A facelift in the kitchen included changing out the counter tops, a new backsplash and painting the whole kitchen, including an accent blue island. English country charm and character was preserved with the brick floor. Rush seats on the counter stools add more English charm.

Space did not allow for a traditional trash/recycle pullout so we included this three-bin rotating corner trash/recycling center instead. A nice alternative to a lazy susan. Jason Jasienowski

Cabinets by Design

Kitchen: Brookhaven Coronado Door with Latte Opaque finish For a busy family with three older children at home, comfortable living space and ultimate functionality was a must in their new home. Cabinets by Design developed a large L-shaped kitchen and breakfast room which overlooks the patio and pool to create a feeling of open space. Ample storage needs were answered through glass-front dining room cabinets, organizational office storage and file drawers, and a laundry room that is also ideal for gift wrapping and pet care. The large master bath exudes a relaxing, spa-like feel while the children’s baths provide lots of storage and roomy counter space.

Reclaimed brick floors and wooden doors leading to a working pantry off the kitchen give the room the feeling of having been in place for decades. "If we have the opportunity, this is a space we try to incorporate in every home because it is just so versatile," Mona says of the area, which includes both a wine fridge and coffee bar as well as an abundance of storage. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................ .......................................................................................................

TANGLEWOOD KITCHEN- CASE Design/Remodeling Birmingham

Creative Cabinets & Design LLC

This beautiful remodel is by CASE Design/Remodeling Birmingham. The existing brick floor was too gorgeous to demo, so new cabinetry was designed to lighten up the previously dark kitchen. Wellborn cabinets were custom designed to make the most functional use of this lovely kitchen. The Premier Series 48" high wall cabinets extend to the 9 foot ceiling adding additional storage and visually lifting the room. Gorgeous quartz countertops give the client the look of marble, while giving them a zero maintenance surface that will last for years and years. A white subway tile adds to the classic look of this new kitchen. Seville Maple door style in Glacier white and Sienna stain. PHOTOS BY: Jana Sobel with 205 Photography.

21st Century Modern Farmhouse Kitchen Remodel

Closed

One of our favorite transformations! Through good design, we transformed the corners of the old kitchen into usable space versus the complete dead space that was previously sealed off. We also created a seamless flow between the ceiling and the cabinets with taller custom cabinets. We added a bar countertop and opened up the wall to allow for more interaction between kitchen and dinning room space. Now you can enjoy the view of a beautiful kitchen from across the home because of its now more open design.

Kitchen with Subway Tile Splashback and Brick 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.

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!
