Fall officially has arrived in southeastern Wisconsin. We spend more time indoors in cooler temperatures, cooking in the kitchen versus grilling outside. Kitchens are the heart of the home. We entertain and gather as a family in the kitchen for more than just meals. The amount of time spent in the kitchen is certainly extensive, so it should be a space in your home you love being in. Create a space with luxury appliances and items to make the time spent there enjoyable and relaxing. When planning your custom kitchen, carefully consider the design and let the details come together exactly how you want. The space should be designed to work with you and your family’s needs and desires, custom for you! At Colby Construction, we know custom, and we know kitchens. The following are some of our favorite custom kitchens and their details for ideas for your custom luxury home!

What’s the Perfect Layout for a Custom Kitchen?

So what makes a kitchen custom and a luxury space? The layout of a custom kitchen will be unique to every homeowner’s needs. There are a few design details that turn an everyday space into a place of comfort and ease, assuring your every want and need. When planning luxury custom kitchen layouts, most clients seek an open floor plan, where every zone has a designation without losing any space.
