Une maison aux allures bohème chic – Projet Les Tonnelles

Mon Concept Habitation

Direction les hauteurs de Sète pour découvrir un projet récemment livré par notre agence de Montpellier. Une mission différente de nos autres projets : l’aménagement et la décoration d’une maison secondaire destinée aux locations saisonnières. Vous nous suivez ? Complètement ouverte sur la nature environnante grâce à son extension et ses grandes baies vitrées cette maison typique sur deux niveaux sent bon l’été. Caroline, notre architecte d’intérieur qui a travaillé sur le projet, a su retranscrire l’atmosphère paisible du sud de la France dans chaque pièce en mariant couleurs neutres et matières naturelles comme le béton ciré, le bois fraké bariolé, le lin ou encore le rotin. On craque pour son extérieur végétalisé et sa pool house qui intègre une élégante cuisine d’été. Rien de tel que des espaces parfaitement aménagés pour se détendre et respirer. La maison dispose également de plusieurs chambres colorées avec salles d’eau privatives, idéales pour prendre soin de soi et profiter de son intimité. Résultat : une maison aux allures bohème chic, dans laquelle on passerait bien nos journées.

This kitchen and bathroom remodel was about introducing a modern look and sustainable comfortable materials to accommodate a busy and growing family of four. The choice of cork flooring was for durability and the warm tones that we could easily match in the cabinetry and brass hardware.

This space was the living room before. We opened up the floorplan, painted the walls white, added subway tile to the ceiling and opened up the space with big windows that look out to 5 acres. We did white concrete countertops, black matte cabinets and black chrome appliances

Blue Sky Thinking

Mowlem & Co

Mowlem& Co: Virtuoso kitchen This award-winning kitchen by Julia Brown effortlessly combines the classic with the contemporary, through the application of thoughtful styling and a clever use of colour. The timeless framed, shaker-style furniture is hand-painted in Farrow & Ball’s Railings, making a striking contrast with use of a Caesarstone worktop in raw concrete to the island unit and the beautiful Carrara Gioia marble on the splashback. There’s an industrial quality to the chocolate bronze metal handles that are recessed into the furniture doors, and the Siemens ovens are discreetly integrated to the island, which is raised on robust legs for a nod to the chic freestanding look. The design maximises both working space and opportunities for social interaction, with storage optimised by the extra height wall units that take advantage of the period property’s high ceilings. Pendant lamps, stylish stools and a herringbone white-washed Oak wooden floor add the perfect finishing touches.

Nomad Eleven

Kitchen

Sharon Campbell Architects

This Kitchen is both fresh and calming in appearance, utilising natural materials and simple detailing. It contains all the functional needs of a family kitchen whilst concealing all the clutter in the ample storage, and it sits seamlessly within the open plan living space. It is surrounded by windows on three sides giving it a direct connection to the courtyard, and gardens and ample light and ventilation.

Shooting Star Residence

Dynia Architects

The central, public wing of this residence is elevated 4 feet above grade with a ceiling that rises to opposite corners – to the northwest for visual access to the mountain faces and to the south east for morning light. This is achieved by means of a diagonal valley extending from the southwest entry to the northeast family room. Offset in plan and section, two story, private wings extend north and south forming a ‘pinwheel’ plan which forms distinctly programmed garden spaces in each quadrant. The exterior vocabulary creatively abides the traditional design guidelines of the subdivision, which required gable roofs and wood siding. Inside, the house is open and sleek, using concrete for shear walls and spatial divisions that allow the ceiling to freely sculpt the main space of the residence.

Venice - Desert Modern Plaster

Lion Builder Construction Inc

Royal Avenue, Glen Huntly

M.J.Harris Group

Located in Melbourne’s South-East, retaining the original charm of this Federation home was crucial. Simple, clean lines are enhanced through contrasting textures and tactile materiality to form a balanced kitchen renovation design. When entering this space, your eyes are immediately drawn to the Charcoal Herringbone floor tile that leads to the fluted glass door separating the kitchen and the butler’s pantry. The contrasting pallet is balanced by the 60mm concrete benchtop which carries slightly up the splashback to create a small ledge that not only looks good but is a functional feature. To highlight the high ceilings, we carried the range hood up and added a skylight to flood the space with natural light that reflects onto the perfectly imperfect zellige tile. Working within the existing perimeters of the kitchen, we have created a timeless space that can adapt to any style.

Kitchen with Concrete Benchtops and White 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. 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!
