Ремонт кухни-гостиной

Дизайн-студия "Аквариус"

Заказчики не были против изменения планировочного решения, и таким образом нам удалось добавить целых 2 помещения- гардеробную и кладовую, а также прихожую и кухню-гостиную мы сделали единым пространством. Основную сложность этого проекта составило органичное объединение пространства кухни-гостиной и прихожей, так как дверей там не предусматривалось и нужно было, чтобы стилевое решение из одного помещения плавно перетекало в другое, это усложнялось также г-образной планировкой, но благодаря удачной расстановке мебели, линейному освещению, выбранным декоративным элементам и цветовому решению это удалось отлично реализовать и воплотить в жизнь. Спокойная цветовая гамма этих помещений намекает нам на концепцию всей квартиры.

The kitchen is so light and refreshing. Designed with natural tones, custom Wood-Mode Cabinets, and a handcrafted range hood. The calming beiges and cream tones of the backsplash and primary cabinetry pair with the stunning blue/green granite countertop of the entertainment island for bold statement.

The Kitchen The previous kitchen was a dated plan which cutoff the family room and living room / dining room area with walls and arch ways to enter each room. The space had a lot of cabinets, but was too small and felt crowded with more than a couple people in the kitchen at once. The client loved that the kitchen had a lot of natural light with a huge window looking out to the yard and wanted to incorporate a design that had as much natural light but included a more open feel with an island everyone could sit around. She also wanted a nice big vent hood over a cooktop. The challenge was on! Our NEW and Improved design gave our client 2 new tall windows with a brand new custom wood vent hood in the middle of both of them. We moved her cooktop to where the original sink was once located and created a whole new kitchen setting. The sink went on the island along with a pull out microwave drawer and the dishwasher. We made sure to add a lot of storage pull outs throughout the kitchen and nitched out the island for bar stools to not take away space from the family room. Both walls separating the family room and living / dining room areas came down and the family room was reinforced with a new wood beam that we stained to match the flooring. Cabinets are a white shaker on the perimeter with glass cabinets by her kitchen table. On the island we chose a Grey Stone shaker with shiplap on each finished side. The countertops are a Calacatta Verona Quartz with really pretty veining that we took up the walls on each side of the windows and vent hood. Hardware is in a brushed nickel and faucet by Brizio. A new pantry complete with barn door was also added under the stairs for more storage. This kitchen is now an open plan that gives our homeowners everything they wished for.

This dark green kitchen shows how Tom Howley can create a kitchen where everything has a place and can be easily accessed. Integrated appliances and bespoke storage minimise clutter and glass fronted cabinetry with subtle lighting provides plenty of opportunity to display both attractive essentials and pieces of art.

Vista verso la cucina e la zona notte. Questa foto rende bene l'organizzazione complessiva degli spazi all'interno del monolocale. La 'scatola' che contiene la zona notte ricopre anche la funzione di libreria e di mobile contenitore. I materiali utilizzati rendono questo piccolo piccolo ambiente ricco e confortevole. Il calore del legno è bilanciato dagli inserti di colore verde e dalle pannellature bianche. Lo spazio nel suo insieme è estremamente funzionale e moderno.

Single-wall Kitchen with a Drop-in Sink 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!
