It’s time to get rid of those hand-me-down pots and mismatched pans for a more streamlined look. We love how this all-black kitchen design incorporates matte-black cookware to match, giving this entire space a cohesive feel. While most backsplash designs only make it to the first shelf or upper cabinet, this kitchen proves that the right tile can reach new heights. Rather than install a backsplash halfway up your walls, maximize its potential and run it all the way up to the ceiling.
Keep your kitchen light and airy with a neutral color palette or soft pastel hues. Use an accent color in your kitchen island and carry the color throughout the kitchen to liven up the space. Sophisticated lighting systems, spacious islands with ample seating, and walk-in pantries for optimal storage are hallmark luxury design features. Together, these aspects create an inviting atmosphere that makes a luxury kitchen much more than just a place to prepare meals. It’s a central hub for entertainment and a statement of personal style. This is a trend that really flows seamlessly with a variety of kitchen aesthetics.

Katherine Carter went with a dark gray choice in this Pacific Palisades home, but other selections include traditional white, black, or even a statement color like pink. Never one to shy away from color, Danielle Nagel of Dazey Den makes a case for rethinking the all-white kitchen. Choose your favorite color and decorate in tones, shades, and tints of that hue for a one-of-a-kind room. Colors that sit opposite each other on the color wheel give a room a dynamic feel. Whittney Parkinson Design used this color theory to bring in opposite shades of blue and copper and add some visual excitement to the space.
Modern Statement Backsplash
Brick flooring is a surprising contrast to classic elements and modern acrylic chairs in this traditional kitchen.

A crystal Sputnik chandelier and lacquered flat kitchen cabinets add a touch of retro glam to this midcentury modern-inspired space.
