DEANE Inc | Distinctive Design & Cabinetry

The clients were looking to use this second home for entertaining friends and family, so it was critical to be able to comfortably host groups while still feeling intimate and maintaining privacy. DEANE designed an outdoor kitchen using exceptionally engineered and crafted polished and brushed stainless-steel outdoor cabinetry with a waterproof, weathertight case that was also insect/vermin-proof, ensuring performance in all conditions. The 16 linear feet of functional cooking and entertaining space houses a set of refrigeration drawers and icemaker, a built-in grill, full sink, trash & recycling receptacles, topped with Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops. DEANE collaborated with the general contractor, architect, and landscape architect to cohesively work with other crucial outdoor elements, which included an outdoor tv, spa, as well as separate seating and dining areas to create memorable times together.

The Georgian Manor House

Papilio

Papilio Bespoke Kitchens designed this kitchen and breakfast room following the latest trend of “The New Natural” (phrase coined by Elle Decoration) for an impressive Georgian manor house within close proximity to Bristol in South West England. The kitchen space is tall and long and had restrictions due to its Grade II listing, however Papilio’s Creative Director worked closely with the client and architect to ensure that not only are all of the listed building restrictions were adhered to but also that the finished kitchen was spectacular. The styling draws influence from the original Georgian features but also pulls in a contemporary Scandinavian feel. The work surfaces and Aga range cooker have been set at an above average level as requested by our taller client, this is one of the many benefits of a bespoke kitchen. The plinth heights are also a very specific bespoke detail requested by the client. Another unique bespoke detail requested was for the cat’s food and drink bowls to be recessed into the lower section of an open cabinet. Whilst most of the kitchen is finished in an oak veneer with crisp clean lines and beautiful textures, the sink run is finished in an opulent Calacatta Oro marble which we sourced direct from Italy. The finishing piece for the wet area was the renowned and unique Gooseneck regulator in antique brass by Waterworks. The appliance schedule included a 5-door Aga range cooker with an electric module including gas burners, this style of cooker allows for a great deal of versatility in cooking styles. We also specified the Miele flagship fridge freezer, the “MasterCool” and the brand new addition to the Miele dishwasher range “Knock 2 Open” which allows for the discreet handle detail in this bespoke kitchen to continue uninterrupted through the design.

Kitchen island

Balber Architecture, Inc.

The expansive island in this kitchen draws your eye to a wall of glass. The view is of the open water of Tampa Bay. The home's main level is 14' off the ground so when you're in the kitchen it actually feels as though you're floating on the water!

Kitchen with Brown Splashback and Slate 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!
