Beauty Point Residence, Mosman NSW 2088

Bayside Architectural Elegance Meets Absolute Bespoke Luxury Secluded at the end of an exclusive cul-de-sac, this exquisite, luxurious yet understated, utterly sublime residence exudes utter class. With striking cutting edge design, created under the careful guidance of Heather Buttrose and Associates, every line and aspect of this property maximises its perfect due north aspect and extensive Middle Harbour water views. Sleek, minimal lines characterise this residence with an impressive and contemporary 16m wide (approx.) front facade that sets the tone for the home. With direct level entry access into the home, bespoke details and beautiful finishes add a richness evidenced in the stunning custom entry door, the stone flooring, cleverly hidden door systems and the unique American White Oak wall and cabinetry paneling featured throughout. The generously proportioned floorplan showcases a masterful use of space, with sprawling indoor and outdoor living areas including a stunning 15m pool and rooms with the additional ability to be subtlety transformed, depending on circumstances and/or individual requirements. Security gated and exclusively private, the attention to detail exemplified throughout is truly remarkable.

To keep with the open wall theme, half the wall was removed to allow for extra seating at the peninsula. A stainless steel recirculating vent was placed above range.

Suburban Total Remodel

Deskins Group LLC

This project started when the client moved in to their new home and realized that the builder grade cabinets would not close with their plates inside., and it developed from there. We installed new custom cherry cabinets, granite countertops, appliances, can lights, and more. We removed the built-in oven and installed a beverage center, and we used 28" lower cabinets and 20" deep upper cabinets along the wall with the refrigerator to make the full size refrigerator look counter depth.

Balham Maple Kitchen designed and made by Tim Wood

Tim Wood Limited

This kitchen has a modern, clean and crisp look. The kitchen furniture is made from maple with integrated handles in all of the base cupboards and drawers, which are all finger jointed and on soft close runners. A Mercury oven provides a focal point and is set off by worktops of Corian. The kitchen features a built in steam oven, microwave and larder cupboard which includes racking for jams, herbs and spices. The owners of this kitchen both love gadgets and asked for all their specialist appliances to be incorporated within the given space. The room also had to double up as a home cinema, a study area and an eating area which could be expanded when necessary. Designed, hand made and photographed by Tim Wood

Kitchen with a Triple-bowl Sink and Recessed-panel Cabinets 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!
