Une maison baignée de lumière - Projet Tulipes

Direction le nord de la France, à Marcq-en Baroeul. Ce projet a été conçu par l’architecte d’intérieur Sacha Guiset et réalisé par notre agence Lilloise. Dans cette jolie maison rénovée partiellement, l’objectif était de donner un nouveau souffle au rez-de-chaussée en l’inscrivant dans l’air du temps et en apportant un maximum de lumière. La circulation de l’entrée, la pièce de vie et la cuisine ont été repensées dans leur globalité afin que chaque pièce ait une fonction bien précise. Dans l’entrée, l’accès direct au séjour a été condamné et remplacé par une jolie fenêtre avec cadre en chêne qui donne sur le séjour et laisse passer la lumière. L’imposte qui se trouvait à proximité de la cuisine a été récupéré et utilisé pour créer une superbe porte verrière réalisée sur mesure par notre menuisier. Sacha a pensé la cuisine comme un espace familial et agréable en L. L’îlot central avec plaque et hotte intégrée permet de fluidifier la circulation et de cuisiner tout en gardant un œil sur le séjour. Quant au coin repas réalisé dans le prolongement de l’îlot il apporte un côté convivial et pratique à la pièce. On aime l’association des modules IKEA et façades en MDF plaqué chêne, du plan de travail en quartz silestone et de la crédence effet zellige rouge terreux qui vient réchauffer l’ensemble. Sans oublier l’attention accordée au détail des poignées de placards en demi-lunes noires, qui font échos aux cadres des fenêtres, aux chaises en bois et aux appliques Zangra. Dans le séjour, Sacha a remplacé l’initial poêle à bois par un insert d’angle axé sur le salon, intégré à une banquette basse réalisée sur mesure pour ajouter du rangement. Côté déco, Sacha a opté pour des objets et coussins aux teintes terreuses qui contrastent avec le blanc et apportent de la chaleur à l’intérieur.

Stainless steel floating shelves

Jan Neiges, CMKBD with NKBA

My husband and I cook a lot, and because of that I wanted to have our everyday dishes easily accessible, so I have them stored on floating shelves next to the cook top. I selected stainless steel shelves to compliment the stainless steel hood and back splash. It was imperative to have the stainless steel back splash making it easy to clean up, instead of grease build up on the brick. The wall cabinets have lift up hinges, because it clears the floating shelf...if I had used standard swing hinge...I would have had to reduce the width of the wall cabinets.

Kitchen with Red Splashback and White Benchtop 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!
