When the collaboration between client, builder and cabinet maker comes together perfectly the end result is one we are all very proud of. The clients had many ideas which evolved as the project was taking shape and as the budget changed. Through hours of planning and preparation the end result was to achieve the level of design and finishes that the client, builder and cabinet expect without making sacrifices or going over budget. Soft Matt finishes, solid timber, stone, brass tones, porcelain, feature bathroom fixtures and high end appliances all come together to create a warm, homely and sophisticated finish. The idea was to create spaces that you can relax in, work from, entertain in and most importantly raise your young family in. This project was fantastic to work on and the result shows that why would you ever want to leave home?

Cuisine - Vernaison

Perene Ternay Faure Agencement

/ L’art de la sérénité Créer un havre de paix aux tons clairs et délicats pour une ambiance douce et reposante, tel était le souhait de ce couple de globe-trotteurs. RENOVER une maison, sans avoir à gérer l’intégralité des travaux, voici le principal avantage que Matys Faure du magasin Perene Ternay a mis en avant pour aider ce couple dans leur projet. Après avoir passé plus de dix ans à naviguer entre la France, le Japon et la Chine, ce couple cherchait à investir dans l’achat d’une maison à proximité de Lyon. Etant souvent en déplacement, il leur était difficile de planifier des visites et d’être réactif pour faire une offre sur les plus beaux biens de la région. Ils ont alors fini par décider d’acheter une maison « en l’état » et de tout y refaire par eux-mêmes. Mais au regard de leur emploi du temps surchargé, ils ont vite abandonné l’idée et se sont mis en quête d’un prestataire capable de gérer, pour eux, l’intégralité des travaux. Proches de la boutique Perene Ternay, ils s’y sont arrêtés et ont trouvé, la réponse parfaite à leur besoin : gestion complète des travaux, souplesse et possibilités infinies en matière d’agencement… Perene était fait pour eux ! Ils ont d’abord commencé à repenser le 1er étage de la maison, avec l’agencement de deux salles de bains. Puis est venu le temps de refaire le rez-de-chaussée, Matys Faure, leur Agenceur, a dessiné pour eux une cuisine fonctionnelle et élégante, en finition rustica gris et V200 blanc mat. Tons clairs et délicats pour une ambiance douce et reposante, à l’image du mode de vie qu’ils ont pu découvrir en Asie. Côté électroménager, le couple s’est fait plaisir avec un équipement MIELE dernière génération. Amateurs de petits plats, ils voulaient se doter d’un matériel à la hauteur de leurs talents culinaires. Aujourd’hui, Matys en qui ils ont une totale confiance, continue l’agencement de leur maison, un living est en cours. /perene Ternay Faure Agencement 04 72 24 86 06 Agencement d'intérieurs www.faureagencement.com

Kitchen with Laminate Benchtops 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!
