1. How to Design a Luxury Kitchen in
Your Carillon Lakes Community Home

2. They say that the kitchen is the heart of
any home. It’s a place for people to
gather round and chat while the savory
smell of freshly-made cookies waft
around the air. As an important part of
the house, most Carillon Lakes
community homeowners dream about
the perfect luxurious kitchen.

3. But dream home kitchens don’t come
cheap. It takes a lot of work and
money to design the kitchen of your
dreams. Fortunately, there are ways
you can work on building a luxury
kitchen while on a budget. Check out
these tips below:

4. 1. Keep the same structure of the kitchen.
Just because you want to redesign your
kitchen doesn’t mean you have to restructure
the entire space. Keeping the same structure
helps you save money by not having to redo
electrical work and plumbing. By not moving
the location of the appliances and fixtures,
you keep the space intact and don’t spend so
much on remodeling the entire space.

5. 2. Update your appliances.
If your kitchen appliances have reached the 15 or 20-
year mark, it might be time to toss them out and buy
new ones. It’s always best to invest in sturdy
appliances that will last you for another decade than
wearing down your old ones. Old appliances tend to
use even more energy to make it work so by
updating, you’re not just making your kitchen look
trendy and luxurious but you’re also saving on all
those monthly electric bills.

6. 3. Use simple lighting.
The kitchen of your home in Carillon Lakes
community doesn’t need expensive lighting
fixtures to make it look chic. What’s
important is that it’s well-lit and as much as
possible, a lot of natural light can stream
through the windows. Illuminate your kitchen
area with an inexpensive lamp that
compliments your overall design.

8. 4. Use granite top overlays.
Enjoy an improved aesthetic with granite top
overlays. These are ¼” thick slabs of granite that you
can use over your current countertops. To give an
appearance natural stone, granite top overlays are a
mixture of granite composites, stone fragments, and
quartz. Apart from helping you save money on the
material, using overlays also help you save on the
installation fees as no demolition is needed to apply
them. You can even do it yourself!

9. 5. Repaint your cabinets and shelves.
Another way to save on designing your kitchen
is by repainting your shelves. Don’t be afraid
to add color. You can also reface the cabinet
doors instead of taking them out and buying
new ones to install. Give your Carillon Lakes
community house kitchen a fresh and
luxurious look through newly painted storage
units.

10. Designing your dream kitchen doesn’t
have to be a costly affair. By knowing
what to incorporate and invest in, you
can definitely enjoy a chic and hip
kitchen in no time at all.
