Harrogate Kitchen

Treske Ltd

This Harrogate kitchen is a great blend of country and town living, with co-ordinated cooking, storage, food preparation and breakfast bar areas. Painted in Little Greene Ceviche and Adventurer, with River White granite work-surfaces, the complimentary Little Greene paints used are accentuated through the use of chrome knobs from the new Sarah Beeny range. The large oak end grain chopping block is set over a drum cabinet at the end of a generous kitchen island, with room for friends to watch the cooking display or hungry children to breakfast. A large canopy feature covers the cooking area, with the same granite used as a full height splashback behind the induction hob. Other Neff appliances including the American fridge freezer are contained within a breakfront run of cabinets.

Contemporary Kitchen & Aquarium Design Falls Church, VA

Reico Kitchen & Bath

Designed by Nancy Knickerbocker of Reico Kitchen & Bath in Springfield, VA this contemporary kitchen design features an aquarium that influences the overall look and feel of the space. Kitchen cabinets are Merillat Classic in the Fusion door style in Maple in 2 finishes. The base kitchen cabinets feature a Dusk stain and the wall kitchen cabinets feature a Shale stain. The kitchen also features JennAir kitchen appliances. For Nancy, the biggest challenge was to incorporate the clients wishes while working within the limitations of the condo space. The finished kitchen design added additional storage as well as a countertop over hang on the peninsula that creates the perfect spot for guests or family to gather while meals are being prepared.

Modern Kitchen Remodel Done in a Grey Willow Color

Kitchen Solvers of Columbus

Custom kitchen remodeling project where the homeowners went with a more modern look by refacing their existing cabinets. Not only was the kitchen given a new look with refaced cabinets, but the small office area that was in the eating area as well. We also added new cabinets over the refrigerator and the oven. The existing pantry doors were replaced with custom barn doors by the homeowner. The cabinets were done in a maple slab door by Bridgewood in grey willow. The homeowner also wanted to add a beverage area in the family room, so we installed two 2 modern frameless ERA cabinets with Dekton countertop in Kelya.

Mid-sized Purple Kitchen 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!
