Bilotta Kitchen & HomeBilotta Kitchen & Home
This expansive traditional kitchen by senior designer, Randy O'Kane and Architect, Clark Neuringer, features Bilotta Collection cabinet in a custom color. Randy says, the best part about working with this client was that she loves design – and not just interior but she also loves holiday decorating and she has a beautiful sense of aesthetic (and does everything to the nines). For her kitchen she wanted a barn-like feel and it absolutely had to be functional because she both bakes and cooks for her family and neighbors every day. And as the mother of four teenage girls she has a lot of people coming in and out of her home all the time. She wanted her kitchen to be comfortable – not untouchable and not too “done”. When she first met with Bilotta senior designer Randy O’Kane, her #1 comment was: “I’m experiencing white kitchen fatigue”. So right from the start finding the perfect color was the prime focus. The challenge was infusing a center hall colonial with a sense of warmth, comfort and that barn aesthetic without being too rustic which is why they went with a straight greenish grey paint vs. something distressed. The flooring, by Artisan Wood floors, looks reclaimed with its wider long planks and fumed finish. The barn door separating the laundry room and the kitchen was made from hand selected barn wood, made custom according to the client’s detailed specifications, and hung with sliding hardware. The kitchen hardware was really a window sash pull from Rocky Mountain that was repurposed as handles in a living bronze finish mounted horizontally. Glazed brick tile, by Ann Sacks, really helped to embrace the overall concept. Since a lot of parties are hosted out of that space, the kitchen, and butler’s pantry off to the side, needed a good flow as well as areas to bake and stage the creations. Double ovens were a must as well as a 48” Wolf Range and a Rangecraft hood – four ovens are going all the time. Beverage drawers were added to allow others to flow through the kitchen without disturbing the cook. Lots of storage was added for a well-stocked kitchen. A unique detail is double door wall cabinets, some with wire mesh to allow to see their dishes for easy access. In the butler’s pantry, instead of mesh they opted for antique mirror glass fronts. Countertops are a natural quartzite for care free use and a solid wood table, by Brooks Custom, extends of the island, removable for flexibility, making the kitchen and dining area very functional. One of the client’s antique pieces (a hutch) was incorporated into the kitchen to give it a more authentic look as well as another surface to decorate and provide storage. The lighting over the island and breakfast table has exposed Edison bulbs which hearkens to that “barn” lighting. For the sinks, they used a fireclay Herbeau farmhouse on the perimeter and an undermount Rohl sink on the island. Faucets are by Waterworks. Standing back and taking it all in it’s a wonderful collaboration of carefully designed working space and a warm gathering space for family and guests.

Le richieste di Francesco per la sua cucina non erano molte. In pratica voleva un tavolo da pranzo per ospitare 2/4 persone, un frigo e congelatore capienti, lo spazio per la tv. E doveva avere il piano a induzione perché l'appartamento è di nuova costruzione. Prima di proporgli una soluzione di arredo, mi sono riservata del tempo con Francesco per capire cosa abitualmente fa e cosa si aspetta di poter fare in una cucina. Ho approfondito le sue esigenze attuali e mi sono fatta un'idea delle sue necessità future. Ed ho capito che, senza verbalizzarle, Francesco aveva bisogno di molto altro. Aveva bisogno di molto spazio contenitivo e di tanta illuminazione; la cucina doveva essere facile da pulire e fatta di materiale resistente, soprattutto il piano di lavoro doveva assolutamente essere di facile manutenzione. Siccome è un ragazzo giovane e con gusti moderni, il forno doveva essere assolutamente alto e il materiale di lavello e rubinetti doveva essere adatto ad un uso "senza troppe cerimonie" e, aggiungo io, in nuance con il top e i colori di basi e pensili. Infine, aveva assolutamente bisogno di uno spazio che fungesse da sgabuzzino per mettere i prodotti della pulizia e l'aspirapolvere. Lo spazio di questa cucina rettangolare, con due ante a battente come finestra, è ampio. Gli ho proposto una cucina bicolor, con basi di qualche tonalità più scura rispetto ai pensili. Piano di lavoro in materiale super resistente multicolor ma con tutte le tonalità presenti in cucina. Lavello e rubinetto in nuance, anch'essi in materiale resistente e facile da pulire. Luci sottopensili per tutta la lunghezza e cappa a scomparsa. Ampi cesti scorrevoli molto contenitivi, anche nelle basi ad angolo. Doppia colonna per forno, frigorifero con congelatore e spazio ad uno "sgabuzzino" per aspirapolvere e prodotti pulizia. Sotto al lavello, ampio e comodo spazio per la raccolta differenziata. L'illuminazione è completata da un lampadario originalissimo con più punti luce direzionati verso lo spazio tecnico e verso il tavolo da pranzo. Il tavolo da pranzo è allungabile mediante un meccanismo semplice e funzionale. Completano l'arredo le 4 sedie in materiale leggero e resistente, bicolor, abbinate a coppia. AL posto del rivestimento verticale in classiche piastrelle, ho optato per una pittura super lavabile di una tonalità di verde, con sfumature metalliche/iridescenti, protetta da vernice idonea al locale, che dona all'ambiente calore e particolarità, oltre ad essere in nuance con i colori presenti nel living adiacente.

