Architect: Michelle Penn, AIA Reminiscent of a farmhouse with simple lines and color, but yet a modern look influenced by the homeowner's Danish roots. This very compact home uses passive green building techniques. It is also wheelchair accessible and includes a elevator. We included an area to hang hats and jackets when coming in from the garage. The lower one works perfectly from a wheelchair. The owner loves to prep for meals so we designed a lower counter area for a wheelchair to simply pull up. Photo Credit: Dave Thiel

Kitchen Mixer Taps (UK Certified)

Plank Hardware

Finally, the perfect kitchen mixer tap to match your cabinet hardware is here. Introducing our Kitchen Mixer Taps collection, available in two contemporary silhouettes and four core finishes. PORTMAN is the taller, more elegant style of the two, with a beautifully curved swan neck that sits proudly upon kitchen worktops. If you have a spacious kitchen with a sink overlooking a window view, or sat centrally on a kitchen island, PORTMAN is the tap for you. ARMSTONG is our dynamic, compact tap design for the modern home. Standing shorter than PORTMAN, it has an angular crane shaped neck that looks the part whilst saving space. If your kitchen is on the tighter side, with a sink sitting beneath wall cabinets or head height shelving, ARMSTRONG might just be the tap for you. Choose from our core range of hardware finishes; Brass, Antique Brass, Matte Black or Stainless Steel. Complement your PORTMAN or ARMSTRONG kitchen mixer tap with your cabinet hardware, or choose a contrasting finish — that's pretty on trend right now, we hear. Better still, select textured spout and handle details that marry-up with your textured hardware. Whether knurled, swirled or smooth, these discreet features won't go unnoticed by guests you'll be proudly hosting.

Bespoke Kitchen. Olice Ash cabinets

Highwood Furniture

Bespoke fitted kitchen. Scottish sourced solid ash fronting, doors and olive ash pannels. The units are made from ash veneered MDF. This keeps the cost down massively and does not effect the visual look of the insides of the cupboards. This custom kitchen was designed to make the most use out of the space available. The 'g' shape allowed for a breakfast bar to be a devider to the kitchen whilst keeping the room open to the dining and living area. The panels are all book matched olive ash. custom wine rack and breakfast bar brackets. Solid walnut counter top finished with danish oil. This oil is easily touched up and keeps the natural look and feel of the timber that can be masked by some other finishes. It is recommended to re apply once a year, which is a small job involving rubbing a rag along the countertop (takes 5 minutes). Worth it for the lovely natural finish.

Kitchen with Wood Benchtops and Orange 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!
