From custom cabinetry to one-of-a-kind backsplashes, homeowners today want kitchens that combine function and beauty. A luxury kitchen is often the showpiece of a modern home, but just what does “luxury” mean? The truth is, there’s no one definition of what makes a luxury kitchen. Here are 3 of the top must-haves most interior designers agree are necessary for creating a seamless, luxurious space where form follows function.

The kitchen desk was once a revolutionary idea where homeowners envisioned themselves working, making grocery lists, organizing recipes, or planning the week ahead. This trend became a staple in most new homes built in the 80s and 90s; however, for most, it turned into an inefficient use of space where clutter took precedence. The kitchen is the heart of the home, and as our lifestyles have changed, so too do our needs and designs. Here are a few innovative ways to repurpose the kitchen desk for a more contemporary lifestyle.
