Copper is a prevalent material in this expansive kitchen for both the pots and accessories. The black base and ceiling moldings accentuate and mirror the black trim of the cabinets. The oven deep and dark is a dramatic focal point of the kitchen.

Traditional Kitchen Remodel Stevenson Ranch

American Home Improvement Inc.

This is a traditional kitchen layout with stainless steel appliances and an island with a farmhouse sink. The cabinets are a mixture of black and white colors with an accent of black and white glass tile back splash that tie them in together. This kitchen flow is ideal for large families or entertaining making it easy to interact with guests while working in the kitchen at the same time.

This Knoxville kitchen was detailed by Law's Interiors. Law's worked with The Iron Studio to create this mild steel (iron) vent hood and back splash. The back splash has a hand chased bird detail in the center. The chandelier above the island in the foreground was also created by The Iron Sudio.

The large kitchen is anything but conventional. The concept of multiform, multipurpose is styled on the latest architectural kitchen designs from Europe, which is also now starting to appear in architectural magazines in Hong Kong. ‘It is not only practical, but also very spacious and reflects smart planning’, says Agatha. The free standing stainless steel Westinghouse 900 wide oven, along with the large stainless steel 900 wide designer Luxury Frankie range hood, gives the kitchen the Italian good looks, but with Swedish efficiency. While the oversized original art deco pressed metal splashback, custom made in black from the original mould, provides a contemporary twist as seen in today’s luxury magazines. The large six-person people dining table in the kitchen is practical for casual eating, and also doubles as a preparation area. While the free standing overlapped preparation area doubles perfectly as a serving area when entertaining. The pantry, originally a fireplace, is deceptively spacious. It has been stripped back to create a two-door, double the depth walk-in pantry with an automatic LED light on a sensor. The heights of the bench tops have also been modified to suite today’s ergonomics. ‘If you have a bad back, hip, neck or are gifted with height, this will ease your pain. The kickers also got a lift, for those who like to wear pointy shoes, as they always mark and chip the bottom of the cupboards’, says Agatha. The contemporary contrasting central pendants in green are on a dimmable switch, along with the natural ball pendant on the side of the sink, bringing the outside elements in, with views to the ocean. The layers of texture in the materials selected play a roll by adding depth to the design. The colour of cabinetry matches the paint colour throughout, while the dark bench tops complement the feature woodwork detailing.

Kitchen with Black Splashback and Metal 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!
