Un premier achat pour accueillir une future famille - Projet Tardy

Niché dans le 15e, ce joli 63 m² a été acheté par un couple de trentenaires. L’idée globale était de réaménager certaines pièces et travailler sur la luminosité de l’appartement. 1ère étape : repeindre tout l’appartement et vitrifier le parquet existant. Puis dans la cuisine : réaménagement total ! Nous avons personnalisé une cuisine Ikea avec des façades Bodarp gris vert. Le plan de travail en noyer donne une touche de chaleur et la crédence type zellige en blanc cassé (@parquet_carrelage) vient accentuer la singularité de la pièce. Nos équipes ont également entièrement refait la SDB : pose du terrazzo au sol, de la baignoire et sa petite verrière, des faïences, des meubles et de la vasque. Et vous voyez le petit meuble « buanderie » qui abrite la machine à laver ? Il s’agit d’une création maison ! Nous avons également créé d’autres rangement sur-mesure pour ce projet : les niches colorées de la cuisine, le meuble bas du séjour, la penderie et le meuble à chaussures du couloir. Ce dernier a une toute autre allure paré du papier peint Jungle Cole & Son ! Grâce à la verrière que nous avons posée, il devient visible depuis le salon. La verrière permet également de laisser passer la lumière du salon vers le couloir.

Kitchen addition

Joni Spear Interior Design

The functionality of this spacious kitchen is a far cry from its humble beginnings as a lackluster 9 x 12 foot stretch. The exterior wall was blown out to allow for a 10 ft addition. The daring slab of Calacatta Vagli marble with intrepid British racing green veining was the inspiration for the expansion. Spanish Revival pendants reclaimed from a local restaurant, long forgotten, are a pinnacle feature over the island. Reclaimed wood drawers, juxtaposed with custom glass cupboards add gobs of storage. Cabinets are painted the same luxe green hue and the warmth of butcher block counters create a hard working bar area begging for character-worn use. The perimeter of the kitchen features soapstone counters and that nicely balance the whisper of mushroom-colored custom cabinets. Hand-made 4x4 zellige tiles, hung in a running bond pattern, pay sweet homage to the 1950’s era of the home. A large window flanked by antique brass sconces adds bonus natural light over the sink. Textural, centuries-old barn wood surrounding the range hood adds a cozy surprise element. Matte white appliances with brushed bronze and copper hardware tie in the mixed metals throughout the kitchen helping meld the overall dramatic design.

Van Ness by Storie

Storie Collective

Boho meets Portuguese design in a stunning transformation of this Van Ness tudor in the upper northwest neighborhood of Washington, DC. Our team’s primary objectives were to fill space with natural light, period architectural details, and cohesive selections throughout the main level and primary suite. At the entry, new archways are created to maximize light and flow throughout the main level while ensuring the space feels intimate. A new kitchen layout along with a peninsula grounds the chef’s kitchen while securing its part in the everyday living space. Well-appointed dining and living rooms infuse dimension and texture into the home, and a pop of personality in the powder room round out the main level. Strong raw wood elements, rich tones, hand-formed elements, and contemporary nods make an appearance throughout the newly renovated main level and primary suite of the home.

Meridian Makeover Kitchen

Tristan Gary Designs

We removed a pantry, chimney stack and refrigerator from the middle of the space tp give our clients a huge island with lots of storage. Incorporated the induction cooktop into the island with a downdraft the recirculates in the toe kick. We used a warm, hand made tile for the backsplash. We added many forms of lighting, for options ;-) We used a matte white appliance package with brass handles.

Donner du cachet à un appartement des années 2000 - Projet Courcelles

Mon Concept Habitation

Cette rénovation a été conçue et exécutée avec l'architecte Charlotte Petit de l'agence Argia Architecture. Nos clients habitaient auparavant dans un immeuble années 30 qui possédait un certain charme avec ses moulures et son parquet d'époque. Leur nouveau foyer, situé dans un immeuble des années 2000, ne jouissait pas du même style singulier mais possédait un beau potentiel à exploiter. Les challenges principaux étaient 1) Lui donner du caractère et le moderniser 2) Réorganiser certaines fonctions pour mieux orienter les pièces à vivre vers la terrasse. Auparavant l'entrée donnait sur une grande pièce qui servait de salon avec une petite cuisine fermée. Ce salon ouvrait sur une terrasse et une partie servait de circulation pour accéder aux chambres. A présent, l'entrée se prolonge à travers un élégant couloir vitré permettant de séparer les espaces de jour et de nuit tout en créant une jolie perspective sur la bibliothèque du salon. La chambre parentale qui se trouvait au bout du salon a été basculée dans cet espace. A la place, une cuisine audacieuse s'ouvre sur le salon et la terrasse, donnant une toute autre aura aux pièces de vie. Des lignes noires graphiques viennent structurer l'esthétique des pièces principales. On les retrouve dans la verrière du couloir dont les lignes droites sont adoucies par le papier peint végétal Añanbo. Autre exemple : cet exceptionnel tracé qui parcourt le sol et le mur entre la cuisine et le salon. Lorsque nous avons changé l'ancienne chambre en cuisine, la cloison de cette première a été supprimée. Cette suppression a laissé un espace entre les deux parquets en point de Hongrie. Nous avons décidé d'y apposer une signature originale noire très graphique en zelliges noirs. Ceci permet de réunir les pièces tout en faisant écho au noir de la verrière du couloir et le zellige de la cuisine.

Remettre au goût du jour sa maison ancienne - Projet Versailles

Mon Concept Habitation

Le défi de cette maison de 180 m² était de la moderniser et de la rendre plus fonctionnelle pour la vie de cette famille nombreuse. Au rez-de chaussée, nous avons réaménagé l’espace pour créer des toilettes et un dressing avec rangements. La cuisine a été entièrement repensée pour pouvoir accueillir 8 personnes. Le palier du 1er étage accueille désormais une grande bibliothèque sur mesure. La rénovation s’inscrit dans des tons naturels et clairs, notamment avec du bois brut, des teintes vert d’eau, et un superbe papier peint panoramique dans la chambre parentale. Un projet de taille qu’on adore !

Kitchen with Green Cabinets and Terra-cotta 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!
