Walnut Kitchen Island

Cabinets & Designs

This is a kitchen that will put a smile on your face every time you walked in. This traditional, white kitchen used gorgeous white, Wood-Mode cabinetry. The dark-wooden island, dining table and chairs are great accents to all of the white in the room. The stainless steel appliances make this kitchen modern and functional. Another functional feature is the glass cabinet doors on some of the cabinets. Having these makes it easy for guests and family members to find their way around the kitchen!

Upper West Side Apartment with Views

Bilotta Kitchen & Home

For this Upper West Side apartment, Bilotta senior designer Randy O’Kane worked closely with Weil Friedman Architects to not only showcase the breathtaking views outside the kitchen, but to keep true to the architect’s plan while creating a functional, and beautiful, kitchen. The color palette for the hand-crafted Rutt cabinetry is clean and soft – “Chantilly Lace” paint for the perimeter and “Thunder” grey for the island. Both have a special glistening sheen creating a bright and welcoming space surrounded by the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline. The breakfast nook is bright and airy with views of Central Park. To be able to have that full wall of windows and still have ample space for all their dishes, gadgets, cutlery etc., Randy helped refine the 11’ island with as much storage as possible. The frameless construction of the cabinetry was also used to allow the greatest amount of interior space for the most storage. As far as finishes, the perimeter has crisp white Glassos countertops while the island is in Calcatta Marble. The backsplash is from Mosaic House’s Nejarine collection, an all-white mosaic tile with a nod to classic Moroccan zellij design. The appliances are a mix of Sub-Zero and Wolf, with fully integrated cabinet panels where possible. The bridge faucet is from Kallista’s “One” collection in polished chrome; the sink is a stainless steel undermount from Julien’s “Classic” collection.

Boerne - Spring Hill Rd

Boerne Kitchens and Baths

This large and bright kitchen was rethought from a dark cabinet, dark counter top and closed in feel. First the large separating wall from the kitchen into the back hallway overlooking the pool was reduced in height to allow light to spill into the room all day long. Navy Cabinets were repalinted white and the island was updated to a light grey. Absolute black counter tops were left on the perimeter cabinets but the center island and sink area were resurfaced in Cambria Ella. A apron front sign with Newport Brass bridge faucet was installed to accent the area. New pendant lights over the island and retro barstools complete the look. New undercabinet lighting, lighted cabinets and new recessed lighting finished out the kitchen in a new clean bright and welcoming room. Perfect for the grandkids to be in.

Client had a closed in tight space in their existing kitchen prior to the renovation. Their island was in a high traffic area and so seating was minimal. Removing the wall and add the peninsula gave ample seating and work space making it a much welcomed flow to this now functioning kitchen. . Revival Arts Photography

Kitchen with White Cabinets and Glass 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!
