Gracious spacing between the counter and island make it easy for two (or more!) people to work in the kitchen. The dropped ceiling above the island allows for the recessed vent hood. Note the two barn doors beyond the built-in microwave which lead to the pantry.

Cabrières-d'Aigues - Cuisine sous voûte dans le Luberon

Atelier de la Mirande

Dans une maison de village du XVII siècle, les propriétaires souhaitaient changer leur cuisine datant des années 80' tout en conservant l'implantation en U à laquelle ils tenaient. Quel plaisir de pouvoir révéler cette voûte alors cachée sous le faux-plafond et redonner du volume à cette pièce de vie ! L'absence de planéité et d'angles d'équerre sont monnaie courante dans le bâti ancien et demande un arbitrage dès la phase conception pour convenir de l'implantation définitive des éléments. Le choix des matériaux s'est lui aussi fait en amont. Pour cela, j'ai présenté des visuels 3D aux propriétaires pour les aider à se projeter et à faire des choix. Après un mois de travaux, la nouvelle cuisine est enfin prête !

This couple wanted to open the kitchen, so we removed the wall. Hand-made white shaker cabinetry lends a light, clean feel to the kitchen, and contrasts well with the dark counter tops. The natural cherry pub table accomdated the clients desire for both a small island and a eating area, but not combined. It also warms up the kitchen. This kitchen is inundated with organizing and storage accesories, such as 6" spice pull-outs, shallow drawers where standard doors wouldn't fit, and roll-out trays everywhere. An organizing center (white board/cork board) at the kitchen drop zone keeps the family organized. Jameson Nenn

Pale-greay wood-grain resin cabinets were installed above and below the new mottled-gray resin countertop that runs along three sides of the kitchen. The island-expanded slightly and given new white lacquer cabinets and a black granite work surface - now stands as a contrasting, yet complementary, element in the center of the room. Long, slotted brushed-steel pulls aligned horizontally on drawers and vertically on cabinets - are a unifying element, and a new hardwood floor warms they way only wood can. The stainless-steel refrigerator and dual oven are now flush with the cabinets. Reed also added touch- recessed LED lights that turn on automatically when a cabinet door is opened, illuminating the interior, plus touch-activated LEDs on the bottom of the cabinets to light the countertop

Kitchen with Onyx Benchtops 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!
