This custom kitchen features steel beams, tile flooring and custom concrete countertops. The sink was placed in the middle of the kitchen for entertaining purposes, but placed where the cook would still be able to see the outdoors through the tall custom windows.

Having been referred to us by friends, our clients knew they could ask our cabinet makers to craft exactly what they wanted. So when they came to visit us at our workshop in Shere, they bought twelve pages of sketches, photos & notes detailing all the features they had loved in their previous kitchens and lots of new details they wanted to include in their new build.

BEAUTIFUL BLUE BESPOKE KITCHEN DESIGN IN BEAULIEU NEW FOREST

Herbert William Limited

A beautiful blue bespoke kitchen design in Beaulieu New Forest was created by our designer Lorna. Lorna’s client requested to have a bespoke wood in-frame painted kitchen with oak veneer plywood carcases, skirting plinths and brushed nickel cup and knob handles. The kitchen is situated in a beautiful airy extension which has been added to an older property. The kitchen and surrounding space have vast windows throughout offering wonderful views of the forest/land surrounding the property in Beaulieu. Lorna assisted our client in choosing specific colours for the doors to create that truly bespoke finish. The final decision was taken from the Little Green Company collection – Slaked Lime and Hicks Blue. Lorna also visited our local stonemasons with our client to help select the final Quartz worktops to be used and our client loved that she could select and reserve slabs to be used in her kitchen. The bespoke kitchen design included a Fisher & Paykel Stainless Steel Fridge Freezer, Dishwasher Drawers, Ilve Range Cooker, Falmec Extractor, Caple Wine Fridge, single bowl in the island and Kohler double main sink. Both sinks included stainless steel finish taps. Storage was important so Lorna included a shallow double door pantry to one side of the kitchen in the design. Overall the space was to be sociable and the design layout enabled the space to feel open and functional for many occasions – be it cooking for two or a large family gathering. The final result has given our client the kitchen she desired and blends beautifully into the new space as if it had always been there. Herbert William now offers bespoke kitchen design, crafting cabinets in our very own on-site workshop so you can achieve the kitchen design of your dreams. Photos by Lia Vittone

Blue Kitchen with Ceramic 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 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!
