love to use nature-made materials in a very contemporary way,’ says Achala Knights, head of design at minotticucine London. ‘The contrast between the natural fluidity of defined woodgrain or heavily veined marble, against the crisp lines of modern cabinetry feels unexpected. The simple form of our furniture means there are no visual distractions, just the beauty of nature.’

Take inspiration from the professionals and enjoy a chef's kitchen that's fully equipped for your culinary adventures. Chef's kitchens are the ultimate in luxury for any budding cook. Technological advances in luxury kitchen design mean that creating a professional or gourmet kitchen is even easier to achieve than ever before. 

A good kitchen designer will be able to come up with solutions for the smallest of spaces, but if you are considering structural work, it is worth consulting an experienced architect. 

When choosing kitchen lighting, you will need to include task, mood and feature lighting. Task lighting is the most practical and covers hardworking areas like the prep space, cooking area and the sink; mood lighting creates different atmospheres and feature lighting is eye-catching and can simply introduce a bit of ambiance – perfect for entertaining in your luxury kitchen.  

8. Keep it classical with a pure white kitchen

There’s nothing crisper than a pure white kitchen; whether that’s a high gloss design or a traditional country one, it’s a look that lasts, no matter what the latest kitchen trend may be. If you’re minimalist at heart and love fuss-free luxury kitchen ideas then this is the look for you.

Beautiful craftsmanship and simple lines are the hallmarks of a luxury white kitchen idea. ‘White has become a popular choice for classical designs. It makes cabinetry look very crisp and sophisticated and the space feels instantly brighter yet also very calming,’ says Stephanie Dedes, design and marketing manager at Charles Yorke’s Pirbright showroom. 

9. Focus on the details 

(Image credit: Michael Sinclair)

Now found on glass, sinks, backsplashes and kitchen cabinet ideas, ribbed surfaces are making waves in luxury kitchen design. In contemporary settings, fluted patterns can be used to provide 3D interest – just enough to add character, while retaining the simplicity required to work in modern designs.  

‘Fluted surfaces catch the light, creating deep shadows and texture within a room, and are particularly effective when set against a simple white space,’ agrees Stuart Piercy, founding director, Piercy&Company.

‘In natural solid materials, like the American black walnut and Calacatta Crema marble backsplashes' used in this luxury kitchen for the BBC Television Centre residential redevelopment in west London, fluting reveals the beautiful grain pattern and vein running through the core. It is an intriguing detail with wonderful depth.’

10. Elevate your backsplash with a modern metal finish

High-shine finishes are causing a stir in the luxury kitchen space. There’s no greater example of how luxury kitchen ideas and interior design have become intertwined than with metal backsplash ideas. Think wonderfully warm copper to cool steel backsplash ideas for kitchens and kitchen countertop ideas.

Custom fabricated metallic surfaces can be welded or soldered at the corners to eliminate bacteria-attracting joints. In this luxury kitchen, deVOL used aged copper on the backsplash, worktop and integrated sink for a seamless installation. ‘Copper has amazing antibacterial properties, too, which makes it hygienic. It looks chic and glamorous, yet can kill pathogens in minutes,’ says creative director Helen Parker.

What makes a kitchen look luxury?

There are many ways to make your kitchen look luxury. Given that the major purchases in a kitchen are usually the cabinetry, the appliances and furniture, it can be easy to overlook the power of paint and pattern. And yet floor and wall finishes, beautifully lit, can provide some of the most exciting ways to enhance your luxury kitchen. While a simple coat of fresh paint, a dramatic new floor or a statement backsplash can transform an existing room into a luxurious space.  

Finally, we recommend investing in modern materials that will stand the test of time. For true luxury and opulence, go for polished marble. 'Beautiful to look at and cool to touch, marble is highly desirable. ‘It’s one of our favorite countertop options,’ says Claire Birkbeck, kitchen designer at Neptune. 

What does every luxury kitchen need?

Every luxury kitchen should be kitted out with the best kitchen appliances. Appliances are amongst the most used components of a kitchen, and can elevate both the room’s design, functionality and sense of luxury.

As one of the most essential appliances in the kitchen, it’s important that your oven meets the requirements of your family. However, there is no need to compromise on style. Particularly for bigger households, mealtimes can be a little testing, so consider making cooking easier by investing in a state-of-the-art double oven.

