This kitchen renovation involved taking out a wall or 2 to incorporate a separate pantry space into the now generous kitchen. We worked closely with the client to integrate many specialty features like a baking station, a home office feature with pull out file drawers, and a custom 2 sided glass end cabinet for wine service.

Stylish suburban home, Surrey

Kitchens Bespoke Ltd

THE BRIEF The starting point for this brief was to produce a design that made a better use of the existing space. Originally there had been a separate kitchen and breakfast room, and our clients were keen to explore the options available to them if this whole space was looked at afresh. We were tasked with creating a contemporary, stylish suburban kitchen that utilised the space better, but one that did not feel clinical or austere with glossy surfaces. In addition, the home was transitioning from a space dedicated to raising a family and embracing its next era as a modernised contemporary oasis for a couple who love to entertain. The new kitchen needed to be practical and sophisticated to make hosting easy and enjoyable. OUR BESPOKE KITCHEN DESIGN The first nut for us to crack was to identify the best use of the whole space. We advised opening up the kitchen and breakfast room but not into a completely open plan space. Our design removed just part of the partition wall. This creates great flow and light between the two spaces, but retains practical wall space in the kitchen, and keeping a degree of separation between the two zones. With the larger flow of the space sorted, we then tackled the business end in the kitchen, the working space! This is a rectangular kitchen with two long worktops opposite each other. In the old kitchen, the sink and hob were both on the shorter side, cramping the usable space. This compromised practical areas for food prep on one side and left the other longer length of the worktop unutilised. Our design relocated the hob to the longer length of worktop, making the space much more practical for cooking and working. We were keen to create a space that whilst felt fresh and contemporary, was not too severe or featureless. Our handleless shallow shaker design cabinetry was the perfect solution to create a stylish suburban kitchen. The handleless design created the seamless, contemporary look whilst the matte chalk painted doors softened the overall feel. ALL IN THE DETAIL The Strata Statuario Quartz worktops add a real sophistication to the kitchen and our clients really loved how the veining in the worktop runs seamlessly into the upstand. One of our favourite details in this stylish suburban kitchen is the mustard coloured splashback. It really brings the whole concept together. This shade of yellow injects just the right flash of colour, bounces the light around the space and we think it creates just the most fabulous feature. Credit: Jack Beard Photos

NEW CANAAN CT - Graceful Elegance

DEANE Inc | Distinctive Design & Cabinetry

This renovation transformed a dark cherry kitchen into an elegant space for cooking and entertaining. The working island features a prep sink and faces a Wolf 48” range and custom stainless steel hood with nickel strapping and rivet details. The eating island is differentiated by arched brackets and polished stainless steel boots on the elevated legs. A neutral, veined Quartzite for the islands and perimeter countertops was paired with a herringbone, ceramic tile backsplash, and rift oak textured cabinetry for style. Intelligent design features walnut drawer interiors and pull-out drawers for spices and condiments, along with another for lid storage. A water dispenser was expressly designed to be accessible yet hidden from view to offset the home’s well water system and was a favorite feature of the homeowner.

Nobilia Alpine White Kitchen

Alexander Kitchens

This kitchen is a recent installation from the Horsham area, it has been designed by George from our Horsham showroom and installed by our local installation team. This kitchen has been designed to be a sociable open space, with German Nobilia furniture used to create a breakfast bar and TV unit. The touch door used is by far one of our most popular from our Horsham showroom with many recent installations utilising its silky matt texture in the kitchen. The touch range is a common choice as it can be used with traditional handles or in handleless form as shown, creating an ultra-modern space. The Alpine White shade used in this kitchen is one of seven available in the touch range which in this kitchen is nicely complemented by a stainless-steel handrail, allowing space to access storage areas. This kitchen makes use of several unique features that Nobilia offer including red wine storage, a translucent glass panel cabinet and matching tv unit furniture. The standout feature however in this kitchen is the stunning golden glass splashback that even features a smooth curved edge. The gold theme has been carried on with gold accents used in the kitchen lighting and other decorations.

Kitchen with Quartzite Benchtops and Yellow Splashback 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!
