BECKER KITCHEN

RFK Kitchens

Objectives Mr and Mrs Becker wanted to completely update their kitchen to create a bright modern feel with everything streamlined, and to increase storage and usability but to retain their existing American fridge freezer. As the kitchen was open plan to their dining area it needed to work with both spaces and sit harmoniously within it. What We Did The clever bit was was to remove as much of the wall between the utility and the kitchen effectively opening up the utility and kitchen space so that it worked more as one. This enabled us to install the American fridge freezer in the original utility space with a 400 mm pull-out larder to the RH Side zoning all the food storage. The boiler is hidden in a wall unit in the utility and a washing machine integrated to stream line the utility with the kitchen. As the previous utility sink was removed we fitted a new hot outside tap along with a cold. As a consequence of situating the American fridge freezer in the previous utility the kitchen space was dramatically opened up enabling the large island with curved ends & space for 2 x stools as a seating area. This neatly linked the kitchen space with the dining area as well as making the kitchen more sociable and user friendly space. Karndean flooring was fitted through out the ground floor again opening up the space. Stella Negro black mirror chip work surfaces from Silestone with matching Silestone sink completed the sleek and modern look. The Result A stunning bright contemporary kitchen maximising the space with zoned storage through-out, feeling much bigger yet with more storage. Most importantly It really has the wow factor! Testimonial We were recommended to Rugby Fitted Kitchens by friends whose new kitchen we absolutely loved. From our very first contact with Tom the Designer at RFK we received 1st class service. We had a wish list of items we wanted to incorporate into our design & changed our visuals as we went along. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We were advised our build would take a total of three weeks to complete & the whole process from start to finish was totally seamless & ran like absolute clockwork & totally to plan. The skip arrived in ample time before the fitters started & was taken away just after they had finished. The kitchen fitters, electricians, plasterers & floor tilers were all extremely friendly, clean & tidy & Rusty & Ray in particular certainly both had a meticulous eye for detail which is just what we wanted. We have had Neff products installed as well which are certainly top of the range in quality & would highly recommend. We have recommended RFK to my parents as they love our kitchen so much & they are now looking to have a kitchen from RFK as well. I would also recommend the Neff evening cooking event. It only was not only thoroughly enjoyable, it was hugely informative & I learnt so much more about the products we have purchased. Thank you RFK. Rachel & Phill Becker

Manor Cove

Carlton Edwards

This room, formally a dining room was opened up to the great room and turned into a new kitchen. The entertainment style kitchen comes with a lot of custom detailing. The island is designed to look like a modern piece of furniture. The St. Laurent marble top is set down into a mahogany wood for a furniture-like feel. At the range, we incorporated stainless steel countertops, an induction range from Thermidor in stainless steel so the whole cooking center is really integral. The stainless steel in the material and color pallet is very seamless. Above the range, we installed steel panels with a natural waxed finish. All appliances are fully integrated to give a discrete seamless design. At one end of the kitchen, is a beverage center with refrigeration, an ice maker, and storage. The opposite end of the kitchen is repurposed with two existing hutches and added gears and new lighting beyond. Interiors: Carlton Edwards in collaboration w/ Greg Baudouin

The simple, yet elegant interior palette includes slate floors, T&G ash ceilings and walls, ribbed glass handrails, and stone or oxidized metal fireplace surrounds.

Kitchen with Black Splashback and Ceramic Floors 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!
