Design inspiration: Five luxury kitchens

April 6, 2016 By Rachel Newcombe 1 Comment

Contemporary Kitchen by South West Kitchen Designers & Remodelers Hobsons Choice

The kitchen is such an important room in all of our homes. Not only do we throw together all of our meals here, but it’s often a hub for family life – where we cook, eat and chat together.

Let’s face it, it’s also the room that many of us would love to upgrade. Whether it’s top of the range gadgets and appliances or the sort of high end interiors featured on How To Spend It many of us dream of going bigger and better in the kitchen.

Let us go through the keyhole into five homes that can serve as great inspiration for your dream kitchen.

Aldo Zilli

Celebrity chef Aldo Zilli was forced to wait eight months to finish his £1 million dream kitchen, such was the waiting list for the bespoke design work that went into the room.

The ‘Fiore di Cristallo’ room features a £26,400 Swarovski Crystal chandelier – which illuminates the £36,850 crystal island centerpiece – as well as solid copper walls, a £5,000 fridge, £6,850 stone worktop and handcrafted German appliance from Gaggenau.

The Mayfair kitchen was crafted by design guru Claudio Celiberti.

Mr Zilli said: “As far as I am concerned this kitchen, the ‘Fiore di Cristallo,’ to me is the equivalent of a kilo of white truffles on my pasta. In other words, Claudio has combined innovative design with functionality faultlessly. This is ultimate luxury at its best.”

Ellen De Generes

US TV personality Ellen De Generes shares a stunning ranch in the Santa Monica mountains of California with partner Portia De Rossi – and the kitchen matches the luxury of the property.

An Italian industrial light fitting hangs above a beautiful antique bluestone table in a room that manages to embrace the traditional equestrian look to the property and deliver a homely kitchen/diner.

19th century American Windsor chairs and a Danish lounge chair help set the mood for a relaxing room.

Lady Gaga

You might expect pop’s queen of the weird and wonderful to have a fairly bizarre kitchen and home to match her eclectic image. Yet you’d be wrong.

Gaga’s Malibu home is classy and traditional, with a top of the range kitchen to match. Its style is a masterclass in how to match chrome, stainless steel, brown and cream in a classy, understated way. Plenty of people get this wrong, but not Gaga.

Steven Klar

Long Island developer Steven Klar may not be a famous face like those above, but his kitchen easily matches those two.

His kitchen is stocked with two sub-zero refrigerators, two Bosch dishwashers, butler’s pantry (or secondary kitchen!) a Scotsman ice maker and a six-burner commercial grade Russell range which features a barbecue that vents outside.

Interestingly he doesn’t cook himself in this kitchen – but it’s a must-have asset and means that he can get in a professional chef to cook from here when he’s entertaining – another burgeoning trend among those in luxury homes and apartments. If you’re going to get in a pro, they’ll need the right equipment after all.

Colosseo Oro

This isn’t an individual’s home as such, more a limited edition installation. There are just 10 available and each features ‘24 carat gold leafing, crocodile embossed leather, Venetian ink-stained gold glass and Sub-Zero & Wolf appliances’ – with those appliances costing £55,000 alone. The look is topped off by Swarovski crystal lights. The whole thing has been designed for those who like to entertain – and impress their guests.

Designer Paul Marazzi said: “I feel a kitchen should have a soul and presence, transforming the room into an emotional experience, a celebration of family life and convivial living, transcending the kitchen into the heart and soul of the home”.

Whose kitchen would you most like to have?

    They are all so cool, I think one of the things I would love about being a celebrity would be having the dream house.
