DEANE Inc | Distinctive Design & Cabinetry

This project is the third collaboration between the client and DEANE. They wanted their kitchen renovation to feel updated, fresh and modern, while also customized to their tastes. Frameless white cabinetry with modern, narrow-framed doors and satin nickel hardware contrasts cleanly against the opposing rift-oak wood cabinetry. The counters are a combination of polished white glass with Caesarstone countertops in Airy Concrete quartz providing durable, functional workspaces. The single-slab, White Calacatta Sapien Stone porcelain backsplash provides a dramatic backdrop for the floating shelves with integrated lighting. The owners selected a dual-fuel, 6 burner Wolf 48" range with griddle, and decided to panel the SubZero refrigerator and freezer columns that flank the message center/charging station. The custom, boxed hood adds bold lines, while the full Waterstone faucet suite is a memorable feature. It was important to create areas for entertaining, so the pantry features functional, dark navy lower cabinetry for storage with a counter for secondary appliances. The dining area was elevated by the custom furniture piece with sliding doors and wood-framed glass shelves, allowing the display of decorative pieces, as well as buffet serving. The humidity and temperature-controlled custom wine unit holds enough bottles to host the ultimate dinner party

Carpe Diem, un appartement lyonnais atypique

Rocamboles

Propriétaires d’un appartement atypique sur les hauteurs de Lyon, mes clients souhaitaient repenser leurs espaces de jour, séjour et cuisine. Cet appartement sur la colline de Fourvière, dans le quartier de St Just, bénéficiait déjà de beaux atouts : une belle hauteur sous le magnifique plafond à la Française et une terrasse avec une petite véranda. Mais l’agencement d’origine (avant projet) ne mettaient pas en valeur ces atouts : volumes écrasés par une mezzanine imposante, murs sombres, cuisine et rangements peu ergonomiques. Le cahier des charges s’est construit logiquement : ramener de la clarté, libérer les espaces, agrandir la véranda, créer des rangements et placer la cuisine au coeur du projet. La première étape a donc été d’agrandir la véranda sur toute la largeur de la terrasse pour gagner en surface habitable. Ce nouvel espace ainsi créé a permis d'étirer la cuisine avec un long plan de travail pour faire office de table de repas. Plus besoin de salle à manger ! Placée au plus proche de la terrasse et bénéficiant d’un apport de lumière maximum, la cuisine/salle à manger pouvant accueillir 8 convives est devenue le coeur de l’appartement et gagne en convivialité et confort. L’ancienne mezzanine avec son épais garde-corps en bois a été déposée, libérant ainsi les volumes du séjour et dégageant le plafond à la Française, typique des appartements lyonnais anciens. Seul le cube abritant la salle de bains a été conservé. Le toit de ce cube fait office de couchage d’appoint pour les amis de passage ... et de « cave-à-vin-garde-corps » original ! Placée en périphérie de la pièce et réalisée sur-mesure, une structure porteuse, intégrant des placards très pratiques, masque les gaines techniques et la chaudière, décuple la capacité de rangements et dessine une jolie ligne à cette pièce de vie spacieuse. Une déclinaison de bleu placée sur les murs et le plafond de cet agencement menuisé accentue l’effet « alcôve » des accès menant à la porte d’entrée et aux chambres. Côté matériaux, le parquet en chêne massif avec ses larges lattes apporte beaucoup de douceur et contraste avec le plafond aux poutres plus sombres. Le bois s’invite aussi par petites touches dans la cuisine toute blanche : le « coup de torchon » en crédence et le grand plateau accentuent les lignes horizontales. Ce plateau semble comme suspendu grâce à son piètement en verre sécurit, parfait pour laisser filtrer la lumière et laisser filer le regard depuis l’entrée jusqu’à la terrasse !

Beach Style Kitchen with Light Hardwood Floors Design Ideas

There’s a lot to consider when it comes to planning your kitchen design. Where do you even start? Gathering some inspiration in a photo gallery is always a good starting point, as looking at different kitchen designs often brings up ideas you haven’t even thought of yet.

Browse Photos of Kitchen Designs for Inspiration and Collect Your Ideas

You can browse through photos of all kinds of kitchen styles, layouts and sizes on Houzz to get started before jumping into any design software or contacting a local professional for help. Here’s a few considerations to keep in mind when planning your kitchen.

1. What Makes a Good Beach Style Kitchen Design, and Why is it Important?

For starters, you want to find a balance between aesthetics and function. You may have heard of the ‘kitchen work triangle’, which refers to the space between your fridge, sink and stove. You want everything within easy reach when you’re working in the kitchen and look beautiful at the same time. It’s a good idea to take note of both when browsing our photo gallery.

2. Consider Your Space to Determine Your Kitchen Layout

Firstly, consider the space you have, and the limitations that come with it. Do you have a small kitchen and need to maximise your workspace and storage? Can you allow yourself some more space and a big island with seating? Are you designing your kitchen from scratch or renovating an existing design? Which appliances do you already own and what are their measurements? Are there windows you need to take into consideration when planning cabinets? How do kitchen, living and dining areas connect? Depending on your space and needs, you want to use a shape that suits you. U, G, or L-shaped kitchen, with or without island or peninsula? Know your dimensions, plan cabinetry carefully and consider the placement of your appliances. You don’t want to end up with a finished design, only for your significant other to question where the fridge is supposed to go. Consider from the start where your fridge, oven, microwave and sink goes to save yourself from starting again from scratch - remember the kitchen work triangle! You also want to plan the layout of your cabinets. Maybe you’re planning for a pantry and can do with less storage space in your kitchen, so that your design can be one without upper or lower cabinets for a different look. A corner cabinet can be a smart storage solution if you want to keep the look clean and simple.

3. Decide on a Kitchen Style, But Don’t Forget Practicality

You want the style of your kitchen to reflect your personality and taste. We have curated a large array of kitchen styles here at Houzz, from traditional to contemporary to transitional and everything in between. Consider what your cooking style is for a start - Italy is known for its cuisine, so italian kitchen designs are generally popular. Also consider ergonomics - depending on how much time you spend in your kitchen, the height of your counters can make a big difference to your overall health. You also want to consider colour and finishes of cabinets, countertops and splashbacks. Which colour do you want your cupboards to be? Simple, timeless white or rather making a statement in black? Maybe rather a rustic wood? Also consider the colour of your floor - if you have dark floors, you may want to keep cabinets lighter. You could also go for an all-white look and choose black appliances for contrast. Once you know which style you fancy, don’t forget how you will be using the space. You want to keep cooking in mind, as well as how easy to clean and maintain the space will be. How many cooks do you need to accommodate? Do you have kids around? How much storage do you need? Maybe you want to go for open shelves rather than cabinets and allow for easy reach of key items you use when cooking. Again - remember the triangle! Lastly, choose lighting that both enhances the look of your kitchen as well as your cooking performance, providing light in all the right places.

4. Be Conscious of Your Budget

No matter what you plan for your kitchen design, cost is always a big factor. Be sure to plan with your budget in mind. It may make more sense to go for a modular kitchen design rather than custom build. You can save a lot of money if you get at least 3 estimates from professionals before locking in the job. And don’t forget to allow a 20% buffer for emergencies. Once you are ready to hire a pro, our directory will help you find one, no matter where you are. So whether you're looking for an Interior Designer in Melbourne or an Architect in Sydney, you can be sure to find a qualified expert for the job!
