Cherry Cabinets in a Modern Kitchen

Denise Quade Design

The linear glass tile was brought all the way up to the ceiling behind the stainless steel hood. The drawer space underneath the induction cooktop is shallow but perfect for flat knife storage. The pulls were put on horizontally for a more modern look.

SHOWSTOPPING MINIMALIST CHIC KITCHEN | NEWHALL

Anderson Sinclair Ltd

A BREATH-TAKING BACKDROP TO HOSTING & ENTERTAINING The impressive style and dramatic ambience at the heart of this exceptional kitchen are undoubtedly bolstered by the clean and minimal simplicity of our design. An uninterrupted row of wall-to-ceiling units in a pure and soft matt graphite seamlessly envelops the space while luxurious Dekton marble-effect worktops and splashback create a cohesive sense of opulence and sophistication. The simple and understated palette of materials and surfaces epitomises elegance and refinement. From the stepped overhead cabinetry and extra narrow plinths to the waterfall island worktop, this exquisite kitchen is all about attention to detail. The perfectly executed bespoke features enhance the contemporary composition of surfaces, highlighting the flawless workmanship and quality of the finish. Combining state-of-the-art appliances with Mereway’s award-winning Q-Line cabinet range, this Essex kitchen is simply unrivalled when it comes to functionality. Mereway’s innovative furniture design ingeniously conceals ample accessible push to open storage, including a fantastic pantry cupboard as well as strong and durable drawers for pans and crockery. Spacious Sub-Zero & Wolf ovens are ideal for hosting fabulous dinner parties and family feasts. Furthermore, placing the induction hob on the island accompanied by a discreet overhead Air Uno extractor allows our client to socialise with guests while cooking. A Quooker boiling water tap combined with a stylish Franke sink makes another practical and efficient addition to the space alongside the outstanding Siemen’s double fridge-freezer. This striking and precisely united kitchen interior combines both exquisite looks and superb functionality to create a breath-taking focal point to our Newhall client’s home.

Family was key to all of our decisions for the extensive renovation of this 1930s house. Our client’s had already lived in the house for several years, and as their four children grew so too did the demands on their house. Functionality and practicality were of the utmost importance and our interior needed to facilitate a highly organised, streamlined lifestyle while still being warm and welcoming. Now each child has their own bag & blazer drop off zone within a light filled utility room, and their own bedroom with future appropriate desks and storage. Part of our response to the brief for simplicity was to use vibrant colour on simple, sculptural joinery and so that the interior felt complete without layers of accessories and artworks. This house has been transformed from a dark, maze of rooms into an open, welcoming, light filled contemporary family home. This project required extensive re-planning and reorganising of space in order to make daily life streamlined and to create greater opportunities for family interactions and fun.

Contemporary Red Kitchen 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 Contemporary 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!
