Creating a Modern Luxury Kitchen on a Budget

Creating a Modern Luxury Kitchen on a Budget

You don’t need to break the bank to create a kitchen that oozes modern luxury. 

With our brand new selection selection of beautiful ranges, colours and finishes you can create a luxurious mix and match look that won't break the bank. Here's how to do it:

1. Mix and match colours

Mixing dark tones with lighter, warmer tones creates a space that not only oozes luxury, but feels warm and welcoming too. Dark cabinets may seem like a brave choice, but when paired with light and warm tones, they create a seamless design. Take a look at how our rich brown tones of Burnt Umber are complimented by the warming tones of Highland Stone and Farmhouse Oak.

2. Use our new laminate worktops

The kitchen worktop you choose can have a big impact on the overall look of your modern kitchen. Stone and marble effect worktops are perfect for creating a luxury look and complementing other tones. Our new range Milano will allow you to create this look at a fraction of the cost of a solid surface. This can allow you to invest more in other elements of your kitchen such as beautiful storage solutions.

3. Integrate modern kitchen storage

Modern storage options can assist in the overall look of your kitchen’s design. After all, what’s inside your kitchen is just as important as what's on the outside. We offer a wide selection of kitchen storage solutions designed to blend seamlessly with modern kitchens. Our LineaPlus drawers are the widest and deepest drawers on the market and offer 30% more storage space compared to standard cupboards.

4. Make a statement with an island

Make a statement with a kitchen island by using two different finishes. Opt for a stone or marble effect with our new range Milano, and then add warmth by using a wood finish from our new range Ligna at the seating area.

5. Use metallic accents

Metallic accents can give a kitchen that wow factor and set your kitchen apart from the rest. Further enhance your kitchen’s modern luxury look by using our new range Metalix. Introduce subtle hints of metal in your handlerails or create a show-stopping feature with a kitchen splashback to truly add a touch of glamour to your space.

6. Use open shelving

Open Shelving can help create a social, welcoming feel to your modern luxury kitchen. Alternatively, you could opt for a more dramatic look and incorporate a splashback behind the shelves. Our new wood effect range Ligna is perfect for adding a warm open shelving feature.
