We have a lot of clients show us pictures they have found on Instagram and Pinterest of spaces that inspire them. These are the pictures that inspire us to dig deeper into the details of the design to point out to our clients what makes this design so good.
Most of the luxury homes that get lots of looks on the internet are luxurious for a reason. The homeowners didn’t spare expenses on the details, and those little details are what make the design.
Let’s review the top seven design details that make this space…
This beautiful kitchen designed by one of our favorite studios, Pure Salt Interiors, is a beautiful example of lots of high-end finishes and selections coming together to make one stunning kitchen. Let’s take a closer look…

1. two-tone cabinetry
Not only does this add a lot of visual interest to a space, the selection of stained wood kicks this cabinetry up a notch. Stained wood is generally more expensive and therefore is found in fewer kitchens, which makes it more unique and coveted.
2. natural stone countertops
Although there are some beautiful options out there for manufactured stone surfaces, nothing beats the organic lines of real stone. To showcase the stone even further, they brought it up the wall and used it for a backsplash. I love the ledge they added that allows for a couple small, unexpected accessories to embellish the look of the kitchen.
3. neutral tile
In addition to the natural stone backsplash, the designers also added tile all the way up to the ceiling. This neutral tile adds gorgeous texture to the wall without it being too much.
4. frameless cabinetry
This is always a splurge but always worth it in my opinion. The look of frameless cabinetry screams ‘elevated’ because it looks like furniture.
5. high-end appliances
High-end appliances instantly elevate a kitchen. Whether they have brass, chrome, or stainless accents — eyes are drawn to the shine. This is what makes the appliances feel like the jewelry of the kitchen. A great spot to flex — especially on the range — because the range and hood combo is typically one of the best focal points in a kitchen.
6. upholstered counter stools
Not great for cleaning, but definitely great to add some texture to a kitchen and soften up a space full of hard surfaces. If opting for upholstered seating, it is really important to choose performance fabrics that clean up easily to keep them looking new.
7. black framed windows and doors
This is definitely a hot trend right now, and I am here for it. I love the black, modern, clean lines that show off the windows and draw your eyes to the natural light.
I could keep going… the hardware, the plumbing fixtures, the window coverings, the vintage rug, the lighting. It is all so good. And so thoughtful.
A kitchen like this isn’t designed overnight. The hours involved in sourcing just the right finishes for a luxury kitchen (or any luxury space for that matter) are what make the difference. These are the details designers love to put together — and the ones most homeowners don’t have the time or the eye to source themselves.
