Cabinets & Average Cost
When remodeling a kitchen, most homeowners begin with their kitchen cabinets. After all, cabinets significantly impact the kitchen's overall first impression. Those that are dated or damaged can leave future buyers underwhelmed, even if the kitchen has immense potential.
​
-
Pre-made, stock - products are affordable at a cost between $150 and $280 per linear foot. They are readily available but are limited in designs and sizes.
-
Semi-custom - options run between $300 and $375 per linear foot and are made in the same sizes as pre-made options. These cabinets can be detailed for an additional fee, and options include door fronts, resizing drawers, and cabinet depth.
-
Custom cabinets - can cost up to $500+ per linear foot, and this option requires a skilled cabinetmaker. This is by far the most expensive option, but you can design them any way you want them to look.
Countertops & installation service
Another common renovation is installing new countertops. The cost to do so varies widely, depending on the materials used and the total measures required. When choosing a material, it is important to consider not only the look of the countertop but also its level of functionality.
As you would expect, seamless materials, such as granite, are more durable and more costly. In comparison, you can opt for materials that add less value, such as concrete, to keep your costs down. Whether you choose wood, marble, quartz, or limestone, you can expect to pay an average rate between $2,000 and $4,500 to install the countertops of your choosing.

Kitchen Lighting
Lighting design is critical
When you walk into a luxury home many things will catch your eye. From deep mahogany hardwood furnishings to high end custom kitchen cabinetry, you know luxury when you see it. Luxury Kitchens are enhanced with proper lighting.
​
The way that you lay out your lighting in a kitchen is critical to make a place in your home that can be used for multiple uses. If you are like many families, you will spend much of your time in the kitchen area. The kitchen becomes a place to do homework for the kids, a place for casual conversation over tea with friends, and a place for a romantic evening with your spouse.
So, the importance of lighting design in the kitchen is just as important as in your living room area. Many types of lighting can be used in the kitchen to make the kitchen look more appealing
​
These kitchen lighting ideas will transform a kitchen from drab to electrifying. There are several categories of kitchen lighting that should be considered when designing a luxury kitchen.
​
-
Recessed ceiling lights- are simple and elegant. The recessed ceiling lights can be arranged in just about any pattern... Just be careful to distribute these ceiling lights evenly so that the whole kitchen receives equal lighting.
​
-
Non-recessed ceiling lights- are a less modern choice but can be elegant for traditional kitchens. Chandeliers are a popular choice for kitchens. Because they tend to dominate the open space, a chandelier’s style sets the tone for a room’s décor more than any other lighting fixture.
​
-
Pendant Lights- hang in the kitchen above an island workspace, tables, and counter. They add a major style element to the kitchen decor
​
-
Under Cabinet Lights- are now the norm for many kitchens. The extra light makes working on the counters easier. These lights also are great accent lights when no work is being done.
Kitchen Fixtures & Accessories
Style and Design
Let’s face it – style matters! The kitchen faucet & sink says a lot about a person’s personality. It should blend with and accentuate the look of your kitchen. Because of its prominent position, the faucet is often the pinnacle of kitchen design, with everything else falling in place around it. Here are some of the major faucet styles to consider.
​
The sink & faucet is one of the busiest tools in the kitchen. It’s vital for the daily tasks of prepping food, cooking, cleaning, and sanitizing. Of all the features in your kitchen, the sink & faucet is probably the ones that you interact with most.
Standing at center stage, the faucet is also one of the primary features of your kitchen’s style. Choosing the right fixture will not only enhance the functionality of the kitchen, but also serves as an expression of your individual taste. Telling a story of how the kitchen is used, your faucet will be a defining element of your home for years.
​
Finishes
One of the most important design considerations is the finish. Trends come and go, but some are timeless stand-bys. Brushed Gold or Matte Black can bring in some modernity. Or you can even go with an interesting 2-tone look like a Matte Black and Stainless-Steel mixed finish. A shiny Chrome can add a level of sophistication, while Spot-Free Stainless Steel makes cleaning easy by resisting water spots and fingerprints.
Hardware
No cooking space would look complete without appropriate cabinet hardware.
​
Hardware Types
Knowing what type of hardware you need before deciding on the design is important. Depending on what part of the kitchen we speak about, we can distinguish between three main types of hardware:
-
Knobs. They are great for cabinets, take little space, and are simple in design unless you opt for personalized designs;
-
Pulls. They are flexible enough to work both for cabinets and drawers, although taking slightly more space;
-
Cup pulls. Not that suitable for cabinets yet perfect for drawers, particularly if you want to emphasize specific kitchen areas.
-
Edge Pulls. New modern clean, barely-there design, Edge Pull offers up a fresh, minimal hardware style
​
Hardware Materials and Finishes
One more feature to tackle before design. The material and finish of your kitchen hardware depend much on the cabinet material and, of course, the kitchen design style. The unmatchable metal, wood, and glass hardware are some of the most popular.
In terms of metal hardware, note that brass, copper, and bronze are of great benefit to your kitchen due to their flexibly superfluous effect on the interior and their antimicrobial features, which work pretty well for the kitchen. Stainless steel is a perfect alternative for ultra-modern kitchens that embrace contemporary values.
