Artistic backsplash
As much as we love subway-tiled kitchen backsplashes, it’s not a look we’d expect to see in the royal home. This framed herringbone addition offers an artistic touch that makes for a showstopper of a backsplash.

Gold faucet
When designing a kitchen fit for a princess, the biggest luxuries are found in the details. A gold faucet would be the perfect glam addition to Kate’s kitchen, especially when contrasted against marble and charcoal design elements.

Range fit for a chef
The high-end Aga range currently in Kate’s kitchen seems to be a bit too traditional for her modern taste. In her new kitchen, we imagine a premium Wolf oven, a sleek stainless steel favourite of world-class chefs.

Streamlined cabinets
With a distaste for the traditional kitchen cabinetry, Kate might be better suited to a sleek, streamlined look. The seamless facade of these cabinets with their high gloss finish is a great glam alternative.

Marble everywhere
Kate wasn’t a fan of the walnut wood countertops that capped the lower cabinets and island of her third kitchen. To lighten up the space and make it a bit more elegant, Kate might opt for marble slabs to be installed–not only is the stone incredibly durable, but it offers a luxurious, timeless look that’s perfect for a princess.

Wine fridge
With a new family member who just happens to be the heir to the throne, Kate and Will can expect lots of visitors. The new kitchen would ideally include a Thermador wine fridge, so that a chilled glass of wine is readily available whenever guests arrive.

Gold dinnerware
A beautiful kitchen deserves to have beautiful table settings housed within it. For her everyday entertaining needs, the princess might look towards British designer Jasper Conran–this beautiful 5-piece table setting with gold trim looks ultra posh, without the eyebrow-raising price tag to match. Jasper Conran gold 5-piece set, Wedgwood, $170 per 5-piece setting.

Barista’s espresso machine
With a busy schedule like Kate’s, a top-of-the-line espresso machine is a must to give her a boost in the morning. The old mid-range espresso machine is being taken out, and will likely be replaced with a barista-worthy work of art like the La Spaziale Vivaldi II. La Spaziale Vivaldi II Espresso Machine, Clive Coffee, $2470.

Herringbone flooring
Kate’s not too keen on the walnut hardwood floor lining of one of her current kitchens, but that’s not to say that she’d shy away from another wooden finish. The faux bois finish on the flooring here is actually tiled, with a herringbone layout that offers a perfect contrast between the classic pattern and the modern cabinetry.
