Kitchen in navy, white and grey with orange and copper accents

Christopher Howard

A new extension to a traditional stone built property which would provide light through double bi-fold doors and roof cupolas needed a kitchen which would be accessible as part of a kitchen/diner/comfy seating space but, be completely functional for the family with good sized appliances and storage.

The apartment with two walk-in closets and a large laundry

Alexander Tischler

The upper modules are not touching the ceiling, because there is a ducted air conditioner above them. Still, the modules are spacious enough to hide the kitchen hood. In this kitchen, we did not use applied handles to make the whole set look minimalist. The fronts can be opened with the help of built-in profile handles. We design interiors of homes and apartments worldwide. If you need well-thought and aesthetical interior, submit a request on the website.

Sea-side White, Brookhaven

San Luis Kitchen Co.

A cottage kitchen always makes me happy -- especially a white one with beadboard! It makes me dream of trips to the seashore (perhaps Gramma's house) or to the family farm; soft summer days and lazy evenings with family gathered. And for just this reason, a white kitchen remains a classic choice for all -- here its paired with sandy colored Corian counters, strong blue accents and a warm wood floor. Just the best!

Case Study: Single Storey Extension, Roxborough Rd

London Building Renovation

We had to be careful on this project because our client cuts Kevin's hair! They had already had the loft conversion carried out by a loft conversion company but were looking for someone to build the extension. When presented with the plans, Kevin was horrified to see what a terrible use of space there was and immediately persuaded the clients to pay for a session with a fantastic local architect, who massively improved the scheme with the movement of a few walls. For this project Kevin had to "invent" fixed panes of roof lights complete with self-designed and installed gutter system as the extremely expensive fixed lights the architect had required were uneconomical based on the project value. In keeping with refusing to use artificial roof slates, the ground floor extension is fully slated and has a seamless aluminium gutter fitted for a very clean appearance. Using our in-house brick matching expert Robert, we were able to almost identically match the bricks and, if you look at the loft conversion, you will see what happens when you don't pay attention to detail like this. Inside we fitted a brand new kitchen over underfloor heating and a utility room with a downstairs wc, but the most striking feature can be seen in the photos and this is the 6-pane bi-fold door system. Once again, we were blessed with a client with good taste in design and everything she has chosen hugely complements the excellent building work.

Kitchen with an Integrated Sink and White Appliances 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!
