Leatherwood Kitchen, Master Bathroom and Guest Bathroom

Our clients came to us wanting to update their Heather Ridge Estates 2006 Frisco home. They had lived in the home for over 10 years and were ready for a change but didn’t want to move. They lived directly across from Cottonwood Park, so they definitely weren’t going to find that view anywhere else! They wanted to lighten up the kitchen without removing or painting the beautiful dark wood cabinets and they wanted to update two bathrooms. In the master bathroom, they wanted to keep the cabinets but paint them but wanted to gut and replace everything else. They wanted to do the same in the guest bath, which was very traditional. They wanted something more modern with clean lines. In the kitchen, we installed sleek Silestone Calacatta Gold Quartz- polished countertops with a timeless Emser Motif in Lace White 4x12 backsplash. Class stainless Moen Arbor MotionSense Wave High Arc Kitchen Faucet was installed above their Blanco Silgranit double bowl undermount sink. The existing floors remained as is and they kept their existing pendant lights that hung over the kitchen peninsula but it all looks different now. Before, this kitchen was much darker, but now, it is classic and timeless. In the master bathroom, the cabinets were painted Sherwin Williams Elephant Ear and topped them with polished Silestone Calacatta Gold Quartz. Greyson vanity lights in polished chrome were installed above each his and hers sinks. Two Kohler Caxton Oval 17x14 under-mount bathroom sinks were installed with polished chrome Kohler Archer sink faucet. The shower was completely gutted and redone. The shower floor is a cool Bedrosians Hemisphere Floor & Wall Mosaic in Balboa tile. Shower sidewalls, as well as the main floor tile, is Purestone 12x24 tile in Bianco Matte Finish. Kohler Artifacts Showerhead with Katalyst Spray in Polished Chrome was installed, as well as a shower arm. Kohler Archer Deck-mount bath faucet in polished chrome was installed. The tub deck was changed to the Purestone 12x24 tile in Bianco with a Matte Finish. Purestone 12x24 tile in Bianco Muretto Textured Finish was used for the Tub/Shower Accent Back Wall. In their guest bath, everything except the bathtub was replaced. We started with a Shaker style Chiffon painted finish single vanity by Quality Cabinets, topped with polished Silestone Calacatta Gold Quartz. Our clients chose a Kohler Caxton Oval 17x14 under-mount bathroom sink and Kohler Archer Sink Faucet keeping consistency throughout their house. Kohler Archer hardware was also used in the bathtub/shower combo. An Ashton 3 Light 23" wide vanity light with clear glass shades in polished chrome was installed above the 25.6” Travis Round Wood Accent Mirror to finish it off. This bathroom is completely renewed and classic, as is the master bathroom and their kitchen!

Cabinet-S-Top

In this 1930’s home, the kitchen had been previously remodeled in the 90’s. The goal was to make the kitchen more functional, add storage and bring back the original character of the home. This was accomplished by removing the adjoining wall between the kitchen and dining room and adding a peninsula with a breakfast bar where the wall once existed. A redesign of the original breakfast nook created a space for the refrigerator, pantry, utility closet and coffee bar which camouflages the radiator. An exterior door was added so the homeowner could gain access to their back patio. The homeowner also desired a better solution for their coats, so a small mudroom nook was created in their hallway. The products installed were Waypoint 630F Cherry Spice Cabinets, Sangda Falls Quartz with Double Roundover Edge on the Countertop, Crystal Shores Random Linear Glass Tile - Sapphire Lagoon Backsplash, and Hendrik Pendant Lights.

This kitchen needs to have a day-to-day function and also function for corporate entertaining. As such, electric doors open up to a large back end, where a complete scullery can be found. Photography by Kallan MacLeod For inspiration, we drew from a palette of rich, earthy colours. Under-cabinet lighting complements these tones well, adding a softness to the clean lines and sleekness of the design. We chose hard-wearing and long-lasting Corian and black glass to create this unique look.

Kitchen Pantry 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!
