A luxury kitchen is more than just a space for cooking—it’s the heart of the home, a place for gathering, entertaining, and making memories. Whether you're planning a full-scale kitchen remodel or upgrading select elements, choosing the right high-end appliances and fixtures can elevate both the functionality and aesthetic of your space.
At Emory Construction, we specialize in luxury home remodels for discerning homeowners who demand the highest level of craftsmanship and quality. Our design expertise and hands-on project management ensure that every kitchen renovation we undertake is both visually stunning and highly practical.
Below, we’ve curated a list of 10 must-have appliances and fixtures that will transform your kitchen into a showpiece of modern convenience and timeless elegance.
1. Professional-Grade Range & Oven
A top-tier kitchen deserves a professional-grade range that delivers both power and precision. Brands like Wolf, Viking, and Thermador offer high-performance gas ranges with dual-stacked burners, infrared broilers, and smart technology for precise temperature control.
Why It Matters:
✔️ Superior heat distribution for even cooking
✔️ Enhanced durability and longevity
✔️ A statement piece that elevates the entire kitchen
2. Built-In Refrigerator with Custom Paneling
Luxury kitchens favor integrated refrigerators that blend seamlessly with cabinetry for a sleek, cohesive look. Sub-Zero and Miele refrigerators not only offer precise temperature control but also feature air purification systems that keep food fresher longer.
Why It Matters:
✔️ Enhances kitchen aesthetics with a seamless look
✔️ Advanced cooling technology preserves food quality
✔️ Customizable options for any kitchen layout
3. Smart Steam Oven for Healthier Cooking
For homeowners who value both efficiency and wellness, a smart steam oven is a game-changer. Brands like Miele and Gaggenau offer models that use steam and convection cooking to retain nutrients and flavors better than traditional baking or roasting.
Why It Matters:
✔️ Healthier meal preparation with less oil
✔️ Faster cooking times without sacrificing quality
✔️ Smart connectivity for remote operation
4. High-End Quartz or Marble Countertops
Countertops define the luxury and durability of a kitchen. Calacatta marble and quartz from brands like Cambria or Silestone offer striking aesthetics with high resistance to stains and scratches.
Why It Matters:
✔️ Timeless, high-end appearance
✔️ Resistant to heat, stains, and bacteria
✔️ Low maintenance and easy to clean
5. Custom Cabinetry with Soft-Close Drawers
Bespoke cabinetry is a signature element of luxury kitchens. Custom-built, soft-close cabinets provide optimal storage, durability, and elegant aesthetics while reducing noise and wear over time.
Why It Matters:
✔️ Maximized storage efficiency with tailored designs
✔️ No slamming drawers or unnecessary wear
✔️ Adds significant resale value to the home
6. Statement Lighting: Pendant & Under-Cabinet LED Lighting
Luxury kitchens require layered lighting to enhance ambiance and functionality. Hand-blown glass pendant lights over an island or under-cabinet LED lighting adds both style and practicality to the space.
Why It Matters:
✔️ Creates a warm, inviting atmosphere
✔️ Enhances task visibility for cooking and prep
✔️ Adds a refined design element
7. Touchless Smart Faucet
For a perfect blend of technology and convenience, install a touchless faucet like the Kohler Sensate or Delta Trinsic VoiceIQ. These faucets allow hands-free operation, reducing the spread of germs and making kitchen tasks easier.
Why It Matters:
✔️ Increases kitchen hygiene
✔️ Conserves water with automatic shut-off features
✔️ Adds a sleek, modern aesthetic
8. Hidden or Panel-Ready Dishwasher
Luxury kitchens prioritize seamless design, and panel-ready dishwashers from brands like Bosch Benchmark or Miele integrate discreetly with cabinetry for an elegant, uninterrupted look.
Why It Matters:
✔️ Minimizes visual clutter
✔️ Operates with near-silent noise levels
✔️ Superior cleaning and drying technology
9. Built-In Coffee Station
For coffee lovers, a built-in espresso machine like those from Miele or Jura ensures barista-quality coffee at the push of a button. These machines integrate into cabinetry for a seamless, high-end touch.
Why It Matters:
✔️ Fresh, high-quality coffee at home
✔️ Saves counter space compared to traditional machines
✔️ Enhances the overall luxury kitchen experience
10. Luxury Wine Storage or Beverage Center
A built-in wine fridge or beverage center is the ultimate finishing touch for a luxury kitchen. High-end options from Sub-Zero, Perlick, or True Residential provide precise temperature control to keep wine and drinks at the perfect temperature.
Why It Matters:
✔️ Protects valuable wine collections from heat and light
✔️ Offers designated storage for entertaining
✔️ Elevates the kitchen’s overall design and function
