Kitchen transformation

Smith & Vansant Architects PC

This kitchen was formerly a dark paneled, cluttered, and divided space with little natural light. By eliminating partitions and creating a more functional, open floorplan, as well as adding modern windows with traditional detailing, providing lovingly detailed built-ins for the clients extensive collection of beautiful dishes, and lightening up the color palette we were able to create a rather miraculous transformation. The wide plank salvaged pine floors, the antique french dining table, as well as the Galbraith & Paul drum pendant and the salvaged antique glass monopoint track pendants all help to provide a warmth to the crisp detailing.

Organic Mill Valley

Ann Lowengart Interiors

The three-level Mediterranean revival home started as a 1930s summer cottage that expanded downward and upward over time. We used a clean, crisp white wall plaster with bronze hardware throughout the interiors to give the house continuity. A neutral color palette and minimalist furnishings create a sense of calm restraint. Subtle and nuanced textures and variations in tints add visual interest. The stair risers from the living room to the primary suite are hand-painted terra cotta tile in gray and off-white. We used the same tile resource in the kitchen for the island's toe kick.

Villa in stile moderno minimalismo 2019.

KOSMOSADESIGN

il Soggiorno si trova in una villa moderna costruita nel 2019. Gli ampi spaziosi aperti sembrano quasi sempre costosi. Ma è molto sbagliato seguire lo stile senza tener conto dei suoi dettagli importanti. Ci sono alcune preoccupazioni nel rendere gli spazi minimalisti ostentatamente vuoti, come i magazzini di costosi mobili minimalisti, o costringere il cliente a camminare per chilometri preparando la colazione o rinunciando a comodi gadget quotidiani. Un grande spazio con un minimo di mobili non significa automaticamente uno stile minimalista. Qual è lo stile del minimalismo? 1. La composizione e la forma diventano le principali. 2. Il numero di sfumature di colori sta diminuendo. Questi colori non sono necessariamente freddi. 3. I componenti principali dell'interno o dell'edificio (finestre, porte, scale) sono privi di dettagli e hanno contorni uniformi e chiari. Sono nascosti o loro meccanismi non sono visibili. 4. Gli articoli per la casa possono essere numerosi, ma trovano il loro posto in armadi nascosti e sistemi di di stoccaggio. 5. Le attrezzature e i sistemi di supporto vitale della casa sono integrati nella composizione degli interni. 6. L'ergonomia è calcolata al millimetro, l'attrezzatura è moderna e non richiede il più possibile frequenti interventi per la sua manutenzione. 7. Il minimalismo moderno tende ai materiali naturali e alla compatibilità ambientale, combinati con le alte tecnologie che proteggono la natura. 8. Gli oggetti e alcuni dettagli interni come una sedia o un tavolo sembrano molto semplici, sono incorporati o fanno parte della composizione e non sono considerati elementi separati. 9. Una parte molto importante dello stile minimalismo è molto spesso l'ambiente e la natura. La vista dalla finestra "entra" nell'interno, costituendo spesso la parte più importante della composizione. 10. Per enfatizzare lo stile vengono utilizzati grandi dettagli che contrastano con l'interno generale, ma si adattano perfettamente alla composizione.

Kitchen with an Integrated Sink and 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!
