We removed the old ikea kitchen to bring the house into a more contemporary feel. Muted tones compliment each other while a door to the outdoor pool and larger window provide a connection.

Aménagement d'un rez-de-chaussée

Beaux Intérieurs

Un jeune couple, venant d’acheter une maison mitoyenne des années soixante souhaitait, avant d’emménager, refaire tout le rez-de-chaussée. L’espace existant avant les travaux comprenait une cuisine, une salle à manger ainsi qu’un salon, chaque pièce étant indépendante l’une de l’autre. Cependant, le couple voulait une grande pièce de vie style loft industriel et pour ce faire, casser les murs existants pour ouvrir l’espace sur soixante mètres carrés. Dans la salle à manger et dans le salon, ils voulaient impérativement du parquet qui apporte à l’ensemble un grand confort et l’aspect cosy de la grande pièce. Cependant, pour faciliter l’entretien et minimiser les coûts, ils ont opté pour un carrelage effet parquet. Nos clients souhaitaient avoir une verrière pour marquer le style loft industriel. Nous avons donc installé une structure en métal et verre style atelier qui sépare la cuisine de la salle à manger et s’étend sur toute la longueur du couloir. Ceci a l’avantage d’élargir le volume. Cette même structure a été choisie pour l’arrière cuisine. Ainsi la lumière et l’énergie circulent. Les murs datant de plus de cinquante ans ont été lissés et peints en blanc pour rendre l’espace parfaitement homogène. Dans la cuisine, le blanc domine ce qui permet de combiner facilement les accessoires ou les appareils électroménagers en couleurs. Nous avions donc un triple objectif : styliser, illuminer et créer un lieu de vie harmonieux. Pour ce faire, nous avons tout repensé, du sol jusqu’au plafond. Ce sont des IPN (poutres en métal) qui viennent remplacer les murs porteurs en apportant, par leur style très contemporain, beaucoup de cachet à la maison. Elles ont été repeintes en gris anthracite, soulignant les lignes de séparation des pièces tout en respectant le goût de nos clients. Dans la cuisine ainsi que dans les toilettes, le choix s’est porté sur des carreaux de ciment style vintage. Ces deux genres indémodables se marient parfaitement bien et contribuent également à délimiter les espaces. Pour la verrière, nous avons choisi la même couleur anthracite que pour les IPN. Outre le fait qu’elle soit l’élément décoratif central, elle est aussi fonctionnelle. En effet, côté couloir, nous avons positionné une tablette sur laquelle prendront place quelques bibelots. Côté cuisine, elle accueille le plan de travail stratifié imitation béton, pour soutenir le style loft industriel Nos clients ont choisi par la suite de peindre un des murs du salon de couleur bleu canard, soulignant ainsi le style rétro que l’on retrouve aussi dans quelques meubles et objets de décoration. Les portes aussi sont peintes en blanc mat.

The Forest Way Renovation: The Three-Toned Kitchen

Mavella Home

We kept the majority of the existing cabinetry and painted it white, modified the existing island to make it larger and painted it black, and purchased custom white oak pantry cabinets by the fridge for much needed storage. We removed the upper cabinetry on one of the walls and replaced them with floating shelves to make the space feel more open. We added quartzite countertops with white subway tiles and balanced it out with brass pendants and hardware for contrast. We also added floating shelves to the area next to the kitchen to create a dedicated coffee bar station.

Contemporary Family Home in Helen's Bay

Adornas Kitchens & Interiors

This contemporary, family friendly space is open plan including a dining area, and lounge with wood burning stove. The footprint is compact, however this kitchen boasts lots of storage within the tall cabinets, and also a very efficiently used island. The homeowner opted for a matte cashmere door, and a feature reclaimed oak door. The concrete effect worktop is actually a high-quality laminate that adds depth to the otherwise simple design. A double larder houses not only the ambient food, but also items that typically sit out on worktops such as the kettle and toaster. The homeowners are able to simply close the door to conceal any mess! Jim Heal- Collings & Heal Photography

Brooklyn Kitchen Renovation

Azy LaBelle Design

Our overall design concept for the renovation of this space was to optimize the functional space for a family of five and accentuate the existing window. In the renovation, we eliminated a huge centrally located kitchen island which acted as an obstacle to the feeling of the space and focused on creating an elegant and balanced plan promoting movement, simplicity and precisely executed details. We held strong to having the kitchen cabinets, wherever possible, float off the floor to give the subtle impression of lightness avoiding a bottom heavy look. The cabinets were painted a pale tinted green to reduce the empty effect of light flooding a white kitchen leaving a softness and complementing the gray tiles. To integrate the existing dining room with the kitchen, we simply added some classic dining chairs and a dynamic light fixture, juxtaposing the geometry of the boxy kitchen with organic curves and triangular lights to balance the clean design with an inviting warmth.

Kitchen with Cement Tiles and Grey Benchtop 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.
