Un vert menthe pour une touche de fraîcheur ?

Vision D'espaces / JULIEN CHAMBON

Un vert menthe pour une touche de fraîcheur ? C’est le choix audacieux du propriétaire de cette nouvelle cuisine. Le résultat est ravissant ! Une couleur à la fois douce et reposante qui se marie parfaitement avec le blanc porcelaine mat des placards. Le plan de travail en bois apporte de la chaleur et vient renforcer l’atmosphère « Nature » présente dans la pièce. Une cuisine ouverte travaillée tout en longueur pour y intégrer de nombreux placards ainsi que l’électroménager. Pour faire le lien entre les deux espaces cuisine & salon, un meuble TV assorti à la cuisine a été créé. Si vous aussi vous souhaitez rénover votre cuisine, contactez-moi dès maintenant !

栗東の家リノベーション

ALTS DESIGN OFFICE (アルツデザインオフィス)

住み継いだ家本計画は、築32年の古家のリノベーションの計画です。昔ながらの住宅のため、脱衣室がなく、田の字型に区切られた住宅でした。 1F部分は、スケルトン状態とし、水廻りの大きな改修を行いました。既存の和室部を改修し、キッチンスペースにリノベーションしました。キッチンは壁掛けとし、アイランドカウンターを設け趣味である料理などを楽しめるスペースとしました。洋室だった部分をリビングスペースに変更し、LDKの一体となったスペースを確保しました。リビングスペースは、6畳のスペースだったため、造作でベンチを設けて狭さを解消しました。もともとダイニングであったスペースの一角には、寝室スペースを設けほとんどの生活スペースを1Fで完結できる間取りとしました。また、猫との生活も想定されていましたので、ペットの性格にも配慮した計画としました。内部のデザインは、合板やアイアン、アンティークな床タイルなどを仕様し、新しさの中にもなつかしさのある落ち着いた空間となっています。断熱材から改修された空間は、機能性もデザイン性にも配慮された、居心地の良い空間となっています。

Une cuisine qui a du style !

Vision D'espaces / JULIEN CHAMBON

Les carreaux de métro font fureur ces dernières années. Autrefois rétros, ils apportent du cachet aux cuisines d'aujourd'hui. Le style urbain moderne se transforme selon les associations de couleurs. Par exemple, avec du gris effet béton ciré, il devient 100% tendance. Dans cette cuisine, les propriétaires ont adopté le style urbain chic, grâce à une association de noir et de blanc. Le tout est mis en lumière par les spots encastrés sous les meubles hauts et les fines poignées en acier. Fonctionnelle, cette cuisine dispose de nombreux espaces de rangement optimisés ainsi que d'un coin snack pour deux personnes. Une belle cuisine, harmonieuse et lumineuse dans laquelle mes clients préparent désormais de bons petits plats ! Vous aussi, vous rêvez de transformer votre cuisine ?

Kitchen with Cement Tiles and Wallpaper 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!
