Projet Bartholdi

Anne Meunier

La cuisine a été déplacée et recréée dans la salle à manger. J'ai opté pour une cuisine ouverte IKEA avec des façades de meubles hauts superfront. Tout l'essentiel est là, four combiné, plaque, lave linge frigo bas et en haut la hotte et des placards hauts. Dans une harmonie de gris et beige la cuisine s'harmonise avec le bois du sol et le béton des suspensions.

Die kleine Küche und das anschließende, ebenfalls nicht großzügig bemessene Esszimmer habe mit einem Durchbruch verbunden. Es ist in beiden Räumen sehr viel heller geworden und es fühl sich etliche qm größer an. Der Parkettboden wird in der Küche mit einem Fliesenspiegel aus Fliesen in Zementoptik (sind aber auch Keramik und sehr strapazierfähig) unterbrochen.

Un pied-à-terre parisien tout en douceur

Anne Chemineau - Decor Interieur

Un appartement des années soixante désuet manquant de charme et de personnalité, avec une cuisine fermée et peu de rangement fonctionnel. Notre solution : Nous avons re-dessiné les espaces en créant une large ouverture de l’entrée vers la pièce à vivre. D’autre part, nous avons décloisonné entre la cuisine et le salon. L’équipe a également conçu un ensemble menuisé sur mesure afin de re-configurer l’entrée et le séjour et de palier le manque de rangements. Côté cuisine, l’architecte a proposé un aménagement linéaire mis en valeur par un sol aux motifs graphiques. Un îlot central permet d’y adosser le canapé, lui-même disposé en face de la télévision. En ce qui concerne le gros-oeuvre, afin d’obtenir ce résultat épuré, il a fallu néanmoins reprendre l’intégralité des sols, l’électricité et la plomberie. De la même manière, nous avons créé des plafonds intégrant une isolation phonique et changé la totalité des huisseries. Côté chambre, l’architecte a pris le parti de créer un dressing reprenant les teintes claires du papier-peint panoramique d’inspiration balinaise, placé en tête-de-lit. Enfin, côté salle de bains, nous amenons une touche résolument contemporaine grâce une grande douche à l’italienne et un carrelage façon marbre de Carrare pour les sols et murs. Le meuble vasque en chêne clair est quant à lui mis en valeur par des carreaux ciment en forme d’écaille. Le style : Un camaïeu de beiges et de verts tendres créent une palette de couleurs que l’on retrouve dans les menuiseries, carrelages, papiers-peints, rideaux et mobiliers. Le résultat ainsi obtenu est à la fois empreint de douceur, de calme et de sérénité… pour le plus grand bonheur de ses propriétaires !

Kitchen with Laminate Benchtops and Panelled Appliances 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!
