Kitchen Concepts

KITCHEN CONCEPTS: 

Picture this: you are working with our luxury home architectural design team and designing your dream kitchen! In front of you are different kitchen concepts with various layout options and style concepts. While the process may seem overwhelming, our luxury design team is here to make the process as smooth as possible! 

While we have said it before, the kitchen is the heart of the home, and a place where people gather for meals and to socialize. Whether you are starting on a new build or remodeling your existing kitchen, you have the opportunity to add the new appliance that you have always wanted or have two kitchen islands. 

Kitchen Layout Options:

Starting with layout options, our custom home designers have seen them all! Different options include a U-shape, L-shape, One wall, Galley, and more. As you design your kitchen layout, one factor to think about is functionality. Is this design practical? Will it fit your lifestyle and needs? If you are someone who enjoys cooking, having extra space for food preparation is a must. With a large island like the one below, you will have ample space and can have appliances sitting out without feeling as though there is clutter. A large island also means more room for extra seating! As well as increasing the storage space in the kitchen is a benefit so you can hide non-essential cooking items. Layout matters! Optimize your workflow in the kitchen so you can still create those wonderful dishes!

Below is an example of a U-shape kitchen layout concept!

Contin uing with layout options, if space allows, our Arizona architectural designers encourage you to consider adding a butler’s pantry. This can double as a food preparation area and extra space for appliances and storage. With the extra space, you can combine the bar area to be hidden.  

 

The Royal Chateau Remodel

The Royal Chateau Remodel pantry has extra storage space and a food preparation center.

 

While you consider your multiple different layout options, one factor to consider is incorporating your style into the design. Do you want your home and kitchen to be modern, transitional, old-world, or one of the many other styles? In the early process of designing your home plans, style is important because it will give you a better idea of the size, look, and feel of areas of your home.
