7 Kitchen Design Challenges and How Pros Overcome Them

Q

White upper and gray lower cabinets.

Maybe do this over by the refrigerator.....

Q

Photo

different backsplash around stove; cabinet "waterfall" by back door.

Q

Photo

Ash gray Farrow & Ball- a gray green

Q

Photo

I like the white and taupey gray. Plus the light wood floors.

Q

Photo

Upper cabinets

Q

Photo
Photo

Again, this looks quite lovely, calm and quiet.

Q

Photo

another view

Q

Photo

more white

Q

Photo

spice rack on the cabinet door

Q

Photo

Everything but the floor is white.

Q

Photo

except for the counter and maybe backsplash - what we might be talking about.

Q

Photo

white hood, white fridge but silver stove and dishwasher. Backsplash interesting.

Q

Photo

Something quite nice about this kitchen.

Q

Photo

Like the clean, simple lines of this. It feels very calming.

Q

Photo

Like these colors but also like this corner open shelf feature.

Q

Photo

This has too traditional of a feel to me. Too much wood. Not exactly sure why else - maybe the sink. The pulls.

Q

Photo

I like the lighter colored wood in this kitchen. But, it may only work with the lighter colored floor. Not sure.

Q

Photo

I really like the gray backsplash. It highlights the wood spoons and cutting board - the objects.

Q

Photo

Painted lower cabinets.

Q

Photo

Painted kitchen cabinets.

Q

Photo

Galley kitchen in white. Interesting floor color.

Q

Photo

I like the wood floors and, of course, the all white. Backspash tile is nice also.

Q

Photo

Galley kitchen like mine. The wood flooring super appeals to me. I find the two different types of counter top surfaces interesting. But I am ambivalent about them.

Q

Photo

Would it be better to take one of the closets and make it roll out like this?

Q

Photo

Like my kitchen, this has space above the regular cabinets. They glassed these in. Not sure if it makes the room look taller or not. Pretty darn high to get things out of there, but saves them from getting dusty. They would have to be beautiful, but I often use my beautiful things. Negatives: cost and ease of access.

Q

Photo

Kitchen cabinets were repainted.

Q

Photo

What's on the shelves

Q

Photo

Just like the feel of this.

Q

Photo

This pantry looks very clean and simple. Love the idea of a calm contrasting color of the back wall.

19 Design Tricks to Maximize a Small Kitchen

Q

Some interesting ideas - cabinets all the way to the ceiling and more.

Q

Photo

another white kitchen with wood flooring.

Q

Photo

Love this color of backsplash.

Q

Photo

This half cabinet, half open shelf looks somewhat interesting.

Q

Photo

Another option.

Q

Photo

while the end of my counter isn't this deep, still wonder how it might look and work. particularly if we use the same wood as on the open shelving.

Q

Photo

Love almost everything about this kitchen.

Q

Photo

The glossy aspect of this. Reflective. Not sure I would want this, but interesting. Pulls are nice.

Q

Photo

Love this! Open bookshelf replacing the cabinets. Don't know how practical in terms of getting up and down, but it's not practical now anyway. Love the wood floors and the cabinet pulls although I don't think they would look good on my existing cabinets.

Q

Photo

I like how light and bright this kitchen is. I would need a new dishwasher. The vent hood on this is white (my existing color) but the stove is the same. Wood floor would be perfect. Not sure how to get that done.

Q

Photo

like the spacious feel of this and the all white

Q

Photo

Interesting sink with side faucet and cutting board. I like the idea of now dish draining rack.

Q

Photo

variety of products on these open shelves

Q

Story

white cabinets, open shelves. simplicity

Q

Photo

I like these open shelves and maybe the lighting. But what I like most is the simplicity and the 2 different types of coffee makers, the small tea cups, etc.

Q

Photo

This looks so calm with the white cabinets and tile and the warmth of the wood. Although David Lebovitz says if he were to remodel again, he would have all stainless or marble counter tops.

Q

Photo

Similar to what I've been thinking of. Note the green wall.

Q

Photo

Lo mismo

Q

Photo

Hmmm.

Q

Photo

I like how there are shelves above the sink. It makes me wonder about extending the cabinets to the ceiling. How would the area above the sink look then? Would upper (to ceiling) cabinets have to have something to link them?

Q

Photo

Love that this could go in the closet and leave more cabinet space for taller things - say above the microwave.

Q

Photo

different kind of look for upper cabinets

Q

Photo

White. Extending cabinets up to the ceiling. Open cabinets

Q

Photo

Nice storage next to the dishwasher.