An open kitchen concept with a large island and breakfast bar create inviting and functional space for all of life's activities. The large island not only provides generous workspace but also ample storage solutions and additional appliance placement. The design is enhanced by the granite countertops, black island and white raised panel cabinetry, built-in shelving, hand scraped hickory hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, and island chandelier.

This beautiful in-frame classic shaker kitchen features a cock beaded front frame, a deep blue hand painted finish, oak veneered carcasses, solid oak drawer boxes and many other features. The exposed brick is a stunning backdrop while the white quartz offers a standout surface. The kitchen has a 100mm in-line plinth which has allowed for an additional 50mm length to each door which is a unique and truly bespoke design feature. There is a walk-in pantry to the right of the fridge/freezer which is neatly hidden behind a translucent glass door – this offers extended worksurface and storage, plus a great place to hide the microwave and toaster. The island is joined to a sawn oak breakfast bar/dining table which is something unique and includes storage below. We supplied and installed some high-end details such as the Wolf Built-in oven, Induction hob and downdraft extractor, plus a double butler sink from Shaw's and a Perrin & Rowe tap. The taps include an instant boiling water tap and a pull-out rinse. springer digital

Expansive Kitchen with Brick Splashback Ideas and Designs

Want to discover beautiful Expansive kitchen ideas to inspire your new kitchen design? You’ve come to the right place. You can discover millions of Expansive kitchen designs and ideas; from kitchen islands and storage units, to all sorts of kitchen lighting ideas, such as pendant lighting or under cabinet lighting. Whether you want inspiration for all-in-one fitted kitchen designs, some small kitchen ideas or maybe just some tips for improving your kitchen decor, there are tons of photos to inspire you for your next kitchen project on Houzz.

What kind of kitchen design should I go for?

With so many kitchen ideas and photos to look at you might be a bit overwhelmed when it comes to picking your own kitchen design. If you are updating your kitchen you know what a big and important decision it is to get the design right – the kitchen can be the hub and heart of the home, and it’s unlikely that you would invest in renovating your kitchen again in a few years. But fear not, focusing first on the important elements like layout, cabinet style, worktops and appliances will help you to bring together your dream kitchen design. Additional elements like kitchen lighting, cupboard storage and decor can come after in the kitchen planning process. A kitchen designer or fitter can help you to decide the layout of your kitchen in terms of where to place your kitchen units, appliances and island (if you’re having one), but if you prefer to handle this yourself you can focus on where you want your key elements of your kitchen to be – the oven, hob, sink and fridge. Of course you might be constricted by space, but try to envisage the easiest and most efficient layout based on how you usually like to cook and prepare your food. If you’re fed up of always having to carry dirty pans and pots across the room to the sink, place the sink closer to your oven and hob. Once you have the core elements sorted, consider extra layout considerations, such as where your bins will be stored, where the cutlery draw should be and where small kitchen appliances can be installed.

Should I include a kitchen island?

Kitchen island ideas are abundant these days; it seems most kitchen designs include a kitchen island, if not multiple islands. However, if the layout doesn’t work, especially if you have a small kitchen, then there’s no necessity to add in a kitchen island. You can add a breakfast bar or counter to your existing kitchen units, or stick with a good old-fashioned dining table if you don’t need the extra work surfaces. That said, if you do have the room, take a look at some kitchen island ideas to see if the designs inspire you for your kitchen. There are a huge variety of island designs to cater to different needs – you can have sinks, ovens, hobs, wine storage and all sorts of drawers and organisers built-in, you can have separate bars and counters that extend from your island, or you could go for a kitchen island on wheels to make your kitchen layout more versatile.

