Use the Good Plates

Atelier Bond

This project involved an extensive renovation to create a cohesive family kitchen, while injecting everyday glamour into a functional space. This historic 1880s former brewery had been subject to several mish-mash renovations. . The first step was to rethink how the kitchen interacted with the rest of the home, and included punching a counter clad in luscious Verde Alpi marble through to the family retreat to create a seamless flow.

Modern Monochrome - A Stylish Kitchen Renovation

Reno Maryland

Indulge in the epitome of contemporary elegance with our 'Modern Monochrome' kitchen renovation, where shades of grey harmoniously converge to create a sleek and stylish culinary haven. This transformative project features a cohesive palette of grey tones, from the Grey Island to the matching Grey Cabinets, all complemented by a sophisticated Contemporary Backsplash. The heart of the kitchen, the Grey Island, stands as a symbol of modern sophistication. Its neutral hue exudes a sense of calm and versatility, while providing a striking focal point that anchors the space. Paired seamlessly with Grey Cabinets, the design achieves a sense of unity and understated luxury, creating a kitchen that is both visually appealing and highly functional. Adding an artistic touch to the ensemble is the Contemporary Backsplash, a thoughtful choice that elevates the overall aesthetic. The dynamic interplay of shapes, textures, and patterns injects a sense of modernity, turning the backsplash into a statement piece that ties the entire design together.

'Highview'

DESSE Interior Design

The original u-shaped kitchen was dated with very little bench space. A huge under-used pantry also blocked the flow of traffic and the stunning coastal views. To overcome these issues DESSE applied a clean modern galley style to the kitchen. This introduced extra light and views. The kitchen benches were crafted from Calacatta marble and artisan porcelain pendant lights were positioned over the island area. The natural materials and handmade finishes gives the space a wonderful organic feel.

Grooved Walnut with Butler Pantry

Consilium B LLC

Craftsmanship Meets Innovation: Walnut Fronts with a Grooved Texture The design journey begins with the selection of Walnut Fronts, chosen for their natural beauty and enhanced by a distinctive grooved texture. This choice was intentional, aiming to bring warmth and depth into the kitchen space. The application of a special metallic lacquer introduces a subtle contrast, adding an extra layer of sophistication and elegance to the design. Functionality Redefined: The Honed Countertop Central to the design is the honed Countertop, featuring an island top that cleverly opens and closes. This element is not just a testament to beauty but also to functionality, offering versatility in kitchen use — whether for meal preparation or as an inviting space for gathering, or as a smart prep space with a hidden Bocchi Ceramic Sink. The Latest in Culinary Excellence: Gaggenau 200 Series Complementing the aesthetic elements are the Gaggenau 200 series appliances, a choice that reflects our commitment to integrating the latest in culinary technology. These appliances not only enhance the kitchen's functionality but also embody the cutting-edge design and innovation that our clients expect.

Kitchen with Louvered Cabinets and Grey 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!
