Anouska Tamony Designs- Architecture & Interiors

This moody German Style Kitchen is designed around simplicity and clean lines. Every aspect of this design is based on minimalism, so a glass splashback was never up for debate. Similar to the cabinetry itself, the glass splashbacks minimal lines, and neutral colour do nothing to detract from the room or view. This large space is over five metres from the window (and source of light) however, the glass splashback acts as a mirror, reflecting both light and the sea view!

INTERNI INDUSTRIAL CON UN TOCCO DI COLORE

Modulor Progetti

L’incontro tra stili differenti si armonizza negli interni di questo appartamento privato in cui il colore diventa la firma stilistica. Tra arredi moderni e finiture industrial si concretizza un progetto quasi scenografico dello studio CLS Architects. La zona living si presenta come un ambiente molto ampio dai soffitti alti, sul cui fondo è posto il tavolo da pranzo arricchito da un importante chandelier moderno. Sulla parete laterale ampie vetrate, che provvedono illuminazione naturale e una scala molto delicata ed essenziale che conduce alla zona notte. Frontalmente si alternano elementi a tutta altezza che riprendono per finiture e colori il pavimento nero uniforme. Una sorta di continuità visiva interrotta solo dalla tappezzeria con grafica contemporanea e un importante divano dalla forma arrotondata color senape. La libreria a parete in ferro cerato nero presenta i ripiani orizzontali in una finitura lignea che rimanda agli arredi tipicamente moderni presenti come il tavolino e le poltroncine dello studio con imbottitura colorata. Anche in questo seconda stanza sono sicuramente i profili lineari delle librerie a riempire visivamente le ampie pareti chiare. Al centro un tavolino moderno rivisitato in chiave industrial con l’aggiunta di importanti ruote. Anche la cucina ripropone quest’alternanza stilistica in cui l’assetto industriale è sicuramente il filo conduttore. L’isola centrale dai rivestimenti metallici è dotata infatti di tutte le attrezzature per la cottura e preparazione dei pasti e sovrastata da una cappa di design dalle forme dinamiche. La parte restante seppur padroneggiata da un top in acciaio inox con retrocucina e spalla di chiusura dello stesso materiale, introduce pensili e volumi contenitori inferiori in laccato opaco bianco. Uno stile contemporaneo che dona ulteriore luminosità. A caratterizzare l’ambiente circostante, un’icona del design moderno: la poltrona Eames Lounge Chair. Sulla parte di fondo una porta scorrevole in metallo rustico accompagna un tavolo importante in legno naturale e una credenza sospesa dai toni caldi.

Kitchen with a Drop-in Sink and Stainless Steel 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!
