Terrell Hills Mid Century Modern Project

Haven Design and Construction

The kitchen sink is uniquely positioned to overlook the home’s former atrium and is bathed in natural light from a modern cupola above. The original floorplan featured an enclosed glass atrium that was filled with plants where the current stairwell is located. The former atrium featured a large tree growing through it and reaching to the sky above. At some point in the home’s history, the atrium was opened up and the glass and tree were removed to make way for the stairs to the floor below. The basement floor below is adjacent to the cave under the home. You can climb into the cave through a door in the home’s mechanical room.

Reviving Elegance in the Kitchen with Vintage Design

Normandy Remodeling

One of the main challenges of the original kitchen was an awkward, oversized peninsula that hindered traffic flow within the room. We repositioned the peninsula cabinetry, transforming it into a well-placed kitchen island that is now accessible from all four sides and offers seating and plenty of storage space. This simple swap greatly improved the overall flow of the kitchen, as did moving the location of the refrigerator to better fit the work triangle.

Light and bright kitchen with CRL Quartz Carrara

CRL Stone

Inheriting a small, dark kitchen that was impractical and unsuitable for a busy family of four many years ago, the owners of this property in Ripon were keen to put their own stamp on the space, with a light, airy and bright kitchen extension complete with CRL Quartz Carrara worktops. With a minimalist yet cosy and welcoming look at the top of their wish list the owners worked with the creativity and design skills of Joe Groves from Wharfe Valley Interiors to make their dream kitchen a reality. Simple and timeless in style, the finished kitchen is a hive of activity – a space used for cooking, eating and relaxing. CRL Quartz Carrara plays an important role throughout the space and was a natural choice for the owner, after falling in love with the surface at first sight during a visit to New Look Interiors of Leeds. A versatile and beautiful surface that exudes a luxury elegance, Carrara has the striking appearance of marble, with none of the maintenance issues. In fact, CRL Quartz is extremely hardwearing, durable and easy to keep clean making it ideal for this family. The soft white hue and smoky grey veins of the material tie the whole look in this new kitchen together, for a cohesive finish. Inspired by nature, the surface fits seamlessly with the timeless décor chosen for the extension, blending in harmony with the chosen colour scheme and soft furnishings. Delivery and installation of the quartz was expertly carried out by Harrogate’s Aktiv Granite who were undaunted by the size of the island slab, which measured up at 2.3 m x 1.1m. “When the installers arrived to fit the quartz and called me in to take a look I was overcome. I literally could have cried as it was just what I envisaged. “They did an amazing job, especially when they were lifting in the piece for the island which was a pretty big chunk.” comments homeowner Suzanne. Enter the extension from the hallway and a clean, airy and minimal space is waiting to greet you. The Carrara worktops are complemented by large format floor tiles and classically-styled furniture painted in Farrow & Ball’s Cornforth White. Bi-fold doors at one end of the room flood the room with natural light and create the perfect indoor outdoor kitchen living space for all-weather family entertaining. CRL Quartz Carrara is carried through to the adjoining utility and cloakroom for continuity of design, while back in the kitchen appliances from Bosch, plus a Quooker hot tap ensure the space is luxurious and functional. “My island is my pride and joy. I really like the having the sink integrated in this spot, as it turns the whole area into a space for socialising even when you’re washing up. “When I look back at all my drawings now the finished space is exact and just as I wanted it to be. It suits us very well now, instead of being cramped and dark it is a roomy, welcoming and bright kitchen.”

Fluted Glass lights up the kitchen by Mowlem & Co

Mowlem & Co

Highly popular in contemporary kitchen design, fluted glass offers many benefits, from discreetly elegant looks to diffuse illumination. When used for walk-in pantries or wall cabinets it adds a subtle lightness and an intriguing, textured finish, while allowing the area to be backlit in way that lights up the space without putting everything within on obvious display.

Kitchen with Grey Cabinets 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!
