Exotic Green - Appartement 33m² - Paris 9e

NEVA Architecture Intérieure - Interior Design

La superbe cuisine, qui fut très compliquée à réaliser. Vous ne le soupçonnez pas, mais derrière cette crédence, une partie amovible cache le ballon d'eau chaude. Beaucoup d'ajustements et de sur-mesure à cause de ce mur en pente que nous ne pouvions pas toucher. Mais surtout le clou du spectacle: ces magnifiques carreaux zelliges bleu pétrole, assortis à un plan de travail en bois exotique, qui rappellent le bleu du salon. https://www.nevainteriordesign.com http://www.cotemaison.fr/loft-appartement/diaporama/appartement-paris-9-avant-apres-d-un-33-m2-pour-un-couple_30796.html https://www.houzz.fr/ideabooks/114511574/list/visite-privee-exotic-attitude-pour-un-33-m%C2%B2-parisien

A Paris, une cuisine déco ouverte sur le séjour

Anne Chemineau - Decor Interieur

Le projet Un appartement sous les toits avec une cuisine ouverte dont l’agencement est à optimiser, et une entrée donnant sur le réfrigérateur. Notre solution Organiser la cuisine en modifiant les meubles pour gagner de l’espace et intégrer le réfrigérateur non encastrable Smeg. Le mur d’en face avec un radiateur placé en plein milieu et le compteur est repensé : un coffrage en bois habille le radiateur et un placard menuisé dissimule désormais compteur et petits rangements. Une banquette est réalisée sur-mesure et positionnée devant le cache-radiateur en bois, ce qui permet de gagner de la place. D’élégantes petites tables bistrot, plateau marbre et piétements en cuivre en rappel des luminaires apportent un esprit très déco à l’ensemble. L’entrée maintenant dégagée du réfrigérateur est finalisée avec un superbe papier-peint au motif de nuages, que vient compléter une console vintage agrémentée d’un portrait ancien. Du côté de la salle de bains, le meuble vasque jusqu’alors peu fonctionnel est finalisé avec des tiroirs menuisés en placage bois. Le style Le charme de cet appartement très déco et féminin est conservé dans la cuisine afin de prolonger le séjour. Le bleu déjà présent sur les murs guide le choix du papier peint et les tissus de la banquette. Le placage bois du cache-radiateur permet de garder un esprit raffiné et chaleureux.

Modern Charm Spanish Remodel

Sato Architects, Inc.

Sato Architects was hired to update the kitchen, utility room, and existing bathrooms in this 1930s Spanish bungalow. The existing spaces were closed in, and the finishes felt dark and bulky. We reconfigured the spaces to maximize efficiency and feel bigger without actually adding any square footage. Aesthetically, we focused on clean lines and finishes, with just the right details to accent the charm of the existing 1930s style of the home. This project was a second phase to the Modern Charm Spanish Primary Suite Addition.

Projet Sèvres

Mon Concept Habitation

Achetée dans son jus, cette maison de ville de 145m² était particulièrement sombre et avait besoin d’être remise au goût du jour. Dans le séjour, notre menuisier a réalisé une superbe bibliothèque sur-mesure avec façades en cannage et verre trempé, qui vient habiller une cheminée vitrée résolument moderne. La cuisine a été repensée dans un esprit convivial et naturel grâce à son papier peint Isidore Leroy et ses façades Ikea gris vert qui font écho aux arbres du jardin. L’escalier qui mène aux espaces nuit et bien-être a été poncé, vitrifié et repeint pour lui donner un coup de frais et apporter du cachet. Au premier étage les chambres d’enfants ont été optimisées pour créer une salle de bain supplémentaire, un dressing et un coin bureau. Le dernier étage a été quant à lui aménagé tel un espace parental. Les jolies charpentes en bois massif ont été conservées et sublimées pour mettre en valeur une chambre agréable et fonctionnelle incluant des rangements sur-mesure ainsi qu’une salle d’eau dédiée. Les teintes douces bleu-vert associées au bois et au blanc viennent ponctuer les différentes pièces de la maison tel un fil conducteur parfaitement pensé.

White Kitchen with Terra-cotta Floors 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!
