Orange accent for a kitchen

Jan Neiges, CMKBD with NKBA

Removing the wall cabinets and replacing it with a vented hood eliminated the need to have a ceiling fan in the kitchen. Enclosing the new fridge by adding tall side panels allowed room for an upper cabinet for additional storage.

Schwarzwaldpanorama - Haus Dobel

Partner und Partner Architekten

Das steile, schmale Hanggrundstück besticht durch sein Panorama und ergibt durch die gezielte Positionierung und reduziert gewählter ökologische Materialwahl ein stimmiges Konzept für Wohnen im Schwarzwald. Das Wohnhaus bietet unterschiedliche Arten von Aufenthaltsräumen. Im Erdgeschoss gibt es den offene Wohn- Ess- & Kochbereich mit einem kleinen überdachten Balkon, welcher dem Garten zugewandt ist. Die Galerie im Obergeschoss ist als Leseplatz vorgesehen mit niedriger Brüstung zum Erdgeschoss und einer Fensteröffnung in Richtung Westen. Im Untergeschoss befindet sich neben dem Schlafzimmer noch ein weiterer Raum, der als Studio und Gästezimmer dient mit direktem Ausgang zur Terrasse. Als Nebenräume gibt es zu Technik- und Lagerräumen noch zwei Bäder. Natürliche, echte und ökologische Materialien sind ein weiteres essentielles Merkmal, die den Entwurf stärken. Beginnend bei der verkohlten Holzfassade, die eine fast vergessene Technik der Holzkonservierung wiederaufleben lässt. Die Außenwände der Erd- & Obergeschosse sind mit Lehmplatten und Lehmputz verkleidet und wirken sich zusammen mit den Massivholzwänden positiv auf das gute Innenraumklima aus. Eine Photovoltaik Anlage auf dem Dach ergänzt das nachhaltige Konzept des Gebäudes und speist Energie für die Luft-Wasser- Wärmepumpe und später das Elektroauto in der Garage ein.

Small kitchen with a big heart

Wayde Beckman Design

This might be a small kitchen but it has a big attitude. It boasts ample drawer storage in the base cabinets topped by a surprising amount of bench space. The L-shape / Galley style makes the most of the 1.9x3.7m floor space. Despite it's size, theres room for two to work in the kitchen. A combination of Meteca Woodgrain panels and Trendstone benches provide cost effective, durable finishes. Luna subway tiles, recycled Matai shelves on metal pipe brackets extend the textural themeof the overall design. To keep the noise down when cooking, we installed a Sirius rangehood with an efficient but (almost) silent exterior mounted motor.

Colourful Yet Calm Family Home - Kitchen

Studio Fabbri

From Enclosed to Exposed

By Heather LLC, Creative Space Design

This kitchen was very enclosed with soffits and a wall between the kitchen and living room. The client wanted more of an open feel. With the wall bein load bearing we opened up a portion of the wall to the living room so as to keep within budget. This transition brightened the space dramatically!

Weiße Schränke zu dunklen Arbeitsplatten

Ellerbrock "Bad und Küche" GmbH

Die flächenbündigen Schrankfronten sind an den Oberschränken grifflos, am deckenhohen Seitenschrank mit eleganten Chromleisten konzipiert. Dazu bringt die dunkle Laminat-Arbeitsplatte stilvolles Flair in die Optik ein. Edel wirken dazu auch die schwarzen Elektrogeräte, die wie der Herd mit Chromverzierungen oder wie die Kochfläche mit Touch-Bedienung die Funktionalität der modernen Ballerina-Küche bereit halten.

Adirondack Condo Make Over

Zobel & Co. Kitchens

We removed a peninsula to make the kitchen for this condo in the Adirondacks larger. The kitchen is now part of the open plan first floor that allows the grand view of the mountains and lake take center stage. Matching Wrought Iron grey with Cascade White cabinetry from Plain & Fancy gives dimension to this small kitchen without giving it a crowded feel. GE Cafe appliances match perfectly with the Wrought Iron grey cabinets, and the honey bronze hardware adds richness to the both the appliances and the cabinetry.

Kitchen with Linoleum Floors 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!
