The yellow paint and built in ancient sub zero had to go! So did the wall that was built up in the far left of this image, it cut off the flow and view of the kitchen into the family/living room.

CLEAN LINES WITH INTUO KITCHEN DESIGN

Herbert William Limited

A modern kitchen was required by our client with clean lines to go into a carefully designed extension that had to meet listed building regulations. A glazed divide detail was used between the existing building and new extension. Overall the client wanted a clean design that didn’t overpower the space but flowed well between old and new. The first design detail that Lorna worked on with the client was the edges of the doors and worktops. The client really wanted a white, crisp modern kitchen so Lorna worked with her to select a luxury, handless option from the Intuo range. For a clean finish white matt lacquer finish doors with chamfered top edge detail were chosen to fit the units. Lorna then worked closely with the client and Corian the worktop supplier to ensure the Glacier White worktops could have a shark nose edge to match the door edges. Once these details were ironed out the rest of the design began to come together. A large island was planned; 1500mm width by 3750mm length; this size worked so well in the vast space -anything smaller would’ve looked out of place. Within the island, there is storage for glassware and dining crockery with sliding doors for ease of access. A caple wine fridge is also housed in the island unit. A downdraft Falmec extractor was chosen to fit in the island enabling the clean lines to remain when not in use. On the large island is a Miele induction hob with plenty of space for cooking and preparation. Quality Miele appliances were chosen for the kitchen; combi steam oven, single oven, warming drawer, larder fridge, larder freezer & dishwasher. There is plenty of larder storage in the tall back run. Whilst the client wanted an all-white kitchen Lorna advised using accents of the deep grey to help pull the kitchen and structure of the extension together. The outer frame of the tall bank echoed the colour used on the sliding door framework. Drawers were used over preference to cupboards to enable easier access to items. Grey tiles were chosen for the flooring and as the splashback to the large inset stainless steel sink which boasts aQuooker tap and Falmec waste disposal system. LED lighting detail used in wall units above sink run. These units were staggered in depth to create a framing effect to the sink area. Lorna our designer worked with the client for approximately a year to plan the new Intuo kitchen to perfection. She worked back and forth with the client to ensure the design was exactly as requested, particularly with the worktop edge detail working with the door edge detail. The client is delighted with the new Intuo kitchen! Photography by Lia Vittone

SPACES

Great work space and organization was accomplished in this kitchen remodel. Knotty alder cabinets add warmth, while the clean line of the subway tiles and granite give way for simple lines. The modular versailles floor tile add additional pattern.

On the wall that the dining room and the kitchen share, the cabinets are accessible from the dining room and from the kitchen and the pass through counter space is the perfect spot to lay out food for a family gathering. The wall cabinets with glass doors feature glass shelves and is lit from above so the light will filter all the way down.

Brown Kitchen with a Triple-bowl Sink 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!
