Luxury Kitchens in Ireland
Trends to Watch with Gurteen Kitchens
The Meaning of Luxury Today
With Bespoke KITCHENS
Luxury kitchens are no longer just about marble worktops or high-gloss finishes. In Ireland, homeowners are increasingly looking for kitchens that combine style, technology, and function. A luxury kitchen should feel timeless, crafted with care, and tailored to the way you live every day.
At Gurteen Kitchens, we’ve been designing and building bespoke kitchens since 1993. Every kitchen is made in Ireland by our own team, ensuring the highest level of detail and quality.
Upcoming Kitchen Trends in Ireland
Thoughtfully considered materials, clever storage, and subtle technology are shaping the next wave of luxury kitchens across Ireland.
-
Warm, Natural Textures
We’re seeing a shift from stark, all-white kitchens to softer palettes. Think natural woods, warm veneers, and textured laminates that bring depth and character to the space.
-
Statement Islands
Large kitchen islands are becoming the centrepiece of luxury homes. Beyond seating, they now integrate wine storage, prep sinks, or open shelving for display.
-
Hidden Storage & Pantries
Minimalism continues to lead. Hidden larders, pocket doors, and seamless cabinetry keep clutter out of sight while offering maximum functionality.
-
Sustainable Choices
More homeowners want kitchens built to last with responsibly sourced materials and energy-efficient appliances. Longevity and eco-friendly finishes are now central to luxury.
-
Smart Technology Integration
Luxury doesn’t stop at cabinetry. Discreet charging drawers, voice-controlled lighting, and Wi-Fi-connected ovens are transforming daily use.
-
Two-Tone Colour Palettes
Contrasting tones—deep navy or charcoal paired with lighter oak or cream—create a tailored, modern aesthetic that feels bespoke.
Luxury Kitchen Design Considerations in Ireland
A true luxury kitchen is designed not only for style, but also for the way you live every day. In Irish homes, certain factors shape the design process more than most.
Maximising Natural Light
Balancing north- and south-facing rooms with reflective surfaces and carefully layered lighting schemes.
Blending Open-Plan Living
Ensuring the kitchen flows seamlessly into dining and living spaces while keeping its own character.
Respecting Heritage Homes
Pairing period architecture with modern design so the kitchen feels timeless rather than “fitted in.”
Durability for Daily Use
Choosing worktops, cabinetry, and mechanisms built to withstand the rhythm of busy family life.

Luxury doesn’t just mean imported names. It means trusted craft, tailored to you. At Gurteen Kitchens, we combine heritage and innovation to deliver kitchens designed for Irish homes, lifestyles, and climate.
