Contemporary Lakeside Renovation

JRP Design & Remodel

Our client had been living in her beautiful lakeside retreat for about 3 years. All around were stunning views of the lake and mountains, but the view from inside was minimal. It felt dark and closed off from the gorgeous waterfront mere feet away. She desired a bigger kitchen, natural light, and a contemporary look. Referred to JRP by a subcontractor our client walked into the showroom one day, took one look at the modern kitchen in our design center, and was inspired! After talking about the frustrations of dark spaces and limitations when entertaining groups of friends, the homeowner and the JRP design team emerged with a new vision. Two walls between the living room and kitchen would be eliminated and structural revisions were needed for a common wall shared a wall with a neighbor. With the wall removals and the addition of multiple slider doors, the main level now has an open layout. Everything in the home went from dark to luminous as sunlight could now bounce off white walls to illuminate both spaces. Our aim was to create a beautiful modern kitchen which fused the necessities of a functional space with the elegant form of the contemporary aesthetic. The kitchen playfully mixes frameless white upper with horizontal grain oak lower cabinets and a fun diagonal white tile backsplash. Gorgeous grey Cambria quartz with white veining meets them both in the middle. The large island with integrated barstool area makes it functional and a great entertaining space. The master bedroom received a mini facelift as well. White never fails to give your bedroom a timeless look. The beautiful, bright marble shower shows what's possible when mixing tile shape, size, and color. The marble mosaic tiles in the shower pan are especially bold paired with black matte plumbing fixtures and gives the shower a striking visual. Layers, light, consistent intention, and fun! - paired with beautiful, unique designs and a personal touch created this beautiful home that does not go unnoticed.

Signature Bespoke Scandi-style Kitchen Featuring EWE Handleless Furniture

Searle & Taylor

As part of a modern extension to a 1930’s property, Searle & Taylor was commissioned to design and create a contemporary minimalist Scandi-style kitchen that combines muted earth tones with matt textures and bespoke blond oak furniture. The clients, a professional couple with three young children, wanted a practical kitchen with easy-to-clean surfaces and lots of storage to maintain a stylish and uncluttered look to the open plan room. We suggested they opt for contemporary lacquered laminated handleless furniture by Austrian brand, EWE, that includes carcases, internal storage, pull-out drawers and slab doors in White and Fango colourways. We then suggested that all other natural oak cabinetry was designed and made bespoke by Searle & Taylor to perfectly exemplify the Danish aesthetic. Designed in an L-shape with a central island, this kitchen is split into practical zoned areas. The handleless white cabinetry that faces the island comprises the sink run that includes cupboards, pull-out bins, two 60cm integrated dishwashers by Siemens and a Caple undercounter wine cooler. At the centre of the 20mm Calacatta Gold Suede worktop with specially fabricated drainer grooves is an undermount sink by Franke and a patinated brass Quooker Fusion 3-in-1 boiling water tap. On either side are two bespoke blond oak dresser cabinets with on-trend reeded glass panels and patinated brass handles. The same blonde oak under-cloak bridges both sides at the base of the overhead cabinetry, which also features LED lighting strips, adjustable for task lighting and for warmer tones. The tall run is integrated into the wall for a clean and uninterrupted look. It features tall cabinetry in Fango, a neutral earth tone colourway and comprises further storage cupboards with two Miele 60cm ovens positioned side-by-side. On either side of this central bank are tall cooling appliances, a tall larder fridge by Siemens and a fully integrated tall freezer with internal ice-maker by Liebherr. The kitchen island combines form with function, featuring clean lines throughout. It features the same Calacatta Gold Suede worksurface, which has been built up to 60mm thickness with waterfall end panels on either side, presenting a flowing effect. Mounted within the surface is a Novy Easy recirculation vented induction hob, and with no requirement for overhead extraction, there are three natural oak pendant lights by Tom Raffield. The task side features pull-out drawers along the run, together with a built-in 29cm warming drawer by Siemens. The facing side features blonde oak designed in a typical Scandi vertical slatted aesthetic, with a quirky bespoke twist. It comprises three side-by-side concealed deep cabinets with push-to-open doors. This side of the island also features an overhang to accommodate bar stools by Where Saints Go.

Le salon autrefois séparé de la cuisine a laissé place à une pièce unique. L'ouverture du mur porteur a pris la forme d'une arche pour faire écho a celle présente dans l'entrée. Les courbes se sont invitées dans le dessin de la verrière et le choix du papier peint. Le coin repas s'est immiscé entre la cuisine et le salon. L'ensemble a été conçu sur mesure pour notre studio.

Kitchen with an Integrated 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!