Each of the alternatives that are presented in the article can be safely implemented in your home. nine0005

Luxurious kitchen

This kitchen is presented in light colors, not only the walls but also the floor. A lot of cabinets that lined up in one line are just a godsend for lovers of large storage space. But this is the only classic feature of such a kitchen. Chairs with dark bases in a futuristic style will help emphasize the unusualness of this interior.

It is also present in the glass staircase that leads to the second floor.

Like in the movie

Remember the movie about the house with 13 bedrooms? The style of each of them is reflected in the beautiful interior of the kitchen. All this is slightly diluted with a neutral red color, which, in combination with woven lamps, creates an atmosphere of peace and comfort.

Some of the items that were considered classics are slightly repurposed in this variant. So, for example, a pizza oven can be used not only for its intended purpose, but also as a place to store some products. nine0005

Entertainment kitchen

Sleek cabinet surfaces, a centrally located breakfast bar that resembles an island girded with white and black lines, make the kitchen not just a place for cooking and eating, but also a space for pleasant conversation.

Sturdy and simple wood flooring is the basis for decorating your rustic home galley. Light original furniture , on the bottom of which there are a lot of small cabinets, as well as chairs and a table made of wicker, will help to create the impression of a morning in the countryside.

Birds Eye Veiw Kitchen

A horseshoe-shaped island will be an unexpected element of the interior and will be the centerpiece of the design. Dark wood cabinetry and flooring create a stark contrast to the peach colored marble countertops. nine0005

Large windows will be a great source of natural light and, in company with snow-white hanging shelves, will add a little lightness to the room. And modern stainless steel appliances and a chrome-plated faucet harmoniously complete the composition.

Eating and cooking arch

This is a great way to divide the space into work and dining areas. The wide arch and columns in the window decoration add royal luxury and a slight touch of monumentality to the design. A stylish island made of mahogany will become a bright accent of the room and will attract the attention of the viewer. nine0005

Traditional wardrobes, simple wooden furniture, light floors and tablecloths soften and balance the interior.

Natural wood kitchen

Even a brick fireplace could not do without such a finish. The beamed oak ceiling and carved lacquered pine furniture complement each other perfectly. The brown marble countertop seems to be disguised as a general design, while black spots in the form of a plasma TV, hob and accessories add great interior rooms a bit of contrast.

Fully stocked kitchen

Rustic kitchen design

Solid log beams, low ceilings and compact space give the room a traditional rustic feel. Pale wooden cabinets, chairs with bright upholstery and a large number of accessories only emphasize the tenderness of the design.

This is just the perfect place to hang out with a friend over a cup of coffee, as kitchen interior design project resembles a small French restaurant.

Advance style home galley

Ideal for an upscale mansion. A stunning combination of chocolate shades and onyx in the design makes it unique in nature. Soft colors, matte surfaces, neatness and strict minimalism of this room are skillfully complemented by pale blue curtains and snow-white furniture in the breakfast nook. We see a smooth transition from dark to lighter shades, which is a kind of delimiter between the working and dining areas. nine0005

Bright and bold

Great kitchen design on the top floor. Your neighbors will just die of envy! Here we see a harmonious combination of three areas. A cozy living room transforms into a dining room, and then smoothly flows into your home galley.

This is the perfect example of clean space organization. The range of all rooms is designed in soft pastel shades. A little liveliness and colors are given by unusual decorative pillows, a beautiful carpet and pots with exotic flowers and corals.

The luxury and chic of impressionism

An interesting combination of an L-shaped set and a long island. But attention should be focused on furniture. Mahogany, metal tables and simply incredible upholstered chairs evoke thoughts of royal castles and majestic interiors.

Renaissance

The traditional tricolor of black, white and red will never go out of style. Here we see the usual English design of the late 50s. This can be seen from the classic chess tiles, massive dark wood table and leather chairs. This design with a touch of antiquity will awaken in you a feeling of home comfort and coziness.

Gentle French Bite

Ideal for large open spaces. Glittering red acrylic countertops are softened by a simple white-painted set. The stark mosaic on the ceiling is eye-catching and accentuates the decadent framing of the bronze chandeliers. nine0005

Painted porcelain plates add rustic charm to luxurious interior design. Here one is drawn to taste all the delights of seductive French cuisine.

A little vintage

Chic in simplicity. This is how this project can be described. The ceiling of solid logs and natural wood beams gives the room the feel of an old house in a poor area of ​​England. While expensive carved exclusive furniture and a rich Venetian glass chandelier prove otherwise.
