In this episode of Elevate and Renovate, Michael sits down with LBK Lead Designer Alyssa Griet to explore the kitchen design trends homeowners are gravitating toward most. Together, they discuss how luxury kitchens are evolving to feel more seamless, personalized, and functional for everyday living.

From beverage stations and appliance garages to paneled appliances, layered lighting, and hidden storage solutions, she shares the features that are reshaping modern kitchen design and why these details matter beyond aesthetics alone.

The conversation also dives into how trends have shifted away from overly sterile, one-size-fits-all spaces and toward kitchens that feel warm, intentional, and deeply connected to the lifestyle of the homeowner. Michael and Alyssa discuss how thoughtful design decisions can improve functionality, reduce visual clutter, and elevate the experience of everyday life within the home.
