Now that I’m a wholesome distance from the completion of our kitchen transform, I’ve actually loved looking the gorgeous kitchens different designers have dropped at life. Any kitchen transform, whether or not massive or small, is a labor of affection, and I needed to pay homage to the considerate intention that goes into every design.
Right this moment I’m sharing seven kitchen design examples I really like most and precisely what makes every transformed house so excellent.
01
Shavonda Gardner (proven above)
I really like the eclectic nature of Shavonda’s kitchen design and the best way she mixes coloration and texture. The colours are sudden and create an area that feels wealthy and alive. I really like the combo of considerably formal wallpaper with casual open shelving, and the way mild from the skylight brightens an area full of darker colours and ornate patterns. It doesn’t really feel like a model new kitchen, which I imply in the very best approach.
I additionally love the concept of getting a desk in the course of the kitchen. It feels delightfully casual, quaint, and welcoming. I used to be talked out of placing a desk in our kitchen in favor of a built-in island. I feel from a storage perspective it was the best determination however seeing how beautiful a desk appears on this kitchen makes me nonetheless need one.
02
Sara Charlesworth
I really like that the design of this kitchen strikes a stability of recent with a standard nod. Using the terracotta coloration on the checkerboard ground is my favourite half. Sara took traditional coloration combos and warmed them up a bit which I feel makes the design really feel actually recent.
I additionally assume the dearth of higher cupboards makes the house really feel bigger. Higher cupboards can typically create extra of a “cave-like” feeling in kitchens (though they’re after all usually a necessity for storage functions). I feel that’s why folks gravitate towards open shelving; it has that larger, open, casual feeling. It’s a part of what makes kitchens really feel like real residing areas vs. solely workspaces.
03
Matilda Goad
I first discovered Matilda’s design work once I was in a spot the place I wasn’t stretching my inventive muscle mass as a lot as I might have appreciated. Ever since, I’ve soaked up all the small print, massive and small, in her designs.
Matilda’s kitchen is a customized masterpiece. What I really like most about it are the entire distinctive, very private touches—the scalloped edge behind the sink, the checkerboard tile framing the oven, and even a gorgeous vintage stone swan. I feel that’s the most important factor we will take away from her kitchen—the ability of peppering in design parts which might be distinctive to your personal private style and magnificence.
04
Laura Jackson
Laura Jackson’s house design is de facto inspiring to me. Once I consider Laura’s kitchen, I consider the terracotta ground tiles and the ceiling home windows above the eating space. I really like that nothing in regards to the areas she designs feels model new and that she actually leans into shopping for secondhand items. It goes to indicate you can assume exterior of the field for what the design of your property “ought to” appear to be.
05
Architect Murray Baker + Artist Esther Stewart
This pistachio and orange coloration mixture is completely killer. It’s a straightforward coloration palette to mess up however they did it so nicely. Whereas it’s not for everybody, I feel it exhibits you {that a} kitchen with minimal design parts is not boring. The general really feel is so delicate and beautiful. I significantly love the concept of utilizing outsized {hardware} in the identical coloration as your cupboards—it’s a easy factor that feels actually distinctive in its execution.
06
Ashley Montgomery
Once I first noticed this kitchen, I felt like I used to be going to fall out of my chair. It’s the other of the kitchen above, which highlights lovely design finished with minimal parts. Ashley’s design expertly balances a wide range of supplies and textures by way of actually intentional scale and placement. That is additionally a really useful kitchen that doesn’t spare any house for cupboards or storage. As an entire, this design feels wealthy and vigorous.
07
Friederike – @haus_an_der_linde
I really like that this design takes a really fashionable, Scandinavian-esque format and cupboard choice and pairs them with unbelievable lights that appear to be they belong in a dimly lit bar over a cocktail desk. I really like the big wooden desk, the marble backsplash, and the wealthy wooden flooring—it’s a spectacular mixture of supplies and extremely useful too. The blue coloration of the cupboards can also be lovely. I’ve been wanting to make use of an analogous coloration for years in our house and preserve getting talked out of it; seeing this kitchen makes me need to go for it.
