New Trophy Home Trends: Two Kitchens, Two Closets and Gallery Garages

Luxury kitchen with dark brown cabinets and granite top. Kitchen has dining area and sliding doors to walkout deck

Forget multiple bedrooms and double-digit bathrooms. According to a report by “Hollywood Reporter,” high-end home buyers are now demanding “show” and “hidden” versions of kitchens, garages and the like for their trophy homes. Here is a list of just some of the top-notch features currently being added to L.A.’s mega-mansions:

• Private prep kitchens and butler’s pantries

• Working and “boutique closets” with a retail feel, where outfits are laid out and arranged daily, along with hidden closets for storing clothes, shoes and purses 

• Dual garages — one a storage space and the other a gallery garage that gives car collections the high-art treatment with expert lighting, steel-folding glass doors and viewing rooms

• Basement-level lounge rooms with scenery — like underwater views of the pool via a massive window from a bar

• Open-concept bathrooms that seamlessly open to private outdoor rooms, complete with fireplaces and multiple sitting areas
