Life in the Upper West Side of Manhattan is about sophistication and luxury. If you are seeking an Upper West Side luxury condo, your kitchen will play a key role in the overall look and design of your new home. Whether you cook or not, your kitchen has to provide a chic and elegant style that adds to the stunning design of your luxurious surroundings. Here are the must haves for your Upper West Side luxury condo kitchen:
High End Appliances
Even if you will never do more than open the door of your fridge to get ice for your evening martinis, a high end kitchen must have high end appliances. For the gourmet kitchen a Viking industrial cooktop and two Viking wall ovens will provide everything you need to cook sumptuous meals. If you don’t cook they will make it look like you can but choose not to. An integrated Sub-Zero fridge maintains a clean seamless look and a Viking stainless steel dishwasher is ideal for entertaining.
Well-Appointed Surfaces
Kitchens are all about surfaces. You want the elegance of natural stone and white statuary marble is the epitome of elegance ideal for countertops and backsplashes in solid slab design. Wood floors are a must, but away from the standard deep, rich floors of mass produced apartments. Instead, wide plank, light woods in a herringbone pattern provides attention to detail to anchor your stunning kitchen.
White and Wonderful
The white kitchen is both contemporary and classic which allows you to go with a design style leaning either way. Open concept layouts leave your kitchen exposed to scrutiny and having a kitchen with a more neutral design will allow you to complete your home without your kitchen breaking up the flow.
Inspired Island
An island provides a central area for guests to gather while you whip up a gourmet meal or shake a martini or two. Waterfall countertops create islands that feel more like elegant pieces of furniture. A combination of dark walnut and white statuary marble enhances the neutral white palette.
Custom Cabinets
The look of custom cabinets is a must and looking for cabinet details such as glass doors to break up the monotony and provide an area to display your best dishes as well as large pantry style storage and drawers as opposed to the standard mass produced wall of multiple cabinet doors provides clean sophistication to complete the look of your Upper West Side luxury condo.
