Kitchens are a crucial part of the best homes in the world and that is why we always recommend a designer to help you iron out the best elements and details to make it truly stand out. There are certain elements in the modern design world that bring out the oomph in kitchens and they involve fine finishes, details and materials. We have some recommendations for how you can take your kitchen into extraordinary territory and they include small and large details alike.  However, if you prefer to work out all the little details with true professionals you can just give Vida a call today and set up your consultation. Our designers will plan out every bit of your kitchen and iron out all the details so that you have something different in your home. 

Layout

A successful luxury handcrafted kitchen begins with a world class layout.  Depending on the space your home has for a kitchen or two there are different options.  If your home has a more open layout a nice large island to divide the space works well to keep the space open but also define the boundaries so that activities do not spill over. An island can also be the contrasting piece, with a different well balanced color to that of the rest of the kitchen to make it truly pop. 

If your kitchen is on the smaller side, the layout will need to maximize utility and cabinet space as well as countertop space without sacrificing too much open area, the last thing we want is to crowd out the kitchen.  In both situations a custom hand crafted kitchen is necessary to maximize the benefits and truly showcase a masterpiece.  With carefully crafted panels, fitted sized cabinets that can run up all the way to the top of your high ceilings, luxury custom cabinets can change the rules of the kitchen design game.  You are no longer limited by anything except your imagination or the imagination of our designers which are leaders in the industry and aware of the latest and greatest trends. 

Of course layout also matters if your kitchen is neither small nor large.  In a medium sized kitchen there are definitely more options to play around and experiment with the layout than in the small, but perhaps a peninsula would make more sense or even a built-in pantry cabinet.  The world is your oyster but make sure to focus keenly on the layout as it defines the kitchen space and is a basis for your custom high end kitchen. 

Colors 

From the wall finish to the wood type, to the color finish on your cabinets, the color combination can redefine the way that your kitchen appeals to everyone from guests to the residents.  Combining more unique and bold colors is a staple of novel design and at Vida our designers know that the most beautiful kitchens are built when color is used appropriately.  Colors elicit emotions and your luxury cabinetry can too.  Whether you want a calm and heart-warming kitchen or a bold capitalist statement your cabinetry color combination says a lot about you.  This also extends beyond the kitchen into the living room decor and bathrooms as well.  Cabinets are not only for kitchens any more after all.  

Contrast colors are a game changer especially once you decide to have upper cabinets and lower cabinets of different shades or even of wildly different colors.  This works really well in modern style cabinets as classic and traditional styles are better in uniform colors.  In classic kitchens feel free to experiment with a wide assortment of color combinations as you try to pair them with potential countertop finishes.   Keep in mind that your wall color is a crucial aspect to making your luxury handmade cabinetry pop and wow your guests.  Our amazing designers can take you through this process and we can even curate beautiful 3d visualizations for you.
