Whether you want to go for a contemporary, modern or traditional look with your kitchen remodeling, there are countless features available for you to choose from to give your kitchen the high-end luxurious look. Some of the must-have features you may want to consider include:

 

1. Blended lighting

 

Lighting in places beyond your ceiling can be really effective in invoking a certain mood and charm to your kitchen.  Consider light fixtures in inside, under or above cabinets, underneath bars, and LED strip lights lining your cabinet kickboards; such lights blend seamlessly into your kitchen design, and not a single light looks out of place.  A high-end kitchen designer can carefully consider the placement and benefit of each and every piece of lighting.

 

2. Recycling system

This multi-functioning system serves as a means to effectively handle your different wastes such as plastics, glass, cans and other domestic garbage. This systems technology helps you to keep track of how much debris is contained in its compartments and can also alert you when it’s time for you to unload and take to the proper recycling channels.

 

3. Beverage Bar

If you often find yourself entertaining guests, or simply prefer a tipple yourself in the evening or at weekends, why not indulge in a beverage bar?  With a beverage station, customized to fit into your current space, you can include beverages such as coffee, tea, soda, juices, alcohol, and any other beverage your family loves.  The space can be custom designed to include the exact storage space you need, and nothing more.

 

4. Countertops made of exotic wood
