Now We’re Cooking:where to splurge in kitchen design

When designing a kitchen, knowing where to splurge can make a significant difference in both functionality and aesthetics. High-quality appliances, for instance, can enhance your cooking experience and last much longer, making them a worthy investment. Here are our top recommendations on where to splurge when it comes to designing your kitchen.

Cabinets: Custom or semi-custom cabinets, made from solid wood or high-grade engineered materials, can transform your kitchen's storage capabilities and visual appeal. Quality cabinetry ensures smooth operation, ample storage, and a cohesive design that withstands the test of time. Features such as soft-close hinges, pull-out shelves, and deep drawers enhance functionality and make everyday kitchen tasks more efficient.


Appliances: Modern, energy-efficient appliances not only contribute to a sleek and stylish kitchen design but also offer advanced functionalities that simplify cooking and meal preparation. The initial investment in high-quality appliances pays off through improved performance, longevity, and sustainability, making them a wise choice for any household.

Countertops: Durable materials like granite, quartz, or marble not only add a luxurious touch but also withstand the wear and tear of everyday use. These surfaces withstand daily wear and tear, making them a practical choice for avid cooks. These materials are easy to clean and maintain, ensuring your kitchen remains beautiful for years to come.

Ultimately, the initial investment in high-quality appliances pays off through improved performance, longevity, and sustainability, making them a wise choice for any household. By thoughtfully allocating your budget to these key areas, you can create a kitchen that is not only visually stunning but also highly practical and enjoyable to use.
