This custom home, sitting above the City within the hills of Corvallis, was carefully crafted with attention to the smallest detail. The homeowners came to us with a vision of their dream home, and it was all hands on deck between the G. Christianson team and our Subcontractors to create this masterpiece! Each room has a theme that is unique and complementary to the essence of the home, highlighted in the Swamp Bathroom and the Dogwood Bathroom. The home features a thoughtful mix of materials, using stained glass, tile, art, wood, and color to create an ambiance that welcomes both the owners and visitors with warmth. This home is perfect for these homeowners, and fits right in with the nature surrounding the home!

Un appartement chlorophylle au coeur de la Capitale

Anne Chemineau - Decor Interieur

Le projet : Un appartement classique à remettre au goût du jour et dont les espaces sont à restructurer afin de bénéficier d’un maximum de rangements fonctionnels ainsi que d’une vraie salle de bains avec baignoire et douche. Notre solution : Les espaces de cet appartement sont totalement repensés afin de créer une belle entrée avec de nombreux rangements. La cuisine autrefois fermée est ouverte sur le salon et va permettre une circulation fluide de l’entrée vers le salon. Une cloison aux formes arrondies est créée : elle a d’un côté une bibliothèque tout en courbes faisant suite au meuble d’entrée alors que côté cuisine, on découvre une jolie banquette sur mesure avec des coussins jaunes graphiques permettant de déjeuner à deux. On peut accéder ou cacher la vue sur la cuisine depuis le couloir de l’entrée, grâce à une porte à galandage dissimulée dans la nouvelle cloison. Le séjour, dont les cloisons séparatives ont été supprimé a été entièrement repris du sol au plafond. Un très beau papier peint avec un paysage asiatique donne de la profondeur à la pièce tandis qu’un grand ensemble menuisé vert a été posé le long du mur de droite. Ce meuble comprend une première partie avec un dressing pour les amis de passage puis un espace fermé avec des portes montées sur rails qui dissimulent ou dévoilent la TV sans être gêné par des portes battantes. Enfin, le reste du meuble est composé d’une partie basse fermée avec des rangements et en partie haute d’étagères pour la bibliothèque. On accède à l’espace nuit par une nouvelle porte coulissante donnant sur un couloir avec de part et d’autre des dressings sur mesure couleur gris clair. La salle de bains qui était minuscule auparavant, a été totalement repensée afin de pouvoir y intégrer une grande baignoire, une grande douche et un meuble vasque. Une verrière placée au dessus de la baignoire permet de bénéficier de la lumière naturelle en second jour, depuis la chambre attenante. La chambre de bonne dimension joue la simplicité avec un grand lit et un espace bureau très agréable. Le style : Bien que placé au coeur de la Capitale, le propriétaire souhaitait le transformer en un lieu apaisant loin de l’agitation citadine. Jouant sur la palette des camaïeux de verts et des matériaux naturels pour les carrelages, cet appartement est devenu un véritable espace de bien être pour ses habitants. La cuisine laquée blanche est dynamisée par des carreaux ciments au sol hexagonaux graphiques et verts ainsi qu’une crédence aux zelliges d’un jaune très peps. On retrouve le vert sur le grand ensemble menuisé du séjour choisi depuis les teintes du papier peint panoramique représentant un paysage asiatique et tropical. Le vert est toujours en vedette dans la salle de bains recouverte de zelliges en deux nuances de teintes. Le meuble vasque ainsi que le sol et la tablier de baignoire sont en teck afin de garder un esprit naturel et chaleureux. Le laiton est présent par petites touches sur l’ensemble de l’appartement : poignées de meubles, table bistrot, luminaires… Un canapé cosy blanc avec des petites tables vertes mobiles et un tapis graphique reprenant un motif floral composent l’espace salon tandis qu’une table à allonges laquée blanche avec des chaises design transparentes meublent l’espace repas pour recevoir famille et amis, en toute simplicité.

Open Plan Kitchen with Yellow Splashback 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!
