Warm contemporary Kitchen and living room in Arcadia

Metropolis Drafting and Construction Inc

Complete overhaul of the common area in this wonderful Arcadia home. The living room, dining room and kitchen were redone. The direction was to obtain a contemporary look but to preserve the warmth of a ranch home. The perfect combination of modern colors such as grays and whites blend and work perfectly together with the abundant amount of wood tones in this design. The open kitchen is separated from the dining area with a large 10' peninsula with a waterfall finish detail. Notice the 3 different cabinet colors, the white of the upper cabinets, the Ash gray for the base cabinets and the magnificent olive of the peninsula are proof that you don't have to be afraid of using more than 1 color in your kitchen cabinets. The kitchen layout includes a secondary sink and a secondary dishwasher! For the busy life style of a modern family. The fireplace was completely redone with classic materials but in a contemporary layout. Notice the porcelain slab material on the hearth of the fireplace, the subway tile layout is a modern aligned pattern and the comfortable sitting nook on the side facing the large windows so you can enjoy a good book with a bright view. The bamboo flooring is continues throughout the house for a combining effect, tying together all the different spaces of the house. All the finish details and hardware are honed gold finish, gold tones compliment the wooden materials perfectly.

Scandi-Industrial Kitchen – Pasadena

Go Home Builders Inc

Welcome to a stunning Scandi-Industrial-designed kitchen nestled in the heart of South Pasadena. This kitchen effortlessly combines the sleek minimalism of Scandinavian design with the rugged, raw aesthetic of industrial elements, resulting in a truly captivating space. As you enter, you are immediately drawn to the exquisite blend of oak and gray cabinets that adorn the walls. The natural grain of the oak adds warmth and texture, while the gray cabinets contribute a modern touch to the space. These cabinets offer ample storage and are carefully designed to maintain the clean lines and functionality typical of Scandinavian design. In the center of the kitchen stands a commanding dark gray island, bringing a bold contrast to the surrounding elements. Its rich hue adds depth and sophistication, becoming a focal point that draws the eye. The island offers additional countertop space and storage, as well as a gathering place for family and friends. Adorning the countertops is stunning dark gray quartz, a material known for its durability and striking beauty. The sleek and polished surface adds a touch of elegance, while its dark color complements the surrounding elements, creating a cohesive and visually appealing aesthetic. If you look up you’ll be surprised to see, a white tongue and groove ceiling. Exudes charm and adds a sense of airiness to the space. This classic Scandinavian design element brings a touch of tradition, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the industrial elements. One wall of the kitchen features a captivating Platinum/ Peacock/ Seafoam wallpaper, serving as a focal point and injecting personality into the space. The wallpaper’s design, adds visual interest and enhances the overall ambiance. Beneath your feet, you’ll find beautiful hardwood flooring that seamlessly ties the space together. The warm tones and natural grain of the wood add a sense of warmth and organic beauty, further enhancing the Scandi-Industrial atmosphere. A custom bi-fold door, thoughtfully crafted, offers flexibility and the option to create an open, flowing space or a private, secluded one. This innovative feature exemplifies the functionality and versatility that Scandi-Industrial design embraces, allowing for effortless transitions between different areas of the kitchen and beyond. To add a touch of luxury, brass finishes are strategically incorporated throughout the kitchen. The hardware on the cabinets and drawers gleams with a warm, golden hue, while pendant lights and faucets showcase the same lustrous finish. These brass accents bring a sense of refinement and elegance, elevating the overall aesthetic. The lighting fixtures in the Scandi-Industrial kitchen are both functional and decorative. Suspended pendant lights hang over the island, casting a warm and intimate glow. A hexagon light fixture hangs over the dining area and complements the hexagon backsplash. Under-cabinet LED lights illuminate the countertops, enhancing visibility and adding a touch of contemporary sophistication, Cove lighting enhances the architectural features of the room and makes a room appear warm and romantic with its subtle glow. To complete the look, natural elements are strategically incorporated throughout the kitchen. Fully wood-customized windows, doors, floating shelves, and walls painted with Kilz One Horn White, enhance the overall ambiance and create a calming environment. In summary, this Scandi-Industrial kitchen in South Pasadena seamlessly blends Scandinavian minimalism with industrial ruggedness, resulting in a harmonious and visually striking space. It is a true testament to the marriage of form and function, where simplicity, natural elements, and clean lines come together to create an inviting and effortlessly stylish kitchen.

Expansive Scandinavian Kitchen 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 Scandinavian 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!
