Kitchen Reface

Let's Remodel

For this kitchen update, we refaced the cabinet's to a two toned look. We brought light to a space that once was dark and dated. We updated this kitchen with shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and subway backsplash. Adding the color of the base cabinets and top cabinets to the walls. Continuing the look to the dinning room.

Houzz inspired eat-in kitchen

Marguerite Sirrine

Wanted to share our new construction results with design inspiration from much of Houzz articles and posts. Disclaimer: previous house had white cabinets, weren't doing that again, but worried about light: kitchen entrance right from garage, northeast corner, not much light. Compensated with windows and screen porch right off eat-in dining.

Our clients wanted a kitchen where they could host guests in for holidays. The kitchen was over 11 years old and we did a complete remodeling for the project. We installed a new hardwood flooring, which added dynamism to the minimalism of the kitchen, making it a perfect modern space for hosting.

Step into the heart of luxury and functionality with this custom-built kitchen that seamlessly blends classic design elements with modern conveniences. The upper cabinets showcase a timeless V Shaker door style, adorned with pristine white-painted doors that exude elegance and create a bright, airy atmosphere. Complementing this, the base cabinets feature solid maple wood doors with the same V Shaker door style, adding warmth and sophistication to the overall aesthetic. One of the standout features of this kitchen is the pantry side, where a live-edge countertop takes center stage, introducing a touch of rustic charm and natural beauty. The organic edge of the countertop contrasts beautifully with the sleek and uniform appearance of the other surfaces in the kitchen. The majority of the kitchen countertops boast a luxurious white quartz finish, imparting a clean and sophisticated look. This choice not only enhances the kitchen's visual appeal but also ensures durability and ease of maintenance. The appliances in this kitchen are carefully selected to enhance both style and functionality. A panel-ready dishwasher seamlessly integrates with the cabinetry, maintaining a streamlined look. Above the stove, a convenient pot filler is installed, providing an efficient way to fill pots directly on the cooking surface. The apron sink, paired with a stylish gold faucet, becomes a focal point, adding a touch of opulence and personality to the kitchen space. To complete the ensemble, all handles and knobs are elegantly finished in black, creating a striking contrast against the white cabinetry and countertops. This meticulous attention to detail not only enhances the visual appeal of the kitchen but also ensures a cohesive and sophisticated design. In this custom-built kitchen, every element has been carefully chosen and thoughtfully integrated to create a space that effortlessly combines style and functionality, making it the perfect hub for culinary delights and social gatherings alike.

Kitchen with Light Hardwood Floors and Orange Floor 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!
