High-End Inclusions That Make the Difference
When it comes to designing a luxury kitchen, the difference is in the details. At Artform Kitchens, we create custom kitchens and bespoke joinery on the Central Coast that are both functional and beautiful, with high-end finishes that truly elevate the heart of the home.
Whether you’re renovating or building new, here’s what makes a kitchen feel luxurious – and why thoughtful design, premium craftsmanship and carefully chosen inclusions matter.
1. Premium Materials and Finishes
Luxury kitchens are built to last and made to impress. The materials used should not only look stunning but also feel refined and wear beautifully over time. These typically include:
Natural or engineered stone benchtops with a satin or matte finish
- Textured or timber-look cabinetry for warmth and depth
- 2-pack polyurethane doors for a smooth, seamless surface
- Elegant tapware in brushed, satin, or bold finishes
These elements work together to create a cohesive palette that’s sophisticated without feeling clinical.
2. Bespoke Joinery Tailored to Your Home
Luxury isn’t just about looks – it’s about fit. At Artform Kitchens, every cabinet, door, and panel is measured and built to suit your exact space and lifestyle. This means:
- Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry that maximises space
- Framed or routed door profiles for a timeless touch
- Custom bulkheads and shadowline finishes
- Hidden pantries or bar nooks that disappear into the design
- Joinery shaped around unique layouts and architectural features
There are no off-the-shelf sizes, filler panels, or shortcuts – just beautifully built cabinetry that works with your home, not against it.
3. Integrated Appliances and Seamless Design
Clean lines and minimal visual clutter are essential in a luxury kitchen. That’s why we often incorporate:
- Integrated dishwashers and fridges hidden behind cabinetry
- Undermount sinks and flush-mounted appliances
- Concealed rangehoods tucked into overhead joinery
- Pocket doors that hide coffee machines or toasters when not in use
- Coordinated materials that flow from benchtop to splashback to cabinetry
The result is a seamless, modern kitchen that looks calm and considered from every angle.
4. Smart Storage and High-Performance Hardware
A luxury kitchen should feel effortless to use. Premium storage and hardware make all the difference. We recommend:
- Soft-close drawers with full-extension runners
- Pull-out corner units to make the most of deep spaces
- Built-in bins and hidden recycling systems
- Pull-out pantries or adjustable internal shelving
- LED strip lighting inside cabinets and drawers for added visibility
These features may be hidden, but they make a visible difference in day-to-day functionality.
5. Statement Island Benchtops
The island is often the social centre of the kitchen, so it deserves to stand out. In a luxury design, this might include:
- Oversized stone benchtops with waterfall edges
- Benchtop build-ups for a dramatic, thick profile
- Seating that blends casual dining and conversation
- Feature cabinetry, open shelving or decorative panelling
It’s not just a workspace – it’s where connection, creativity and entertaining happens.
6. Hand-Finished Details That Elevate the Space
What sets a luxury kitchen apart is how it’s finished. At Artform Kitchens, we focus on details like:
- Decorative trims or capping for traditional designs
- Custom bulkheads that make joinery look built-in
- Proud kicks or custom plinths for a freestanding look
- Colour-matched internals for a seamless result
These finishing touches may seem small, but they give the whole kitchen a sense of polish and purpose.
7. Smart Technology Integration
Luxury kitchens should be as intuitive as they are beautiful. That’s why we often include:
- Sensor lighting that turns on as cupboards open
- Touch-free tapware and filtered water systems
- Hidden power points and charging stations
- WiFi-connected appliances with programmable features
- Electric-opening drawers or servo systems for ease of access
These additions create a future-proof kitchen that works with the rhythm of modern life.
