Love your Kitchen

Kitchenflair Preston

"mr & mrs love originally called in with their extension project. their aim was to create a functional/ social space to also incorporate a dining area and dresser feature. they particularly liked the shaker 1909 in-frame style kitchen and eventually settled on our mornington range from second nature in partridge grey the design we achieved was a timeless though contemporary look with built in neff ovens and american fridge with a nod to traditional using a belfast sink feature. the darker grey quartz top highlight the pale units as contrast." "a solid wood piece was designed at one end of the large island to add some style detail and create a more bespoke look, making the kitchen more unique. additional design features included pull out trays near the cooking area, perrin & rowe oberon taps, kessebohmer clever storage pull outs and under pelmet lighting one of the challenges was designing around what was a central support post that came in where the island was situated. mr love spoke to his contractors and managed to lose the post which opened up the view from the dining side and gave a more functional island. there was also a ceiling support beam that we designed around with lower height wall unit to incorporate this." shuan bond, designer at leyland

A Different Look

Templer Interiors

A number of small rooms an fiddly spaces were opened up to create this massive, open plan kitchen with all the mod cons and loads of storage space. A huge island with Gaggenau module cooktop and disappearing down draft ventilation satisfies the most discerning cooks. A cleverly raised bar that looks like it's floating seats four. Clever wall cabinets and open shelves maintain the feeling of open space. A clever corner holds double ovens along with display shelves and more storage.

Custom Kitchen

Jessy Krol Designs LLC

In order to get a kitchen like no other, one has to come up with an idea from scratch. The client requested a look that bridged the classic Ralph Lauren with the chic Ralph Lauren. Using bendix beaded and greek key mouldings, Jess designed a kitchen that had the feel of furniture, The bold addition of color in the glass interior cabinets added a great energy to the space and was modernized by the glittering Carerra mosaic backsplash. Brass lion add distinction to the cabinets, but nothing is as surprising as the antique Belgian mounts above the stove!

Eclectic Kitchen with Metallic Splashback 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!
