10 E R A D I S T I N C T I V E P R O P E R T I E S L U X E C O R N E R S T Y L E A N D S U B S T A N C E Incorporate an al fresco element Creating an indoor/outdoor kitchen space is one of the most luxurious ways to upgrade your home. By bringing the outside in, you harmonize the various elements of your house and foster a more integrated environment (while also adding an abundance of additional space and light). There are many different ways to achieve this effect - from the simplicity of a wall-mounted open-air bar beneath an outswing window to grander designs including fully retractable walls and specialty outdoor appliances. Indoor/ outdoor kitchens don’t need to be confined to warm-weather climates, either; greenhouse kitchen additions with floor-to-ceiling windows enable you to enjoy the sensation of being outdoors even when it’s chilly outside. Consider a second kitchen Often called “dirty kitchens,” second kitchens are a popular trend among luxury homeowners. These spaces, while smaller than main kitchens, are fully equipped with everything home cooks or caterers need to prepare a magnificent meal - without making the main space messy. They provide a perfect solution to serious cooks and entertainers who like to get their hands dirty while still maintaining a neat, streamlined and guest-friendly atmosphere in the kitchen. Today’s kitchen is so much more than just a place to eat; it’s a social and emotional hub where gathering is welcomed, and shared experiences are encouraged. You’ll never regret investing effort and energy into making your kitchen the centerpiece of your home.
