Classic Lux Kitchen Inspiration & Mood Boards
Creating a kitchen that balances classic elegance with modern luxury is an art form. Today, I would love to share two curated mood boards that can inspire you to achieve that coveted Classic Lux kitchen design. These mood boards, presented by FiveTen Construction & Interior Design, showcasing a harmonious blend of materials, fixtures, and colors that culminate in timeless aesthetics with a contemporary twist.
Kitchen Faucet / Island Stone / Cabinet Pulls / Sconce / Backsplash Tile / Surround Countertop
Option One: A Study in Subtlety
The first mood board offers a gentle approach to luxury, combining soft marble textures with sleek finishes. The island is envisioned with a captivating marble stone that boasts natural, intricate veining, lending an air of sophistication and a unique character to the space. This Calcutta Gold marble island, while not the cheapest option becomes a real wow-moment and focal point that will set the tone for your kitchen.
For the surrounding countertops, a dark, textured surround Jet Mist granite (honed) was selected. It is an affordable option to balance the splurge of the kitchen island marble choice. Jet Mist granite offers a bold counterpoint to the lighter tones within the room and durability. This choice not only grounds the design but also provides durability and a touch of modernity.
Accompanying the Jet Mist granite countertop surround is a choice of marble backsplash tile that exudes class with its scalloped edges and glossy finish, reflecting light and adding depth to the kitchen. The simplicity of the backsplash tile design creates a visual contrast with the complexity of the marble while subtly pulling in the grey and gold tones of both stone choices. This backsplash choice is one you’ll love for years, achieving a balance that is both eye-catching and harmonious.
The fixtures include a high-arc, stainless steel faucet that marries functionality with style, while the two-toned cabinet pulls echo the mixed material approach, adding a layer of interest to the classic white shaker cabinetry.
The color palette is restrained yet inviting, with a spectrum ranging from deep browns to creamy beiges, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Each color is chosen to complement the natural stone and metallic finishes, resulting in a cohesive and serene environment.
Pro Tip
Select timeless options for items that cannot easily be changed. However, go daring or trendy with elements that can easily be changed like cabinet pulls, light fixtures, faucets, mirrors, etc.

Option Two: Bold and Beautiful
The second mood board I created takes a more audacious route to luxury. The Panda White Mable island stone introduces a dramatic flair with its deep, dark hues intertwined with stark white veins. It's a statement piece that demands attention and anchors the room with its boldness.
For the surrounding countertops and full backsplash, I selected Sereno Gold Quartz, a lighter stone with delicate veining with extreme durability. The Sereno Gold Quartz provides a bright and clean backdrop that allows other elements to shine. This choice also amplifies the natural light within the kitchen, making the space feel more open and airy.
Flagging either side of a kitchen window with this modern armed sconce from Wayfair adds interest to any kitchen wall, acting like jewelry for your home.The lighting and plumbing fixtures in this design are showstoppers, blending black and brass for a contemporary look that adds a hint of industrial chic to the space. The hardware in this option is a classic brass pull, introducing a touch of warmth and traditional luxury to the cabinetry, echoing the brass accents of the faucet and lighting fixtures.
The color palette for option two is a sophisticated blend of neutrals, anchored by a strong, almost charcoal black, and softened by shades of grey and taupe. This palette is versatile, easily adapting to changing trends and personal touches over time.
Both mood boards offer a different take on the Classic Lux kitchen, each with its own personality and charm. Whether you lean towards the subtlety of the first option or the bold statement of the second, FiveTen Construction & Design has curated these selections to help you envision a kitchen that's not only luxurious but also timelessly stylish.
In Conclusion
When designing your kitchen, consider these mood boards as a starting point for your own Classic Lux space. Remember, the key to achieving this style is in the balance of elements - mixing textures, colors, and finishes to create a kitchen that feels both grand and grounded. Allow these curated pieces to inspire you, and don't hesitate to add your personal flair to make the space truly yours.
