We increased the width of the kitchen by claiming the square footage in a hallway, enabling us to have a much wider island, wider aisles, and 30”-deep counters on the sink wall. TSS cabinets, high-gloss laminate, and walnut create a "rhythm" to balance the feel of the connected spaces. Photo by Jesse Young

The Newlywed

Nelson Construction , LLC

Photography by: Amy Birrer This lovely beach cabin was completely remodeled to add more space and make it a bit more functional. Many vintage pieces were reused in keeping with the vintage of the space. We carved out new space in this beach cabin kitchen, bathroom and laundry area that was nonexistent in the previous layout. The original drainboard sink and gas range were incorporated into the new design as well as the reused door on the small reach-in pantry. The white tile countertop is trimmed in nautical rope detail and the backsplash incorporates subtle elements from the sea framed in beach glass colors. The client even chose light fixtures reminiscent of bulkhead lamps. The bathroom doubles as a laundry area and is painted in blue and white with the same cream painted cabinets and countertop tile as the kitchen. We used a slightly different backsplash and glass pattern here and classic plumbing fixtures.

Stainless steel plinth and bespoke stainless steel handles complete the design. Within the island there is an induction hob, with ceiling extractor over, small prep sink and walnut end-grain chopping board which sits on top of curved cupboards

Light British Kitchen in Horsham, West Sussex

Alexander Kitchens

Light British Kitchen in Horsham, West Sussex Designer George has made the most of a newly created kitchen and dining space in this Horsham property, with a light and bright kitchen theme, fitted with high-end amenities. The design and installation work for this project has been organised in harmony with building work, shaping the space for the wonderful kitchen and dining area it now houses. The building work sought to increase the natural light into the area of this property, with the Cashmere coloured kitchen a perfect addition to maintain light throughout the area. The layout of the kitchen has been designed to make the room feel spacious, utilising a galley style with plenty of space in-between runs, plus a full-height bank of units bearing appliances and further storage towards the rear. Kitchen Furniture To match the feel of the space, furniture with subtle impact has been used. Cabinetry and units for this project are from British supplier Trend Interiors’ ‘Slab’ collection, which with a Cashmere painted finish, provides the minimalist texture perfectly suited for this project. The placement of the furniture has been designed with the convenience of the client in mind. A run of units is dedicated to cooking, with appliances and plentiful pan storage close to each other for functional ease. A second run contains cleaning facilities and general storage in addition to a custom laundry area integrated behind view. A large bank of units at the end of the kitchen is home to more appliances and extra storage. Kitchen Appliances To add important function to the space, a high specification of appliances have been included. Neff cooking appliances offer extreme durability, with the models opted for including additional features like pyrolytic cleaning and flexInduction. This client’s own American style fridge freezer is situated next to a CDA wine cabinet, which provides precise temperature control for up to twenty-four wine bottles and is seamlessly built-into furniture. A Quooker boiling tap replaces a conventional kettle in this kitchen, with cold, hot, and one-hundred degree boiling water available from the single chrome faucet. Kitchen Accessories Caesarstone quartz work surfaces are used throughout the kitchen, chosen in the neutral Ocean Foam finish, which bring incredible durability and a gleaming sparkle to the space. Splashbacks have also been opted for beneath wall units, with mid-grey coloured glass used on one side and a tile effect motif used on the other. Both adding ambience as well as easy cleaning properties. Durability is also a huge strength of the Blanco Silgranite sink, composed of granite and highly resistant to scratches, this has been selected in a mid-grey colour, which nicely fits in with the surroundings in this kitchen. Undercabinet spot-lighting features for a ambience as well as increased visibility when using the kitchen. Our Kitchen Design & Installation Service This project is another fantastic design that perfectly achieves the initial brief with a clear theme, high-specification of appliances, plus individual inclusions that make this kitchen unique to the clients.

Kitchen with an Integrated Sink and Glass Tile 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 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!
