Stunning Exton PA Kitchen Remodel

Chester County Kitchen & Bath

Stunning Exton PA kitchen and bath remodel. We opened up the kitchen to previously added sunroom. Nothing a new structural beam and some second floor plumbing modifications can’t accomplish. The new kitchen was designed in beautiful Fieldstone cabinetry; using the Bristol door in Portabella painted finish for the perimeter and Rustic Alder in natural finish with a chocolate glaze for the island, hood, and post. These colors paired perfectly with the homes original hardwood flooring. Luxury GE Café appliances make this kitchen a cook’s dream. The arabesque white tile back splash is perfect with a clean look while still adding to the design with the classic shape. What a great example of a kitchen that blends a modern look with warm rustic charm.

Handcrafted traditional bespoke kitchen design

Herbert William Limited

A traditional bespoke design for kitchen in Farnham by Lorna. The client requested a unique bespoke Chamfer Layon door to her kitchen to fit in with her beautiful new build oak home. The space was going to be truly unique, so the kitchen had to encapsulate this and feel part of the building. The colours were very important to our client, so Lorna spent some time with her going over options from The Little Greene Company. Final colours chosen were Drummond and Hammock. Lorna also went with the client to visit our stonemasons so she could select her specific stone, invaluable visit and she moved away from Quartz and selected a Honed Granite finish ‘Kashmere White’. The island was a great central feature of the kitchen being a vast size at 2m x 1.8m. This area included a breakfast bar, bespoke designed wine racks, hob and wine fridge. The kitchen was to be a cook’s kitchen so each area was carefully thought out, refrigeration and larder storage to one side, dresser style setup with plate rack, island for preparing and cooking and a long sink run with ovens at either end. A stunning large Belfast sink was included with a specifically requested ‘Steam Valve Deck Mounted’ tap in brushed steel. Appliances included Neff flex induction hob, microwave, compact oven, slide & hide pyrolytic oven, 2no. warming drawers, American Fridge Freezer, Caple Wine Fridge and Falmec Inox ceiling extractor. The space is to be used as a functional family space and allow multiple users to be working in different parts of the kitchen. The Utility was also supplied using Mackintosh ‘Cashmere’ Fresco Flat Door with Grain effect. The Utility space included a bespoke double door area to house the existing washing machine & dryer, unit to the worktop and sectioned off area to the hot water cylinder etc. The area also included an under-counter fridge, under-mount sink and chrome spray tap. The project looked stunning when complete and really gave our client the unique kitchen she desired. Photos by Lia Vittone

Ream Kitchens

After moving into their home three years ago, Mr and Mrs C left their kitchen to last as part of their home renovations. “We knew of Ream from the large showroom on the Gillingham Business Park and we had seen the Vans in our area.” says Mrs C. “We’ve moved twice already and each time our kitchen renovation has been questionable. We hoped we would be third time lucky? This time we opted for the whole kitchen renovation including the kitchen flooring, lighting and installation.” The Ream showroom in Gillingham is bright and inviting. It is a large space, as it took us over one hour to browse round all the displays. Meeting Lara at the showroom before hand, helped to put our ideas of want we wanted with Lara’s design expertise. From the initial kitchen consultation, Lara then came to measure our existing kitchen. Lara, Ream’s Kitchen Designer, was able to design Mr and Mrs C’s kitchen which came to life on the 3D software Ream uses for kitchen design. When it came to selecting the kitchen, Lara is an expert, she was thorough and an incredibly knowledgeable kitchen designer. We were never rushed in our decision; she listened to what we wanted. It was refreshing as our experience of other companies was not so pleasant. Ream has a very good range to choose from which brought our kitchen to life. The kitchen design had ingenious with clever storage ideas which ensured our kitchen was better organised. We were surprised with how much storage was possible especially as before I had only one drawer and a huge fridge freezer which reduced our worktop space. The installation was quick too. The team were considerate of our needs and asked if they had permission to park on our driveway. There was no dust or mess to come back to each evening and the rubbish was all collected too. Within two weeks the kitchen was complete. Reams customer service was prompt and outstanding. When things did go wrong, Ream was quick to rectify and communicate with us what was going on. One was the delivery of three doors which were drilled wrong and the other was the extractor. Emma, Ream’s Project Coordinator apologised and updated us on what was happening through calls and emails. “It’s the best kitchen we have ever had!” Mr & Mrs C say, we are so happy with it.

Orange Kitchen with Beige Cabinets 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!
