Bakes & Kropp - Bridgehampton, NY Kitchen Remodel

Bakes & Kropp remodeled this former showhouse kitchen to reflect the personalities of its owners—and with 450 square feet to work with, the team had plenty of space to be creative. The kitchen now includes two sinks, two dishwashers, two fridges, and a large French Top stove to support the owner’s preferred cooking style. The space is elegant but comfortable and carefully blends a mixture of walnut, painted cabinetry, stone, and metal accents. Just a few standout design details include the walnut ceiling patterning, the metal mesh overlay on the cabinet doors sourced from Armac Martin, and a custom range hood unlike any the Bakes & Kropp team had created before.

The elegant grey hues of the Italian Bianco Carrara marble, which contrasts beautifully with the textured finish of dark -toned Polytec Empire Oak laminate, and the green-grey Legato Bespoke Island panels all balance the colour scheme that created this luxurious kitchen. The entertainers island with double sided cabinetry and loads of seating room also makes a magnificent prep area, adjacent to the two built in wall ovens, placed right next to the large pantry. An absolute delight to be in.

The kitchen is the main eye-catcher in this great room, with natural stone countertops and Miele appliances in stainless steel. The countertop is black quartz that stretches across the length of the entire wall. The island in the middle has double usage; it's a cooking and breakfast island, and the cookery area has both a gas stove and an electric plate cooker. A kitchen hood and pendant lights hang from the ceiling above. Anyone cooking here can enjoy the views outside while interacting and socializing with the people in the room. The sliding glass wall of this great room opens entirely, extending the living area outdoors onto the deck. The extended dining table is perfect for entertaining or enjoying a large meal with family and friends.

A symmetrical kitchen opens to the family room in this open floor plan. The island provides a thick wood eating ledge with a dekton work surface. A grey accent around the cooktop is split by the metallic soffit running through the space. A smaller work kitchen/open pantry is off to one side for additional prep space.

Everydayz a Holiday

Studio Dearborn

A renovation of a waterfront colonial that was prompted by a severe flood resulted in a completely reinvented home. The kitchen overlooks the water, and is designed to maximize light and views. Sarah Robertson of Studio Dearborn helped her client renovate their kitchen to capture the views and vibe they were after. An appliance wall takes care of the business in this kitchen, and a pantry door was designed to seamlessly integrate into the cabinetry. The range was placed between two windows that overlook the covered porch, and the homeowners collection of artisan pieces are displayed on shelving across the windows. The custom zinc hood gives the kitchen a feeling of age and patina. Thoughtful storage is everywhere in this kitchen, including charging drawers, pullouts for cookware, trays, utensils and condiments, and a customized dog feeding station! Photos Adam Macchia.

Entertainment Kitchen Dream with 2 islands and double Sub Zero Full refrigerator

Integral Design Interiors

This open kitchen includes an island for prep and cooking plus and an island for entertaining guests. There is also an adjacent bar height table with bar stools for additional serving and eating. A set of custom storage benches are designed to be pulled into the room for overflow seating when needed. The tile faced entertainment island has the unique ability to be rolled around via hidden rubber wheels recessed underneath. The wheels can be locked through a clever locking system. That island features a contrasting Blue Pearl granite top which compliments the secondary blue tones in the tile, barstools and benches. The central axis of the kitchen has a copper finished embossed tin-faced inset on a 4 x 10 foot tray from which 3 pendants are hung. Cabinet interiors are fully fitted out with the newest inserts and space saving technology. Although not shown, there is a microwave drawer and warming drawer facing the high end 48" gas range. Oil rubbed bronze handles and accents contrast nicely with the stainless steel appliances.

Relaxing Summer Retreat on Lake Geneva

Stebnitz Builders, Inc.

The homeowners wish-list when searching for properties in the Geneva Lake area included: low-maintenance, incredible lake views, a pier but also a house that needed a lot of work because they were searching for a true project. After months of designing and planning, a bright and open design of the great room was created to maximize the room’s incredible view of Geneva Lake. Nautical touches can be found throughout the home, including the rope detailing on the overhead light fixture, in the coffee table accessories and the child-sized replica wooden boat. The crisp, clean kitchen has thoughtful design details, like the vintage look faucet and a mosaic outline of Geneva Lake in the back splash. This project was featured in the Summer 2019 issue of Lakeshore Living

Kitchen with Dark Hardwood Floors and Wood 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!
