This home has a beautiful view of the Nashua River. They wanted to include the natural, earthy feeling of the riverbed while continuing with the modern and sleek style of their home. As you walk into this home you have a warm and cozy feel. At the same time you see the personality of the homeowners. The feeling is simple, natural with a splash of playful. The cabinetry and furniture is in a flat panel door which accents the beautiful natural cherry wood. The artwork is modern with a splash of color. The dining room has a love natural cherry table with a stone fireplace behind it. The dining room as a lovely cherry cabinet that looks like the dining room table that actually is hiding the pantry items of the kitchen. The artwork has a modern flair and the pumpkin paint brings a warm and inviting feel to the room. The dining room is open to the kitchen. The first thing that was done was to move the kitchen on the other side of the room so that the wall that has the view included a floor to ceiling window. This insured that no matter where you were- in the dining room or the kitchen, or the kitchen table you would get a truly wonderful view of the river. The kitchen has many exciting features. The hood is hidden to look like a row of cabinets. The granite is the main feature of this kitchen. The pebbled granite is mixed with leathered black granite in many interesting ways. The backsplash has the pebble granite mixed with black stripes. These black stripes hide the outlets and make for the backsplash have a wonderful design. The sides of the island have the pebble granite and the sink has the pebble granite. Lighting was essential to this design as the kitchen as wonderful wooded beams and it was essential to light up the kitchen without taking away from the effect of the wooded beams. The space has become that truly earthy, warm and playful space that they have dreamed.

Handmade Bespoke Kitchen - Maltings Grove

Baker & Baker Bespoke Kitchens & Furniture

Designed and crafted out of beautiful British timbers for a property in the heart of Suffolk, the owners, our clients, divulged that they had spent months trawling the internet and country's considerable retail market, visiting countless showrooms before discovering Baker & Baker Bespoke Kitchens and "knowing instantly" that this was what they had been searching for; a Baker & Baker handcrafted bespoke kitchen to serve as the centrepiece to the home they had been yearning for; especially with the bespoke cabinetry, transformed from raw timber to their soon-to-be kitchen under the same roof! We must say we were rather proud! Extensively renovated and extended, the clients knew exactly what they wanted, drawing inspiration from our showroom display. They chose a painted kitchen with two colours from the Farrow & Ball range and a mix of granite counter tops for the cabinets and central island. The door knobs and drawer pulls have an antique brass finish which work beautifully with both colours. The island has a double curved base cabinet with a wooden chopping block and features a seated area at one end. There is a copper tap and prep sink set into the granite top. Other points of interest are the oak drawers with handle cut outs and visible dove tails, the Quooker tap, the glass display cabinets and the full height larder. We particularly like the purpose built chimney mantle standing above the Lacanche oven – the perfect focal point for this kitchen, we are sure you will agree. A subtle combination of colour and finishes blend perfectly together to make this room very pleasing on the eye.

Antique oak cabinets

Revive Cabinetry

Antique oak kitchen cabinets Revive Cabinetry took an out of date natural oak kitchen and brought it back to the new age. These 25 year old oak cabinets got a new life. We used a special technique to take the yellow color out of the oak and return them to a natural brown. Next we added glazing to create an antique finish and give them that million dollar look.

Orange Kitchen with Black 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!
