Combining Aesthetics To Create A Visually Interesting Space

Refresh Renovations Auckland West

It takes a special kind of client to embrace the eclectic design style. Eclecticism is an approach to design that combines elements from various periods, styles, and sources. It involves the deliberate mixing and matching of different aesthetics to create a unique and visually interesting space. Eclectic design celebrates the diversity of influences and allows for the expression of personal taste and creativity. The client a window dresser in her former life her own bold ideas right from the start, like the wallpaper for the kitchen splashback. The kitchen used to be in what is now the sitting area and was moved into the former dining space. Creating a large Kitchen with a large bench style table coming off it combines the spaces and allowed for steel tube elements in combination with stainless and timber benchtops. Combining materials adds depth and visual interest. The playful and unexpected elements like the elephant wallpaper in the kitchen create a lively and engaging environment. The swapping of the spaces created an open layout with seamless integration to the adjacent living area. The prominent focal point of this kitchen is the island. All the spaces allowed the client the freedom to experiment and showcase her personal style.

maison familale

Clémence Jeanjan Décoratrice d'intérieur

A la base de ce projet, des plans d'une maison contemporaine. Nos clients désiraient une ambiance chaleureuse, colorée aux volumes familiaux. Place à la visite ... Une fois la porte d'entrée passée, nous entrons dans une belle entrée habillée d'un magnifique papier peint bleu aux motifs dorés représentant la feuille du gingko. Au sol, un parquet chêne naturel filant sur l'ensemble de la pièce de vie. Allons découvrir cet espace de vie. Une grande pièce lumineuse nous ouvre les bras, elle est composée d'une partie salon, une partie salle à manger cuisine, séparée par un escalier architectural. Nos clients désiraient une cuisine familiale, pratique mais pure car elle est ouverte sur le reste de la pièce de vie. Nous avons opté pour un modèle blanc mat, avec de nombreux rangements toute hauteur, des armoires dissimulant l'ensemble des appareils de cuisine. Un très grand îlot central et une crédence miroir pour être toujours au contact de ses convives. Côté ambiance, nous avons créé une boîte colorée dans un ton terracotta rosé, en harmonie avec le carrelage de sol, très beau modèle esprit carreaux vieilli. La salle à manger se trouve dans le prolongement de la cuisine, une table en céramique noire entourée de chaises design en bois. Au sol nous retrouvons le parquet de l'entrée. L'escalier, pièce centrale de la pièce, mit en valeur par le papier peint gingko bleu intense. L'escalier a été réalisé sur mesure, mélange de métal et de bois naturel. Dans la continuité, nous trouvons le salon, lumineux grâce à ces belles ouvertures donnant sur le jardin. Cet espace se devait d'être épuré et pratique pour cette famille de 4 personnes. Nous avons dessiné un meuble sur mesure toute hauteur permettant d'y placer la télévision, l'espace bar, et de nombreux rangements. Une finition laque mate dans un bleu profond reprenant les codes de l'entrée. Restons au rez-de-chaussée, je vous emmène dans la suite parentale, baignée de lumière naturelle, le sol est le même que le reste des pièces. La chambre se voulait comme une suite d'hôtel, nous avons alors repris ces codes : un papier peint panoramique en tête de lit, de beaux luminaires, un espace bureau, deux fauteuils et un linge de lit neutre. Entre la chambre et la salle de bains, nous avons aménagé un grand dressing sur mesure, rehaussé par une couleur chaude et dynamique appliquée sur l'ensemble des murs et du plafond. La salle de bains, espace zen, doux. Composée d'une belle douche colorée, d'un meuble vasque digne d'un hôtel, et d'une magnifique baignoire îlot, permettant de bons moments de détente. Dernière pièce du rez-de-chaussée, la chambre d'amis et sa salle d'eau. Nous avons créé une ambiance douce, fraiche et lumineuse. Un grand papier peint panoramique en tête de lit et le reste des murs peints dans un vert d'eau, le tout habillé par quelques touches de rotin. La salle d'eau se voulait en harmonie, un carrelage imitation parquet foncé, et des murs clairs pour cette pièce aveugle. Suivez-moi à l'étage... Une première chambre à l'ambiance colorée inspirée des blocs de construction Lego. Nous avons joué sur des formes géométriques pour créer des espaces et apporter du dynamisme. Ici aussi, un dressing sur mesure a été créé. La deuxième chambre, est plus douce mais aussi traitée en Color zoning avec une tête de lit toute en rondeurs. Les deux salles d'eau ont été traitées avec du grès cérame imitation terrazzo, un modèle bleu pour la première et orangé pour la deuxième.

Rustic Modern Home

Heritage Woodworks

For this project, we were brought to install new custom cabinetry for this new home build. In particular, the builder with whom we were working requested a clean, modern look to perfectly complement the rustic accents throughout the rest of the home. Our cabinets can be seen throughout the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry providing this look and feel.

La Mesa Kitchen Remodel

Lars Remodeling & Design

Pairing their love of Mid-Century Modern design and collecting with the enjoyment they get out of entertaining at home, this client’s kitchen remodel in Linda Vista hit all the right notes. Set atop a hillside with sweeping views of the city below, the first priority in this remodel was to open up the kitchen space to take full advantage of the view and create a seamless transition between the kitchen, dining room, and outdoor living space. A primary wall was removed and a custom peninsula/bar area was created to house the client’s extensive collection of glassware and bar essentials on a sleek shelving unit suspended from the ceiling and wrapped around the base of the peninsula. Light wood cabinetry with a retro feel was selected and provided the perfect complement to the unique backsplash which extended the entire length of the kitchen, arranged to create a distinct ombre effect that concentrated behind the Wolf range. Subtle brass fixtures and pulls completed the look while panels on the built in refrigerator created a consistent flow to the cabinetry. Additionally, a frosted glass sliding door off of the kitchen disguises a dedicated laundry room full of custom finishes. Raised built-in cabinetry houses the washer and dryer to put everything at eye level, while custom sliding shelves that can be hidden when not in use lessen the need for bending and lifting heavy loads of laundry. Other features include built-in laundry sorter and extensive storage.

Eclectic Kitchen with an Integrated 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 Eclectic 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!
