Un studio parisien, malin et féminin

Anne Chemineau - Decor Interieur

Le projet : Aux Batignolles, un studio parisien de 25m2 laissé dans son jus avec une minuscule cuisine biscornue dans l’entrée et une salle de bains avec WC, vieillotte en plein milieu de l’appartement. La jeune propriétaire souhaite revoir intégralement les espaces pour obtenir un studio très fonctionnel et clair. Notre solution : Nous allons faire table rase du passé et supprimer tous les murs. Grâce à une surélévation partielle du plancher pour les conduits sanitaires, nous allons repenser intégralement l’espace tout en tenant compte de différentes contraintes techniques. Une chambre en alcôve surélevée avec des rangements tiroirs dissimulés en dessous, dont un avec une marche escamotable, est créée dans l’espace séjour. Un dressing coulissant à la verticale complète les rangements et une verrière laissera passer la lumière. La salle de bains est équipée d’une grande douche à l’italienne et d’un plan vasque sur-mesure avec lave-linge encastré. Les WC sont indépendants. La cuisine est ouverte sur le séjour et est équipée de tout l’électroménager nécessaire avec un îlot repas très convivial. Un meuble d’angle menuisé permet de ranger livres et vaisselle.

Die Küche – das Herz des Hauses

Ihr Schreiner Thaler

Ob es in unseren Genen steckt, dass wir uns am liebsten dort versammeln, wo das Feuer brennt? Wo das Essen zubereitet wird? Wo die interessantesten Gespräche geführt werden? Wir freuen uns jedenfalls sehr, dass wir für eine Familie aus Mochenwangen mit der Küche aus unserer Schreinerei einen solchen Hausmittelpunkt schaffen durften. Die Specials dieser Küche: grifflose Ausführung aller Fronten einschließlich Kühlschrank, Apothekerschrank und Mülleimer elektrisch öffnend, Arbeitsplatten aus Granit mit flächenbündigem Kochfeld und Wrasenabzug (Dunst- und Dampfabzug) von Miele. Kurz: Eine Küche mit viel Stauraum und pfiffigen Funktionen, die den Kochalltag erleichtern. Und die außerdem so schön ist, dass Familie und Freunde sich immer wieder hier versammeln werden.

CUISINES BRUNO VERITE

Attention : transformation spectaculaire ! Mme F s’était déjà projetée dans cet espace vide. Elle savait exactement ce qu’elle voulait. Il ne nous restait plus qu’à donner vie à sa cuisine de rêve. Nous avons donc trouvé ensemble les teintes idéales : du gris brillant pour les façades laquées, une céramique veinée signée DEKTON pour le plan de travail et la crédence. Nous avons travaillé sur un design épuré en supprimant toutes les poignées, en soulignant les meubles bas d’une gorges noire et en intégrant une cuve sous plan de 73 cm de large. Si vous êtes passionné de cuisine, vous avez forcément remarqué le superbe piano SMEG, style rétro, qui trône fièrement au centre du bloc de cuisson. Moderne, design et fonctionnelle, cette cuisine reflète parfaitement le savoir-faire de notre équipe. Merci à Virginie pour ces superbes photos. Si vous aussi vous souhaitez créer avec nous la cuisine de vos rêves, contactez-moi dès maintenant.

Galley Kitchen with Cement Tiles 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!
