10 Inspirational ideas for kitchen design


Monochrome kitchen diner : Monochrome is so well suited to a kitchen-diner, adding designer style to simple white units. Give the look a twist by papering the back wall with a bold floral pattern and fixing a clear acrylic splashback over it to keep it clean and dry.



Monochrome kitchen : Black gloss units give this kitchen its modern look, while rustic worktops and furniture, retro accessories and classic chequerboard floor tiles give a welcoming feel. The room is completed with a styish black and white statement wallpaper.



Rich wooden units : For a big impact in a small kitchen, go for American walnut units with chunky handles to keep them feeling up-to-date. Curved worktops will add extra interest and soften the feel, while floral curtains give the kitchen a contemporary touch.



Ultra-contemporary kitchen-diner : White units and stark worktops create a bright and airy look in this uber-modern kitchen-diner. Ice-blue splashbacks continue the sleek, crisp look, and a central island unit doubles as a food preparation area and breakfast bar.



Modern glass splashbacks : Combine glossy white units with glass splashbacks to maximise the light in the kitchen. Glass shelves and stainless steel appliances will also help bounce light around the room and enhance the sense of space.



Candy-colours kitchen : Create a contemporary feel with beautiful traditional styling by choosing units in a fresh cornflower blue. Here the bespoke kitchen has rounded detailing and a large Belfast sink and is accessorised with a candy-stripe window blind.



Light and bright kitchen-diner : A large dining table provides the focus for this modern kitchen-diner. White walls and kitchen units create a bright room and a wooden storage unit adds warmth and offers the perfect place to display books and family photos.



Zesty kitchen-diner : Glossy kitchen units in caramel shades creates a look that is modern and warm and bounce light around the room. Try extended a kitchen worktop to create an informal eating area, with space underneath for essential storage.



Modern kitchen-diner : A spacious island unit doubles as an informal dining area. Use cream floor tiles and ivory walls to create a light and airy backdrop and them accessorise with warm wooden finishes and pendant lighting.



French doors : A large island unit is great for a kitchen-diner and can be customised with a cooking hob, eating areas and tailored storage details. French doors lead out to the garden table, perfect for alfresco dining. Keep things warm in the winter with a pair of heavy, lined Toile de Jouy curtains.

Designing your custom kitchen

The kitchen has quickly become a place for families to gather and even unwind. With the kitchen becoming an integral part of the home and family, it is no surprise that the design of the kitchen has also become very important.

At Landmark Custom Homes, we believe that every homeowner should create the kitchen of their dreams, that's why we are posting this list of things to do before building your custom kitchen.

These seven simple steps can help you get your kitchen design right:

1. PLAN. Take a minimum of six weeks to brainstorm, discuss, plan, and refine your kitchen design. You’ll have to take into account layout, proportion, storage, and functionality.

2. THINK BIG. How will you use your kitchen? Put your wish list together. Add every thing you want, but know that you might have to give up some of these things along the way.

3. IMAGINE IT. Imagine what you plan to do once your kitchen is complete –dinner parties, family game night or a place to unwind with the family.

4. PRIORITIZE. What are the most important features of your new kitchen? Make a list.

5. GATHER EXAMPLES. Read magazines, and surf the web. Put a collage together of kitchens you like and try to hone in on what you like about them.

6. TAKE YOUR TIME. Take the time to get it right before the construction begins.

7. GET STARTED. Sit back and relax. Let your custom home builder turn your dream into reality.

Good space planning will help you develop the best layout for your kitchen.

Home Design Ideas - Eclectic Kitchen

My better half (Kelley) sent me the kitchen photo below. She loves it and so do I.

Here are a few observations:

• No upper cabinets - most of the storage is below counter height. I suspect there may be a pantry around the corner or pantry cabinets out of view.
• Eliminating the upper cabinets allows plenty of glass
• I like the mix of old and new. Actually its mostly new but a rather ornate crown molding and the carrera marble counters add a touch of traditional and soften the hard lines.
• All of that counter space allows room for accessories to decorate the space. This starts to feel like another room rather than a kitchen.

Design Ideas - Make Your Island Special!

This is the first in a new series that I will be starting called "Design Ideas". What I would like to do is illustrate little design ideas that can help to make your home special. So here goes.

The photo below is a Kitchen in a home that I designed at Larson Brenner Architects. This unique house plan - The Lakeland Cape Cod - is currently available for purchase at Simply Elegant Home Designs.

It is a pretty simple kitchen layout but a few things make it special.

• The kitchen cabinetry composition beyond is kept simple and clean. A soffit with crown molding connects the upper cabinets to the ceiling.
• A "mantle" was designed for the range, which serves as a counterpoint to the fireplace mantel on the other side of the room (not seen in photo).
• Under cabinet lighting provides highlights for the tile back splash and counters.
• An upper cabinet extends down to the counter and is fitted with glass to display the china.
• A solid walnut butcher block on the island top adds warmth and richness. This contrasts with the honed granite kitchen counters beyond.
• A special leg detail was designed for the island corners. The leg detail was also adapted for the stairway newel posts.
• Unique eclectic light fixtures hang above the island; highlighting the wood and help to emphasize that the island is the focal point of the room.

All in all a very simple yet elegant kitchen design. This illustrates that attention to the details can make all the difference.
