A person has always had a desire for luxury, both the Egyptian pharaohs and the French kings surrounded themselves with products made of gold and natural stone. A modern person, having enough money, can order a kitchen with gilding, decorated with crocodile skin and precious stones, Murano glass. For the kitchen, practical indicators are also important, and not just beauty, therefore, innovative built-in appliances are used, which belong to high technologies.

The most expensive kitchens in the world, what are they?
Dimensions
Expensive and prestigious kitchens are rarely modest in size, as they are bought by rich people who do not suffer from a lack of space in the house. Because expensive kitchens are usually voluminous and even bulky, countertops can reach a length of up to 4 meters or more. Cabinets and a refrigerator will accommodate all the utensils and food, even if a large family lives in the house. Look at the classic kitchens at the link to the site http://www.julis.ru/.
Materials used
Due to the expensive materials used in the production of kitchens, they are so expensive. Usually, wooden elements are made of solid wood, and countertops are made of artificial and natural stone (marble, granite). Elite kitchen cabinet doors can be upholstered with crocodile skin and decorated with precious stones, sometimes with small diamonds. Gilding is found in different parts of such kitchens, because this metal also protects against germs and never corrodes. Therefore, faucets and sinks are made gilded. Decorative elements made of glass, stained-glass windows adorn the most expensive kitchens in the world.
In the manufacture of kitchens that belong to the middle price segment, high-quality MDF covered with film is often used. Despite the fact that the kitchen costs about 2-3 thousand dollars, pressed wood is used, which sometimes surpasses natural solid wood in terms of practicality and durability.
Manufacturers
European manufacturers have always been famous for creating the most expensive kitchen sets for built-in appliances. Italian furniture attracts with the quality of the materials used for its production, but most of all with its design, elegance of lines. The UK is trying to keep up, in 2011 the most expensive kitchen in the world (Marazzi Design) was released, costing about half a million dollars. German luxury kitchen furniture is quite popular and has a high cost.
Kitchens to order
An expensive kitchen is most often made to order, because it is difficult to guess the size and shape. The customer can choose the color, materials used, shape and size. The dimensions of the rooms in which the furniture will be installed are different, windows, hoods, and communications are located differently everywhere. The kitchen can be either straight or corner or U-shaped. If space allows, then island-style kitchens are installed, with a countertop in the center of the room.
Modular kitchens
Quite often, in order to choose the best option, the kitchen is assembled from separate modules.
Style

The kitchen is perhaps the place where the average person spends quite a lot of free time. Here we cook food, eat, and sometimes even receive guests. When choosing housing, we first of all evaluate the dimensions of the kitchen, decide how to properly organize the space, then select appliances, furniture and accessories.
Have you ever wondered what your kitchen would look like if you were not limited either in space or in finance? What materials would you use for its design, what furniture, plumbing would you choose? So, recently in London was presented the most expensive kitchen in the world, the cost of which amounted to 1.6 million dollars. This kitchen was called Fiore di Cristallo. More than a year was spent on its development and production. The technologies that were used in its production remain unknown, however, the materials and expensive equipment fully justify such a high cost.
The most expensive kitchen in the world is made using natural stone, Murmansk glass and copper. Crystal and Swarovski crystals were also used for its design. The creator, who, by the way, is Claudio Keliberti, decided not to use gold and diamonds.

In the center of the Fiore di Cristallo kitchen is a transparent table that costs $59,000. Above it, a $42,000 Swarovski designer chandelier has found its place.
Another unusual design element is a $4,000 rock-crystal sink with a Philip Starck chrome faucet. Also, the final cost of the kitchen is formed by an expensive countertop made of natural stone, the price of which is about 11 thousand dollars, and German household appliances Gaggenau, which are assembled by hand and are of high quality and reliability.
The creator of the most expensive kitchen in the world himself believes that he did exactly what he intended. He managed to create not just a kitchen, but a real masterpiece, which is also distinguished by practicality, convenience and style.
