Sovereign Buckhead

Photography: FotoGrafik ARTS. It’s all about the view at the higher levels of the Sovereign in Atlanta. Residents who occupy the 28th to 50th floors in Buckhead Atlanta’s tallest mixed-use building, are treated to a jaw-dropping view from nearly every room. THIS UNIT, ON THE 39TH FLOOR, WAS ALREADY a spacious, 3300-sq.foot, two-bedroom, two-bath condominium. Still, it was lacking some finishing touches, needing to be refined and polished for efficiency and luxury. “There’s an abundance of custom features,” explains Lowell Figur, Glazer Design & Construction’s Project Manager for this contract. Automated LED lighting and blinds, newly stained Lauzon floors, venetian plaster walls, ostrich skin-textured wallpaper, custom closets...the deliciously decadent list goes on, even including a custom make-up drawer in the bathroom for the missus. - Design & Build Magazine.

Traditional Blue & White Shaker Kitchen

Yorkshire Kitchen Design

This traditional blue and white shaker kitchen was built in Drax, North Yorkshire. The clients were looking for a highly functional, open-plan kitchen, but they also wanted to keep the traditional feel of their home. The blue and white shaker cabinets perfectly balance these two requirements. Since this is a complete kitchen renovation, we stripped the space completely, installed new electrical wirings, and did a full reskim. We also added a pocket door system, tiled the floor, and added new radiators. We started by removing a structural wall between the unused dining room and a small kitchen to create an open-plan kitchen, dining and snug area. To do this, we cut the steel within the floor joists to create a flush ceiling and allowed the dropped ceiling around the island to house the ceiling-mounted extractor. We finished the ceiling with a 3-step edge detailing to make a seamless transition between the existing decor and the new look. We chose the Stanton range, a classic shaker-style collection, for the cabinetry. We used a combination of midnight blue and mussel units, offering a sense of warmth and comfort to the room. The worktops are white mirage. There's no need to switch on any lights in this kitchen as we used the Phillips Hue light system, controlled via voice, motion, and phones. We also added motion-activated LED strip lighting in the ceiling for ambient lighting. Lastly, we installed appliances from Bosch and Quooker to create a fully functional kitchen.

A Glamorous, Industrial Style Shaker Kitchen by Burlanes

burlanes interiors

Something a little different to our usual style, we injected a little glamour into our handmade Decolane kitchen in Upminster, Essex. When the homeowners purchased this property, the kitchen was the first room they wanted to rip out and renovate, but uncertainty about which style to go for held them back, and it was actually the final room in the home to be completed! As the old saying goes, "The best things in life are worth waiting for..." Our Design Team at Burlanes Chelmsford worked closely with Mr & Mrs Kipping throughout the design process, to ensure that all of their ideas were discussed and considered, and that the most suitable kitchen layout and style was designed and created by us, for the family to love and use for years to come.

Blue Kitchen with a Double-bowl 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!
