Hampstead Detached

König Design Studio

This Hampstead detached house was built specifically with a young professional in mind. We captured a classic 70s feel in our design, which makes the home a great place for entertaining. The main living area is large open space with an impressive fireplace that sits on a low board of Rosso Levanto marble and has been clad in oxidized copper. We've used the same copper to clad the kitchen cabinet doors, bringing out the texture of the Calacatta Viola marble worktop and backsplash. Finally, iconic pieces of furniture by major designers help elevate this unique space, giving it an added touch of glamour.

Kitchen and Powder Room Remodel in Northridge

Pearl Remodeling

We turned this open concept kitchen in Northridge and upgraded it with cool new features such as the once laundry room that is a powder room. We remove an extensive soffit that went through the kitchen to the dining room. The dining room now has exposed beams and white wooden shiplap for a high ceiling effect and a new chandelier. The kitchen received a brand new set of white/gray shaker cabinets, white marble countertops, new appliances, gold hardware accents, new outlets, and recessed lighting. We closed the doorway from the kitchen to the bathroom nearby to create more privacy for the bedroom and extend the hallway space. We also extended the depth of the pantry space by pushing the closet space a little bit further out. We installed 45 linear feet of a combination of white and gray shaker cabinets. We installed a beautiful Wolf stovetop and dishwasher. For the powder room, we installed a new vanity, stackable washer/dryer, storage cabinets, tile flooring, and a new toilet.

Stanford Farmhouse Kitchen

MODERN TRADITION KITCHEN & BATH

After photos of this Stanford CT county Tuscan farmhouse kitchen renovation. We were able to update this space to be a modern classic farmhouse while keeping the clients personal style to flow with the rest of the main floor. Fieldstone cabinetry allowed us to put the perfect touches of color, style, & function our clients expected. Moss Green awakens this space as Spring has sprung. It glows in this new space serving the pop of color we did not want to loose from the green marble clients wanted to salvage, we were able to repurpose a portion to tie in the new color cabinets, custom matching the maple wood opening and adding new matching shelves. Antique bronze hardware, Carrara Marble countertops and backsplash pairs perfectly with the Esmeralda Marble. Using a new mitered Rembrandt door in simply white and moss green allows us to updated this space from the traditional raised panel in hospital white that didn't allow the space to feel like home.

Kitchen with Marble Splashback and Timber 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!
