Project 2408-1 - Eclectic Traditional Kitchen + Family Room + Mudroom Remodel

Castle Building & Remodeling

This very typical, 1947 built, story-and-a-half home in South Minneapolis had a small ‘U’ shaped kitchen adjacent to a similarly small dining room. These homeowners needed more space to prepare meals and store all the items needed in a modern kitchen. With a standard side entry access there was no more than a landing at the top of the basement stairs – no place to hang coats or even take off shoes! Many years earlier, a small screened-in porch had been added off the dining room, but it was getting minimal use in our Minnesota climate. With a new, spacious, family room addition in the place of the old screen porch and a 5’ expansion off the kitchen and side entry, along with removing the wall between the kitchen and the dining room, this home underwent a total transformation. What was once small cramped spaces is now a wide open great room containing kitchen, dining and family gathering spaces. As a bonus, a bright and functional mudroom was included to meet all their active family’s storage needs. Natural light now flows throughout the space and Carrara marble accents in both the kitchen and around the fireplace tie the rooms together quite nicely! An ample amount of kitchen storage space was gained with Bayer Interior Woods cabinetry and stainless steel appliances are one of many modern conveniences this family can now enjoy daily. The flooring selection (Red Oak hardwood floors) will not only last for decades to come but also adds a warm feel to the whole home.

The Georgian Hall Kitchen

Naked Kitchens

The true success behind this kitchen is the design and the way each detail flows with another. There are five different finishes with five different materials, yet all these elements combine in such harmony that entering the room is like walking into a work of art. Design details were incorporated to bridge the gap between the traditional nature of the building with the more contemporary functionality of a working kitchen. The Sub Zero & Wolf appliances, whilst not only fabulous in purpose, look sensational. The Solid American black walnut worktops of the island remind you of the beautiful natural materials that play a big part in this kitchen. Mesh centrepieces to the shaker doors demonstrate the transition between classic and contemporary.

This kitchen was lacking in storage and counter space. We tore out one wall of cabinets, replacing it with a floor-to-ceiling cabinet that contains the microwave, toaster oven, hooks for jackets/purses, and shoe drawers. We also designed an island, with room for two seats, to fill the un-used space. The rest of the kitchen got some updated paint, new soapstone countertop, pulls, lighting, backsplash, faucet, and decor. Photo: Suzuran Photography

Arden Park Glamorous Gilded Kitchen

Nar Design Group

This kitchen is nothing short of bold sophistication overflowing with playful elegance from gold accents to the glistening crystal chandelier above the island. We took advantage of the large window above the 7’ galley workstation to bring in a great deal of natural light and a beautiful view of the backyard. Between the warm tones of light flooring and the light whites and blues of the cabinetry, the kitchen is well-balanced with a bright and airy atmosphere. In a kitchen full of light and symmetrical elements, on the end of the island we incorporated an asymmetrical focal point finished in a dark slate. This four drawer piece is wrapped in safari brasilica wood that purposefully carries the warmth of the floor up and around the end piece to ground the space further. The wow factor of this kitchen are the geometric glossy gold tiles of the hood creating a glamorous accent against a marble backsplash above the cooktop. This kitchen is not only classically striking but also highly functional. The versatile wall, opposite of the galley workstation, includes an integrated refrigerator, freezer, steam oven, convection oven, two appliance garages, and tall cabinetry for pantry items. The kitchen’s layout of appliances creates a fluid circular flow in the kitchen. Across from the kitchen stands a slate gray wine hutch incorporated into the wall. The doors and drawers have a gilded diamond mesh in the center panels. This mesh ties in the golden accents around the kitchens décor and allows you to have a peek inside the hutch when the interior lights are on for a soft glow creating a beautiful transition into the living room.

Proyecto de interiorismo para apartamento de 150m2 en Barcelona

Victoria Interiors

Pudimos crear varios escenarios para el espacio de día. Colocamos una puerta-corredera que separa salón y cocina, forrandola igual como el tabique, con piedra fina de pizarra procedente de Oriente. Decoramos el rincón de desayunos de la cocina en el mismo estilo que el salón, para que al estar los dos espacios unidos, tengan continuidad. El salón y el comedor visualmente están zonificados por uno de los sofás y la columna, era la petición de la clienta. A pesar de que una de las propuestas del proyecto era de pintar el salón en color neutra, la clienta quería arriesgar y decorar su salón con su color mas preferido- el verde. Siempre nos adoptamos a los deseos del cliente y no dudamos dos veces en elegir un papel pintado ecléctico Royal Fernery de marca Cole&Son, buscándole una acompañante perfecta- pintura verde de marca Jotun. Las molduras y cornisas eran imprescindibles para darle al salón un toque clásico y atemporal. A la hora de diseñar los muebles, la clienta nos comento su sueño-tener una chimenea para recordarle los años que vivió en los Estados Unidos. Ella estaba segura que en un apartamento era imposible. Pero le sorprendimos diseñando un mueble de TV, con mucho almacenaje para sus libros y integrando una chimenea de bioethanol fabricada en especial para este mueble de madera maciza de roble. Los sofás tienen mucho protagonismo y contraste, tapizados en tela de color nata, de la marca Crevin. Las mesas de centro transmiten la nueva tendencia- con la chapa de raíz de roble, combinada con acero negro. Las mesitas auxiliares son de mármol Carrara natural, con patas de acero negro de formas curiosas. Las lamparas de sobremesa se han fabricado artesanalmente en India, y aun cuando no están encendidas, aportan mucha luz al salón. La lampara de techo se fabrico artesanalmente en Egipto, es de brónze con gotas de cristal. Juntos con el papel pintado, crean un aire misterioso y histórico. La mesa y la librería son diseñadas por el estudio Victoria Interiors y fabricados en roble marinado con grietas y poros abiertos. La librería tiene un papel importante en el proyecto- guarda la colección de libros antiguos y vajilla de la familia, a la vez escondiendo el radiador en la parte inferior. Los detalles como cojines de terciopelo, cortinas con tela de Aldeco, alfombras de seda de bambú, candelabros y jarrones de nuestro estudio, pufs tapizados con tela de Ze con Zeta fueron herramientas para acabar de decorar el espacio.

Eclectic Kitchen with Marble 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 Eclectic 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!
