The star of this South Carolina mountain home's traditional kitchen is the cast stone hood hanging above a black Lacanche range. An antique brass faucet and pot filler add vintage sheen and coordinate with the range’s hardware. Cabinets finished in a light taupe paint with chocolate glaze are accented in restoration glass with lead caming and pewter hardware. Black Pearl granite, which has been brushed and enhanced, tops the counters and climbs the backsplash. The stone's flecks of silver, gold and gray add depth. The expansive island and large white farm sink provide ample space for food prep.

G&M Craftsman Cabinets

When the collaboration between client, builder and cabinet maker comes together perfectly the end result is one we are all very proud of. The clients had many ideas which evolved as the project was taking shape and as the budget changed. Through hours of planning and preparation the end result was to achieve the level of design and finishes that the client, builder and cabinet expect without making sacrifices or going over budget. Soft Matt finishes, solid timber, stone, brass tones, porcelain, feature bathroom fixtures and high end appliances all come together to create a warm, homely and sophisticated finish. The idea was to create spaces that you can relax in, work from, entertain in and most importantly raise your young family in. This project was fantastic to work on and the result shows that why would you ever want to leave home?

A CLASSIC HUNTER GREEN SHAKER KITCHEN

The Kitchen Store

Our client envisioned an inviting, open plan area that effortlessly blends the beauty of contemporary design with the charm of a country-style kitchen. They wanted a central hub, a sociable cooking and seating area, where the whole family could gather, share stories, and create lasting memories. For this exceptional project, we utilised the finest craftsmanship and chose Masterclass furniture in Hunter Green and Farringdon Grey. The combination brings a harmonious blend of sophistication and rustic allure to the kitchen space. To complement the furniture and enhance its elegance, we selected solid oak worktops, with the oak’s warm tones and natural grains offering a classic aesthetic while providing durability and functionality for everyday use. We installed top-of-the-line Neff appliances to ensure that cooking and meal preparations are an absolute joy. The seamless integration of modern technology enhances the efficiency of the kitchen, making it a pleasure to work in. Our client's happiness is the ultimate measure of our success. We are thrilled to share that our efforts have left our client beaming with satisfaction. After completing the kitchen project, we were honoured to be trusted with another project, installing a utility/boot room for the client. In the client's own words: "After 18 months, I now have the most fabulous kitchen/dining/family space and a utility/boot room. It was a long journey as I was having an extension built and some internal walls removed, and I chose to have the fitting done in two stages, wanting the same fitters for both jobs. But it's been worth the wait. Catherine's design skills helped me visualise from the architect's plans what each space would look like, making the best use of storage space and worktops. The kitchen fitters had an incredible eye for detail, and everything was finished to a very high standard. Was it an easy journey? To be honest, no, as we were working through Brexit and Covid, but The Kitchen Store worked well with my builders and always communicated with me in a timely fashion regarding any delays. The Kitchen Store also came on site to check progress and the quality of finish. I love my new space and am excited to be hosting a big family Christmas this year." We are immensely proud to have been part of this wonderful journey, and we look forward to crafting more extraordinary spaces for our valued clients.

Kitchen with a Farmhouse Sink and Black Appliances 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!
