Small Urban Kitchen Design Frederick, MD

Designed by Paula Truchon of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Frederick MD, this small urban style kitchen with a casual feel features Merillat Classic cabinets in Fusion with solid slab door style in a Natural Maple finish. The kitchen countertops are granite in the color Steel Grey. The kitchen includes Whirlpool appliances and a tile backsplash in Gazzini DecoStyle GreyGlossy 2x8. “The previous kitchen was 25 years old with shaker style cherry colored cabinetry and a laminate top,” said Paula. “The kitchen renovation included opening it up to the rest of the apartment by lowering the height of a half wall and integrating it into the cabinetry. Slab door cabinetry with black horizontal tab pulls reflect a cleaner, more modern kitchen.” Photos courtesy of BTW Images LLC.

We had the opportunity of creating a truly unique kitchen. We have not created something like this before, nor have we seen such a kitchen. The main material is valchromat which has been routed to create a distinct pattern in the doors.

Shaker style hickory cabinets in a butternut stain are the perfect backdrop to the bright blue island. Viatera quartz tops and the tile backsplash add extra detail to this kitchen.

Rénovation : Une cuisine simple et masculine

Fil Rouge Decoration

La cuisine repensée conserve le même emplacement qu'avant travaux. Cependant sa nouvelle finition angle en arrondi facilite la circulation et donne un aspect plus "fini" au linéaire. de nombreux rangements ont été intégrés ainsi qu'un four lave-vaisselle combiné et un micro-onde. La création d'un îlot central aligné au plan de travail a permis d'équiper la cuisine de trois confortables tiroirs. De plus, la belle largeur de l'îlot accueil facilement trois beaux sièges de bar, dont la maille apporte un esprit chalet contemporain qui répond parfaitement aux éléments bois de la cuisine. Quelques étagères on été ajoutées au projet dans la niche et une suspension de belle taille à été installée au niveau de l'îlot. La crédence et le sol proposés sont volontairement classiques et intemporels.

This three home project in Seattle was a creative challenge we were excited to tackle. The lot sizes were long and narrow, so we decided to create a compact contemporary space. Our design team chose light solid surface elements and a dark flooring for a warmer mix. Photographer: Layne Freedle

Main Line Kitchen Design

Main Line Kitchen Design is a brand new business model! We are a group of skilled Kitchen Designers each with many years of experience planning kitchens around the Delaware Valley. And we are cabinet dealers for 6 nationally distributed cabinet lines like traditional showrooms. At Main Line Kitchen Design instead of a full showroom we use a small office and selection center, and 100’s of sample doorstyles, finish and sample kitchen cabinets, as well as photo design books and CAD on laptops to display your kitchen. This way we eliminate the need and the cost associated with a showroom business model. This makes the design process more convenient for our customers, and we pass the significant savings on to them as well. We believe that since a web site like Houzz.com has over half a million kitchen photos any advantage to going to a full kitchen showroom with full kitchen displays has been lost. Almost no customer today will ever get to see a display kitchen in their door style and finish there are just too many possibilities. And of course the design of each kitchen is unique anyway. Our design process also allows us to spend more time working on our customer’s designs. This is what we enjoy most about our business and it is what makes the difference between an average and a great kitchen design. The kitchen cabinet lines we design with and sell are Jim Bishop, Wellsford Cabinetry, 6 Square, Fabuwood, Oracle, Village, Collier, and Bremtowm Fine Custom Cabinetry. Jake Ferry Photographer.

Blue Kitchen with Light Wood Cabinets 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!
