Granit Architects + Interiors

Our clients wanted to create more space and re-configure the rooms they already had in this terraced house in London SW2. The property was just not big enough to accommodate their busy family life or for entertaining family and friends. They wanted a usable back garden too. One of the main ambitions was to create enough space downstairs for an additional family room combined with a large kitchen dining area. It was essential to be able to divide the different activity spaces too. The final part of the brief was to create something different. The design had to be more than the usual “box stuck on the back of a 1930s house.” Our solution was to look at several ambitious designs to deliver under permitted development. This approach would reduce the cost and timescale of the project significantly. However, as a back-up, we also applied to Lambeth Council for full planning permission for the same design, but with different materials such as a roof clad with zinc. Internally we extended to the rear of the property to create the large family-friendly kitchen, dining and living space our client wanted. The original front room has been divided off with steel framed doors that are double glazed to help with soundproofing. We used a hedgehog glazing system, which is very effective. The extension has a stepped plan, which helps to create internal zoning and to separate the different rooms’ functions. There is a non-symmetrical pitched roof, which is open internally up to the roof planes to maximise the feeling of space. The roof of the extension is clad in zinc with a concealed gutter and an overhang to provide shelter. Black bricks and dark grey mortar give the impression of one material, which ties into the colour of the glazing frames and roof. This palate brings all the elements of the design together, which complements a polished concrete internal floor and a stylish contemporary kitchen by Piqu.

Steerman Residence

Sof Company

The Steermans kitchen boasts a perfect blend of modern sophistication and rustic charm, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The centerpiece of the kitchen is the Sub-Zero refrigerator, an epitome of luxury and functionality, seamlessly integrated into the overall design. Its sleek stainless steel finish adds a contemporary touch to the space. The countertops are adorned with Kolkata Gold, a stunning natural stone known for its distinctive veining and warm golden hues. These countertops not only provide a durable and practical workspace but also contribute to the kitchen's elegant aesthetic. The farm-style wooden shelves, strategically placed throughout the kitchen, add a touch of rustic charm and a connection to nature. Crafted from rich, textured wood, these shelves provide both open storage and display areas for your favorite kitchenware, adding a personal touch to the space. The cabinetry follows a timeless Shaker style, featuring clean lines and a minimalist design. However, in a bold departure from tradition, the cabinets are finished in a sleek black color. This choice not only adds a modern twist to the classic Shaker style but also creates a striking visual contrast against the warm tones of the Kolkata Gold countertops. The overall ambiance of your kitchen is a harmonious marriage of classic and contemporary elements, creating a space that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and inviting. It's a kitchen where modern luxury meets the comforting warmth of farmhouse-inspired design.

Modern Apartment in Brussels

Isabel Gómez Interiors

The proposed project for this apartment, located on the top floor of a building in the heart of Brussels, carefully combines materials, colours and light sources, giving the space a refined and sophisticated industrial style. Each piece of furniture, such as the custom-made bookshelves, the large glass and metal door leading to a more intimate space, the island and the bar corner as focal gathering point of the room, the extendable table and the large sofa delimiting the fireplace space, is designed to make the space unique. The new electric plan is one of the main elements of the project through which the living space is illuminated in every single part, giving those who live there a feeling of airiness and brightness. The pattern of visible lights on the ceiling is in harmony with the whole living and dining room, creating a perceptible spatial and visual continuity. The centrepiece of the living area is the wood and metal staircase, designed completely from start to finish in accordance with the spirit and style of the flat. The use and arrangement of the metal rods has not only a structural but also a decorative value. Each bedroom reflects the personalities of those who live in it; an intimate environment given by the green colour and the use of dark wood in the main room and a more playful and light space in the second room. All parts of the design have been realised in the desire to create a unique and beautiful environment, capable of enhancing the lives of those who live in it.

Kitchen with Black Cabinets and Slate 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!
