_ **Layered Lighting Design** _ Lighting is an integral part of successful kitchen design. Avoid a garish ceiling full of spotlights and build up your lighting via wall lights, statement pendants over an island, and even freestanding corner lamps. The right lighting should include functional ceiling lighting, decorative lighting and atmospheric lighting. For pantries and large cabinets, install lighting that is run off a sensor for practicality and energy efficiency. _ **Luxe Fixtures and Hardware** _ Hardware can make or break a kitchen High-end, bespoke cabinetry can be ruined by applying lightweight, poor-quality hardware. Look to install drawer pulls, cabinet knobs and door handles made from real brass with an elegant, modern design. Some of my favourite hardware suppliers include Corston Architectural Detail, Matilda Goad and Armac Martin. ![marble and stainless steel kitchen](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56e579b545bf2119aa58e055/56d3d0a8-0926-4128-adde-2c5e5fee1b2a/Naked+Kitchens%2C+Chester+Row+Kitchen%2C+8014677.jpg) Feature-rich faucets (such as touchless operation and boiling water taps with water filtration systems) add convenience. A pot filler over your hobs will make filling large saucepans easy. You can also add in fizzy water taps or extractor fans that are integrated within the workspace. ### Customisation Personalisation is at the heart of luxury. Consider opting out of mass-market solutions for something more bespoke. Custom cabinetry with ‘hats’ and curved detailing, unique freestanding islands and personalised storage solutions can create a tailored kitchen. Some of the most successful luxury kitchen designs include thrifted furniture: old apothecary cabinets turned into islands and vintage wall cabinets hung in place of matching base units. ![](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56e579b545bf2119aa58e055/64f92288-839f-4f2a-a984-804740ca9498/cupboard+hat.png) For something more modern, consider a wine fridge a built-in espresso machine for your morning caffeine ritual, or hidden charging stations for your gadgets to make your kitchen feel like it was designed just for you.x ---
