Northland Woodworks devised a set of highly functional kitchen cabinets that matches the home's modern features. We created a paneled fireplace cap — the "half-pipe" — that runs through the living room and above the kitchen. It is made of rift sawn white oak and measures more than 30 feet long and about 40 inches wide.

Amazing Kitchen Upgrade to Old Rambler in Vienna, Va

Michael Nash Design, Build & Homes

For this recently moved in military family, their old rambler home offered plenty of area for potential improvement. An entire new kitchen space was designed to create a greater feeling of family warmth. It all started with gutting the old rundown kitchen. The kitchen space was cramped and disconnected from the rest of the main level. There was a large bearing wall separating the living room from the kitchen and the dining room. A structure recessed beam was inserted into the attic space that enabled opening up of the entire main level. A large L-shaped island took over the wall placement giving a big work and storage space for the kitchen. Installed wood flooring matched up with the remaining living space created a continuous seam-less main level. By eliminating a side door and cutting through brick and block back wall, a large picture window was inserted to allow plenty of natural light into the kitchen. Recessed and pendent lights also improved interior lighting. By using offset cabinetry and a carefully selected granite slab to complement each other, a more soothing space was obtained to inspire cooking and entertaining. The fabulous new kitchen was completed with a new French door leading to the sun room. This family is now very happy with the massive transformation, and are happy to join their new community.

HOUSE RENOVATION - Renovation d`une maison des annes `50 la rénovation dans ce cas a deux objectifs, non seulement pour moderniser les espaces, mais aussi pour les rendre plus fonctionnels pour le propriétaire, qui au fil des ans a des besoins différents. Le plancher a été complètement remplacé afin d'avoir le même matériau dans toutes les pièces et de résoudre le problème d'une petite différence de hauteur entre la cuisine et l'entrée, tout a été ramené au même niveau. Les passages des portes ont été agrandis et les anciennes portes ont été remplacées par des portes coulissantes en verre, pour faciliter l'accès et permettre à la lumière naturelle de filtrer dans l'entrée faiblement éclairée. Les fenêtres et volets ont été remplacés et des mécanismes électriques ont été ajoutés pour leur ouverture et leur fermeture avec télécommande. La cuisine a été remplacée par une cuisine moderne et fonctionnelle, abaissée par rapport à l'ancienne. Les caissons de volets ont été conçus par nos soins et fabriqués par des artisans locaux, ils ont été intégrés dans la nouvelle cuisine se cachant dans l'espace entre le mobilier et le plafond. Des niches y ont été créées pour placer des éléments de décoration et intégrer le système d'éclairage direct sur la surface de travail. Les plafonds ont été abaissés et des spots d'éclairage ont été installés, remplaçant les anciennes appliques murales. Une niche a été créée à l'entrée dans laquelle une armoire sur mesure pour manteaux et chaussures a été positionnée. Les murs ont été entièrement restaurés et repeints.

The design of the kitchen cabinets virtually blends them into the wall. From a distance, the island and table pop out. But the working space with a visible cooktop and other appliances hidden behind smooth faces remains quite muted. It allows passionate cooks to operate in almost surprising ways. An integrated sink rests inside the island, which was wrapped in zinc then soldered. This space also hosts a white oak butcher block table.

Modern Kitchen with Zinc 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 Modern 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!
