Room to breathe: mit ihren fein mattierten Glasfronten in Achatgrau, die sich L-förmig an die Wand schmiegen und in der Mitte Platz für einen großzügigen Essbereich lassen, verströmt die Küche wohnliche Gelassenheit. Ein Gaskamin und das in die Front integrierte Bücherregal unterstreichen den wohnlichen Charakter der Küche.

A gas fireplace and the bookshelf that is integrated into the kitchen front underline the kitchen‘s homely character.

DRAMATIC & SOPHISTICATED CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN | REDBRIDGE

Anderson Sinclair Ltd

Exquisite gold accents meet a sleek row of stunning textural black ceramic doors to create a striking and sophisticated deluxe atmosphere. However, this incredible East London interior certainly isn’t a case of style over substance. This outstanding kitchen boasts remarkable functionality to match its exceptional good looks. With a full set of Siemens appliances, including a 5-burner gas hob and domino flex induction cooktop, a Quooker boiling water tap and a CDA wine cooler, this breath-taking kitchen leaves nothing to be desired in terms of its amazing cooking capabilities. A simple monochrome colour palette allows the details of this dramatic interior to do the talking. The brushed aluminium finish on the kitchen island and the luxurious gloss black breakfast bar create a bold contrast against the organic textural surface of the tall cabinets. Sumptuous accents of gold distinguish the plush velvet bar stools, stylish 1810 zenuno sink and gorgeous geometric pendant lights adding a contemporary luxe feel to the space. The striking modern circle lights reflect beautifully off the black glass breakfast bar bringing an added touch of drama and sophistication to our client’s East London home. The meticulously designed and installed row of full-height cabinets hides a fantastic secret. Our London clients also asked us to design a practical and stylish utility space which we have created access to via an ingenious hidden door built into the row of units. Bringing together exceptional style and luxury with state-of-the-art functionality, our East London clients were delighted with their outstanding kitchen and utility transformation.

Refacing Kitchen in Barnwood Saves Granite

Kitchen Magic

So this customer has a beautiful gray granite countertop. I mean gorgeous! And lets add that it probably was quite the investment during one of their remodels. Many times, homeowners think they will upgrade the countertops to stone and it will transform the kitchen. Not the case. It typically makes the kitchen cabinets look even worse. So what do we do now? Cabinet refacing really got this homeowner out of a pickle! You can't move a granite countertop, it will most likely crack at its weakest point. Cabinet refacing is the only answer, unless you want to throw away a perfectly good and loved granite countertop. This homeowner chose our new color, Barnwood for her refacing project. Why not? it's pretty, trendy and rich. Really adds character to this kitchen design. The black floors made it a sophisticated design and balances the room perfectly. Every room should have 1 black component in it--choosing the floors was genius. You can always brighten up with decor items, like red or orange to add a touches of color. Bold and beautiful!

Eat-in Kitchen with Glass Benchtops 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!
