A Bel Air Kitchen Design Can Be As Luxurious As Your Imagination Allows

By Kimberly Brooks


Kitchens can get outdated and tired looking after a few years. Renovating them can be expensive, and a lot of people put the job off. Even when they decide to make changes, most have budget restraints that limit what they are able to accomplish. Residents in posh zip codes often can, and do, renovate in style. They might tear out the whole room and completely redesign the space. A Bel Air kitchen design is often luxurious and unique.

If you are starting from scratch, choosing a layout is a good first step. You have three basic options. Some large homes and estates have guest houses with fully equipped kitchens. These are more likely to lend themselves to a galley design than main house kitchens. Galleys consist of an aisle between two walls and can be outfitted with high end appliances, sleek counter tops, and natural wood to enhance what would otherwise be a utilitarian room.

L shaped kitchens give you a lot more to work with. There is room for a workspace island. The cooking and prep are normally at an angle, which gives designers opportunities to create unique spaces. L shaped kitchens have room for plenty of storage.

The layout most people prefer today is U shaped. You have three walls to give you lots of room for cooking, preparation, and clean up. Islands can be as elaborate as you choose with sinks, storage, and cooking surfaces. This is the layout that lends itself best to open living space designs. Adding bars, wine caves, and butler's pantries to adjoining areas is popular.

When it comes to appliances and accessories, the sky's the limit when you have unlimited funds and a good imagination. You can have double and triple sinks, ranges with multiple burners, and convection and double ovens. Sub-zero refrigerators with double doors, French doors, or paneled doors are all popular. You can hide the refrigerator completely if that is to your taste.

You might consider installing a coffee bar in your renovated eating area. You will need at least one high end coffee pot, a pour over tool, expresso machine, and French press. You can order exclusive coffee beans from all over the world, and might need a special cabinet to hold them all. Adding a cafe' table and chairs to a cozy corner makes reaching for that second and third cup an easy task.

A great addition to the kitchen area, especially for those who love entertaining in this room, is a brick oven. You can involve your guests in the process of making bread, pizza, and rolls. The aroma from the oven will fill the house and have everyone crowding around the room to get a slice of your homemade wares.

The kitchen is the heart of any home. This is where friends and family gather, and cooks entertain. A luxurious renovation is worth the cost when this is where everyone spends their time.
