Painting your luxury home kitchen white, although without a doubt a timeless choice, is no longer your only option for maximum flexibility. Gray is now running nose to nose in the race for most desirable kitchen color palate.

Custom luxury home builder, TK Kneedler says that soft gray paint paired with devastatingly opulent stained wood is a major new go-to popular selection with his luxury home clients. TK also says that combining gray cabinets with rich wood cabinets is also a very trendy look.

Neutral color palates are definitely not old-school or boring when personalized with your own particular style. Your luxury kitchen home should extravagantly express your own unique lifestyle as much as any other room in your home. If you want lavenders, purples and mauves paired with rich red-browns in your kitchen, you are right on trend! Throw in warm metal accents like copper or bronze, and you just struck gold!

Playing with light and shadow will create a dramatic, yet open feel. Dark cabinets matched with sparkling light backsplashes and countertops do just that. Don't, whatever you do, forget to hang gorgeous pendant lights somewhere in your new custom luxury kitchen. That would be like arriving at the charity ball without your earrings! What's the best style for your new kitchen? You're style, of course.
