This stylish and sophisticated dark grey German handle less kitchen in Hayes features an ‘L’ shaped layout with a peninsular island. This allows for the open plan living space to be perfectly zoned. There is a practical ‘work-space’ on one side with the Siemens induction hob, ovens, fridge and freezer and seating on the other which is great for entertaining. Silestone Nilo has been used for the worktops and Silestone Kensho on the waterfall Island. Both from Cosentino.

This project completely remodelled a semi-detached house in a conservation area of Wandsworth Common, South London. Utilising the slope of the site, we introduced a semi basement to the rear containing a bedroom, living space and kitchenette – connected through a new staircase and hallway. Above this is a large single storey extension containing a contemporary kitchen, utility, dining and living space as well as a raised terrace. A material choice of rendered walls, timber slats and pearl-grey aluminium doors both compliment the existing house, as well as making a bold new statement at the rear. Because of the South-facing aspect, and bright natural light, we were able to introduce a bold colour scheme of stiffkey blue kitchen units, copper plated extract, oak timber floors and dark panelled entrance hall. The added space has transformed the house, almost doubling the key living areas and providing a modern flexible home that can be adapated for future use.

Минималистичный дизайн интерьера однокомнатной квартиры: кухня-гостиная

Дизайн-студия "Инстильер"

Квартира невелика, поэтому при выборе цветов нам следовало придерживаться лаконичной палитры, чтобы обилие красок не перегрузило дизайн этого интерьера. Все стены и потолки выкрашены в белый, что даёт хорошую мягкую освещённость. Аналогичный и цвет мебели, за исключение составляет кухонный гарнитур. Такое решение неслучайно: помимо создания яркого контрастного пятна, оно позволяет подчеркнуть прямолинейную геометрию помещения и способствует решению задачи зонирования, поскольку дополнительно выделяет зону кухни в общей стилистике квартиры. Тем не менее, стилистическая преемственность корпусной мебели в различных помещениях была достигнута посредством применения в них деревянных вставок и фасадов. Дерево среднего тона использовано и в качестве напольного покрытия, что отлично согласуется с мебелью и согревает этот интерьер, привносит в него уют.

Perfekte Maßarbeit – pures Design: Diese Küche mit angrenzendem Wohnbereich lässt das Herz von Designliebhabern höher schlagen. Die Küchenfronten in schwarzer Nano-Oberfläche wurden hier kombiniert mit einer 5 mm dünnen Livetouch-Arbeitsplatte. Der Clou: Trotz der extrem dünnen Arbeitsplatte weist das Abtropfbecken neben der Spüle ein ausreichendes Gefälle für den Ablauf in das Spülbecken auf. Die Bartheke aus massiver Altoholz-Eiche passt perfekt zur neuen Tischgruppe. Wenn Sie sich die Bilder genauer ansehen, werden Sie feststellen, dass es in der gesamten Küche keine Blenden gibt – alles wurde auf exakt auf Maß bestellt und perfekt montiert. Auch die technische Ausstattung lässt keine Wünsche offen. Neben dem Geggenau Combi-Dampfbackofen sorgt das Bora-Professionell-Umluftsystem im Induktionskochfeld für perfekten Komfort in dieser Traumküche. Auch der angrenzende Speise- und Wohnbereich wurde gemeinsam mit unserem Kunden perfekt in Szene gesetzt. Der Esstisch Marke Janua wurde hier kombiniert mit Freifrau-Stühlen und einer Bank aus dem Hause Riva. Im Wohnbereich lädt ein XXL-Sofa mit Übertiefe zum bequemen Sitzen und „Lümmeln“ ein. Die gegenüberliegende Wandverkleidung aus massivem Holz einer ehemaligen alten Heuhütte wurde kombiniert mit einem Kettnaker-Board aus schwarzem, matten Glas. Die i-Tüpfelchen im Wohnbereich setzen der kymo-Teppich und der schicke und praktische Pomp-Hocker.

Black Kitchen with Glass Sheet Splashback 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!