How do I choose my kitchen units and cabinets?

When picking out kitchen units and cupboard styles for a fitted kitchen, you’ll first want to consider the more practical questions – how many units do you need? How many cupboards and drawers do you need? Do you need extra kitchen storage built into your units? It’s always best to overestimate how much kitchen storage you’ll need as we all tend to have a habit of filling up whatever current space we have to the maximum. Next you can consider kitchen cabinet style and colour. Shaker style cabinets and raised and recessed panel cabinets offer a more traditional kitchen cabinet look, while flat panel cabinet doors tend to lend more to the modern and contemporary style. However, going for raised or recessed panel work in a striking colour such as dark blue, green or black can still work with contemporary kitchen ideas. White kitchens can give a sleek and clean feel, but remember you may have to do a bit more cleaning of those cupboard doors if you want everything to stay shiny and fresh. Of course, grey kitchens are the neutral colour choice du jour and can be paired with pale and rich shades alike if you want your fitted kitchen cupboards to contrast with your worktop, splashback, floor, or all of the above. Exposed shelving and storage is also popular for eclectic, Scandi and industrial-inspired looks, so you could opt for glass-fronted cabinets or no wall-mounted cabinets at all. Remember that this will require more restraint in what you can store and more effort in keeping it looking presentable compared to what is stored away hastily behind cupboard doors. The kitchen cupboard handles are also another element to decide upon – do you want traditional round knobs, modern metal bars, country kitchen cup handles or maybe to go ultra sleek with a completely handleless kitchen?

What kitchen storage ideas should I consider?

If you want to keep your kitchen well-stocked and well-equipped but don’t want it spilling over with clutter, then you’ll need to rely on good kitchen storage. Apart from the usual fitted kitchen cupboards and drawer space, there are many other ways of keeping your kitchen tidy. Whilst a large kitchen pantry is the dream of most homeowners, it can’t always be a reality. However, there are now lots of pull out compartments and drawers with trays and shelving that can act as mini kitchen pantries, and you can install handy cupboard organisers that fit onto the inside of the door to make the most of your cupboard space. You can also look at corner drawers and cupboards that open up to reveal lots of extra storage. Rails or small shelves along your kitchen walls or splashback can help with hanging utensils or pans, or storing small items like herbs and spices in an usually empty space.

Are there small kitchen ideas for small spaces?

If you’re working with a galley kitchen, a one-wall kitchen in an open plan space or just a pretty small kitchen, there are some small kitchen ideas that can help you get the most out of your cooking and dining area. If you find that you don’t utilise the back of your cupboards (maybe they become the graveyard for out-of-date tin cans), you could decide to go with shallower kitchen units to free up some extra floor space in front of your cabinets. As mentioned, open shelving or glass-fronted cabinets are a popular trend and they should make the space feel more open and less boxed-in. However, if you have the capacity for it, cupboards and kitchen units that maximise the floor-to-ceiling space you have will mean you can use all of that for valuable kitchen storage. Wall or ceiling racks could be a useful solution for hanging pans and pots if you’ve run out of cupboards in which to store them. Kitchen ideas and accessories such as baskets, trolleys and storage jars are both aesthetically pleasing and practical as they give you extra storage space. Kitchen appliances like a fridge or dishwasher can be tucked away in built-in units in fitted kitchens so they blend into your layout and don’t make the space look crowded. Discover all the small kitchen ideas you could need by taking a look at photos of compact kitchens.

What sort of kitchen lighting should I go for?

In the kitchen you need to have practical lighting – no one wants to chop, cut and cook in a dingy room. Kitchen ceiling lights are probably the best way to go, but should you opt for recessed spotlights or traditional hanging ceiling lights? While spotlight LED kitchen lighting will give you excellent light, they may not fit with a design that’s not contemporary. Traditional chandelier lights could work for other kitchen styles, and of course, kitchen pendant lighting comes in all sorts of styles, colours and designs. While the popular choice is to go with one or two pendant lights over your kitchen island, you could also opt for a single pendant light over your dining space, or a few spaced out across your kitchen. Of course, if you want good lighting for your worktops, under-cabinet lighting is the way forward. Speak to your kitchen supplier about having this pre-installed, or there are a number of easy-install options you can fit yourself or with the help of a lighting expert or electrician.
