Other highlights from the kitchen include a quartzite waterfall countertop in Super White, panelled appliances that add to the understated look, eye-catching oversized pendant lights from Ralph Lauren and a Calacatta marble backsplash that adds both warmth and sophistication.

Andy Langley We've been lusting after beautiful mustard colours for a long time now, and we decided to finally take the plunge. We knew that the arrangement of cabinets that we had created for the back wall would look perfect in a statement colour, with the beautiful open walnut shelving that perfectly complements this colour palette. We love how the rich intensity of this timber adds such a sophisticated vibe to the kitchen and helps to break up the yellow slightly. We also knew that we had the island that we could use to create an eye-catching feature in the design. We kept the same white quartz worktop on the island, as it has a gorgeous wrap around feature that we think works perfectly with the rest of the kitchen. We love Inchyra Blue by Farrow and Ball, and after seeing so many of our customers use it in their kitchens, we knew that we needed to incorporate it in some way into the Pelham Kitchen. We didn't want to overpower the India Yellow in any way and didn't want it to feel like the colours were battling against one another. By having the small island finished in Inchyra Blue allows both colours to separately gain attention and create a beautiful comfortable feeling within the room. We wanted to create subtle points of symmetry throughout the room, so used walnut backings within the Ladbroke handles to tie in with the other use of the walnut in the kitchen.

Fabuwood Galaxy Frost + Cobblestone Kitchen | USA Cabinet Store Chantilly

Fabuwood Cabinetry

This Washington DC kitchen is as luxurious as it is modern. The neutral color scheme is made up of Fabuwoods Galaxy Frost Cabinets, a Galaxy Cobblestone Island, MSI surfaces Calacatta Gold marble countertops, an offset subway tile marble backsplash, and natural wood flooring, and is accentuated by small bursts of red for an added touch of drama. The false ceiling over the island is illuminated by both cove lighting and recessed lighting, adding sleek elegance to the design, and a Samsung smart refrigerator brings the kitchen’s function into the future. However, the cherry on top is the beautiful wet bar that elevates this open welcoming space into the ultimate host’s kitchen.

既存のシステムキッチンにミーレの食洗器を

すはらひろこ　片づく収納プランナー

ミーレの食洗器を新規にビルトイン。幅450ミリでステンレスパネル。ホワイトもありますが、今回のイメージはキリリ感が欲しいのでステンレスに。収納ドアに合わせてパネルをオーダーすることも可能ですが、期間と費用がかかります。幅450の場合、選べる機種は主に2タイプ。今回は静音タイプであることが条件です。そこでミーレ目黒ショールームで相談したところ、表示パネルが英語ではなく日本語表記がいいのでは？と的確なアドバイスがありました。静音＆日本語表記にしました。運転の方法を細かく設定できるので、きちんと確認できたほうがいいわけです。シンプルな顔つきのフロントパネルのデザインが素敵です。既設のキッチンに後からビルトインすることができます。それには、アンダーカウンター（ワークトップ下の収納ユニットの幅が45センチなのか60センチなのか？が分かればOK。また、給排水管と電源が必要なので流しの脇であることと、電源があること。電源は収納ユニットの背後にあるので、通常は隠れていて見えません。それは、業者さんに下見で確認していただきたいことです。このキッチンの場合は、食洗器右側にある収納ユニットを外すと裏側にありました。あと、キッチンカウンターの高さが850ミリであることも忘れてはいけません。いずれにしても下見を依頼するのがマストです。すはらひろこ

Kitchen with Grey Splashback and Plywood 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!
