Fancy Kitchen Designs from HGTV Shows
As the "heart of a home," kitchens are a place to cook, eat, drink, laugh, talk and share memories together with friends and family. They deserve to get a little extra love and to be a place that you actually want to spend time. Whether that means having high-end finishes, being super organized or incorporating a feature specific to your family, the HGTV stars are full of ideas to make your kitchen feel fancier. Get ready to be inspired.
Luxe for Less hosts Michel Smith Boyd and Anthony Elle know a thing or two about making a space feel high-end without the high price tags. For the kitchen in their winning house on Rock the Block Season 4, the creative duo opted for a porcelain, dual height island instead of marble to save money. The upper height is perfect for food prep and serving, while the lower height is great for breakfast or evening cocktails.
Sometimes fancy also means practical, which is why Drew and Jonathan Scott decked out this kitchen from Property Brothers: Forever Home with floor-to-ceiling cabinets that disguise everything from pantry items to cookware. A soft beige tone feels minimalist, yet luxurious, and matte black hardware brings in a sleek touch. If you are installing floor-to-ceiling cabinets, go for ones with longer doors and a mix of drawers and shelves inside for maximum storage.
For a little metallic flair, Down Home Fab hosts Chelsea and Cole DeBoer came up with the idea to wrap the island in this moody kitchen with sheets of copper. The shiny finish pops off the glossy black cabinets and will naturally patina over time for even more drama. Slender barstools match the kitchen's contemporary vibe and allow the island to shine.
