1920's Remodel and Basement Extension

The kitchen is practical and welcoming and is perfect for a bust family. It also incorporates a spiral wine cellar. CLPM project manager tip - spiral cellars can be installed in most ground floor locations. You do not need to have a basement. You generally don't need planning permission to install them and they can usually be installed in under a week without much disruption.

Hanging in Balance Kitchen Design | Astro Design Centre | Ottawa, Canada

Astro Design Centre

This old tiny kitchen now boasts big space, ideal for a small family or a bigger gathering. It's main feature is the customized black metal frame that hangs from the ceiling providing support for two natural maple butcher block shevles, but also divides the two rooms. A downdraft vent compliments the functionality and aesthetic of this installation. The kitchen counters encroach into the dining room, providing more under counter storage. The concept of a proportionately larger peninsula allows more working and entertaining surface. The weightiness of the counters was balanced by the wall of tall cabinets. These cabinets provide most of the kitchen storage and boast an appliance garage, deep pantry and a clever lemans system for the corner storage.

Sweet Cottage Kitchen & Bath in Barrington

Advance Design Studio, Ltd.

This 1930's Barrington Hills farmhouse was in need of some TLC when it was purchased by this southern family of five who planned to make it their new home. The renovation taken on by Advance Design Studio's designer Scott Christensen and master carpenter Justin Davis included a custom porch, custom built in cabinetry in the living room and children's bedrooms, 2 children's on-suite baths, a guest powder room, a fabulous new master bath with custom closet and makeup area, a new upstairs laundry room, a workout basement, a mud room, new flooring and custom wainscot stairs with planked walls and ceilings throughout the home. The home's original mechanicals were in dire need of updating, so HVAC, plumbing and electrical were all replaced with newer materials and equipment. A dramatic change to the exterior took place with the addition of a quaint standing seam metal roofed farmhouse porch perfect for sipping lemonade on a lazy hot summer day. In addition to the changes to the home, a guest house on the property underwent a major transformation as well. Newly outfitted with updated gas and electric, a new stacking washer/dryer space was created along with an updated bath complete with a glass enclosed shower, something the bath did not previously have. A beautiful kitchenette with ample cabinetry space, refrigeration and a sink was transformed as well to provide all the comforts of home for guests visiting at the classic cottage retreat. The biggest design challenge was to keep in line with the charm the old home possessed, all the while giving the family all the convenience and efficiency of modern functioning amenities. One of the most interesting uses of material was the porcelain "wood-looking" tile used in all the baths and most of the home's common areas. All the efficiency of porcelain tile, with the nostalgic look and feel of worn and weathered hardwood floors. The home’s casual entry has an 8" rustic antique barn wood look porcelain tile in a rich brown to create a warm and welcoming first impression. Painted distressed cabinetry in muted shades of gray/green was used in the powder room to bring out the rustic feel of the space which was accentuated with wood planked walls and ceilings. Fresh white painted shaker cabinetry was used throughout the rest of the rooms, accentuated by bright chrome fixtures and muted pastel tones to create a calm and relaxing feeling throughout the home. Custom cabinetry was designed and built by Advance Design specifically for a large 70” TV in the living room, for each of the children’s bedroom’s built in storage, custom closets, and book shelves, and for a mudroom fit with custom niches for each family member by name. The ample master bath was fitted with double vanity areas in white. A generous shower with a bench features classic white subway tiles and light blue/green glass accents, as well as a large free standing soaking tub nestled under a window with double sconces to dim while relaxing in a luxurious bath. A custom classic white bookcase for plush towels greets you as you enter the sanctuary bath. Joe Nowak

Small Modular Kitchen Designs

The warmest space in most Indian homes is the kitchen — literally and figuratively. This is where you spend most of your time cooking, sharing meals and entertaining. Hence, it is really important that your kitchen design is the perfect balance of style, functionality and your personality. You can achieve this balance even in small spaces or with simple kitchen designs by planning the layout carefully and ensuring the crucial components, like the refrigerator, sink and stove, are placed strategically. Several other changes like the placement of kitchen decorations can be made during a renovation to meet your needs. Take a look at beautifully designed kitchen images for inspiration. While exploring kitchen ideas there are some things to keep in mind. Browse and save kitchen photos with ideas that are similar to the layout of your current space. This will help in the arrangement of larger appliances. Also, Indian kitchens contain a variety of appliances, pots, pans and utensils so be sure to look for photos with kitchen storage ideas.

How do I plan my kitchen layout?

If you are thinking of a kitchen renovation project focus on the layout. It is crucial as it helps in planning the kitchen storage and interiors. Even if you opt for a modular kitchen you can choose from a variety of kitchen design ideas. U-shaped, galley or single wall layouts are great options for tight spaces. You can have cabinets on both sides to maximize storage space or place a breakfast bench on one side. L-Shaped layouts work well for larger spaces, providing a lot of room for a central island, cabinets and large countertops. Another kitchen design idea to think about is the golden triangle – where the refrigerator, stove, and sink are arranged in a triangle formation, no more than 2.7 metres apart. Reviewing kitchen pictures will help in visualizing these tips.

How do I maximise kitchen storage?

No matter the size of your kitchen, you always need extra storage. If you have a small kitchen design,vertical cabinets will help maximise the space from floor-to-ceiling. Open kitchens create an illusion of space and utilize floor area well. Kitchen accessories, like baskets, pull out trays and hanging pot holders, are good solutions and aesthetically pleasing. Overall, the aim of kitchen organization is to have clutter free countertops. Clutter free countertops provide ample room for meal preps and act as a serving spot too.

What materials and finishes should I use for my kitchen design?

The style of your home will determine the kitchen interior. Pick a colour scheme to work around. While monochromes schemes are very common, try contrasting colours and textures. Use quartz and granite for elegant yet simple finish. You can experiment with the kitchen flooring by using terracotta tiles to create patterns or laminate flooring to create a hardwood look. The kitchen cabinets are perfect to experiment and play with colours. Try to incorporate pastel coloured cabinet doors to create a warm look or use coloured glossy textures to give the kitchen shiny contrast style.

What kind of kitchen decor should I use?

Kitchen decorations should be functional and help add a good vibe to the room. An aesthetically appealing kitchen will help set the mood while entertaining. Table runners, mats, flowers in bright yellow and turquoise blue will add cheer to your kitchen. The most functional kitchen decoration idea is a chalkboard; it is a fun way to plan meals and jot down grocery lists. Another recommendation is to have a small herb garden or succulent arrangement against kitchen window to lighten up the space. While looking for kitchen idea inspiration don’t forget to keep the in mind the kitchen layout, storage, finishes and decor must all represent the style of the room. Also, browse through photos and other decor ideas for the rest of your home on Houzz.
