The brief for this grand old Taringa residence was to blur the line between old and new. We renovated the 1910 Queenslander, restoring the enclosed front sleep-out to the original balcony and designing a new split staircase as a nod to tradition, while retaining functionality to access the tiered front yard. We added a rear extension consisting of a new master bedroom suite, larger kitchen, and family room leading to a deck that overlooks a leafy surround. A new laundry and utility rooms were added providing an abundance of purposeful storage including a laundry chute connecting them. Selection of materials, finishes and fixtures were thoughtfully considered so as to honour the history while providing modern functionality. Colour was integral to the design giving a contemporary twist on traditional colours.

Kitchen Remodel Project

This beautiful Kitchen / Living Area has been created from a smaller Kitchen and a Livingroom. After collecting the keys to her new property, our client knew exactly what she wanted to do with this space. It was our job to plan and execute the design to perfection. Removing a small partition wall from between the room allowed us to extend the kitchen into the living space. A perfectly placed Island was then able to accommodate both spaces. Egger Halifax Oak worktops were picked early on to tie in the rustic colour of our clients decorative items. Vintage typewriters and scales were added at a later stage of the design bringing all these colours together. Being able too see the room in 3D with such high detail allowed our client to plan ahead with room layout and design aspects. This was just not possible in the past. Within the space we have some truly bespoke items that we supply and can be made to your exact colours, sizes and requirements, this includes the one of a kind Large Clock, Bespoke Bookshelf, Industrial Shelving and Solid Timber Wall Paneling. All of these items can be purchased via our website in the 100% Bespoke Shop. Within this design we have what must be the comfiest sofa I have ever had the pleasure to sit on. I had heard great things about Loaf and their amazing “send you too sleep sofas” but until you get to test it out for yourself its hard to explain how good it really is. Another great feature within the design complimenting the Egger island is the Lloyd Loom Carnaby Swivel Bar Chairs, not only comfortable but a solid, attractive and stylish addition to the room. Some amazing finishing touches were added to the room like the Smeg appliances which have an excellent quality feel to them and then the personal touch from CraftyMand, this includes features like the personalized herb rack and signage made exactly to the clients own personal requirements, all of this making it a truly bespoke kitchen like no other.

Kitchen was updated to a contemporary while warm space for the couple to entertain and cook. The glass arabesque backsplash was selected to reflect light, bright up the room, and evokes a mirage effect which was manifested in the design concept. Backsplash was endorsed by bright granite countertops, and was balanced out with warm wood floor and ceiling. Original layout of the kitchen was kept to provide maximum amount of cabinets and counterspace. Cabinets were restored and useless cabinet compartments and drawers were modified for a better use of space. Cabinet above the range was removed for a modern wall-mounted hood and ceiling height backsplash. SS appliances and farmer sink were added and cabinet were adjusted. Florescent ceiling lights were replaced with four recessed lights for more illumination and a clean cut look.

Beige Kitchen with Timber 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 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!
