Customer Focus: Ashworth Kitchen

Kitchen Craftsmen

Our Osborne Park team sure knocked it out of the park with this stunning renovation for the Ashworth family! The icy Nordic sophistication in this kitchen was achieved by subtly mixing soft-toned Polytec Antico Oak Woodmatt & Tessuto Milan Matt cabinets, Essastone Australia Carrara Matt bench tops, and “White” glass splashbacks in Low Iron Glass by DGW. These contrasting yet complementary colours and textures add light and dimension to the room, without making it feel cold and clinical. The Blum Legrabox Tip-On Drawers add a touch of innovation to this kitchen with their completely handle-less opening. Once considered a niche concept, handle-less kitchens are becoming more popular with discerning renovators, especially those with smaller kitchens.

Houston Kitchen Redesign - Transitional Style With Antiques

InnovationLand

This Houston kitchen remodel and whole-house redesign was nothing less than a time machine - zooming a 40-year-old living space into 2017! "The kitchen had formica countertops, old wood cabinets, a strange layout and low ceilings," says Lisha Maxey, lead designer for Outdoor Homescapes of Houston and owner of LGH Design Services. "We basically took it down to the studs to create the new space. It even had original terrazzo tile in the foyer! Almost never see that anymore." The new look is all 2017, starting with a pure white maple wood for the new kitchen cabinetry and a 13-foot butcher block island. The china hutch, beam and columns are walnut. The small kitchen countertop (on fridge side) is Corian. The flooring is solid hickory with a natural stain. The backsplash is Moroccan blue glass. On the island, Outdoor Homescapes added a small, stainless steel prep sink and a large porcelain sink. All finishes are brushed stainless steel except for the pot filler, which is copper. "The look is very transitional, with a hearty mix of antiques the client wanted incorporated and the contemporary open concept look of today," says Lisha. "The bar stools are actually reclaimed science class stools that my client picked up at a local fair. It was an awesome find!"

Pairing cream colored Medallion Silverline kitchen cabinets with a vibrant blue and gold color scheme, this kitchen design in Haslett achieves the ideal French country style. Cambria quartz countertops and Jeffrey Alexander hardware beautifully accent the cabinetry. A custom hutch in matching cabinet finish offers extra storage and glass front cabinets for displaying dishes and glassware. A Blanco undermount sink fits in perfectly with this design, along with the Eclipse single lever faucet. The tile selection really sets the tone for this kitchen design, with Jeffrey Court blue and gold backsplash tile giving the kitchen a splash of color.

Trend Ivory Kitchen

Alexander Kitchens

This kitchen is another that has been designed and installed by us in the local Horsham area. It has been designed by George Harvey from our Horsham showroom and completely installed by our own local kitchen installation team. This kitchen is styled on a classic country kitchen with shaker kitchen furniture, solid oak worktops and complementing kitchen tiles. The kitchen furniture used for this kitchen is from kitchen manufacturer Trend which is the trade arm of the British kitchen maker Mereway. A Trend kitchen utilises all the experience of the Mereway brand but simply focuses on a core range of simply designed kitchen furniture. The Trend shaker range is perfect for this kitchen as the straight-lined shaker door helps to complement other kitchen elements. The exact door that has been used for this kitchen is the matt foil plain shaker door. The plain design of this shaker door utilises a defined chunky frame which is a classic feature of a country style kitchen. The shade used is ivory which is a creamy shade adding to the country aesthetic. This door is available in eight other plainer shades from white to cream and beige shades like mussel and pebble as well as grey shades like cashmere and dust grey. This kitchen uses stainless steel bar handles for easy access and also a folding door corner unit helping to maximise space.

Kitchen with Beige Cabinets and Blue Splashback 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!
