Single wall open kitchen design with dark stain cabinets and marble slab backsplash and counter top is perfect for a very light color palette. Using dark colors can make a bold enough statement so "less is more" in this design.

Reforma de una cocina antigua, demoliendo un tabique que separaba de una salita para dar más amplitud al espacio, y realizando una despensa para almacenamiento de viveres. Materiales de alta calidad como encimera Dekton, Armariada en material mate antihuella en azul agua marina, y suelo porcelánico imitación madera. No se ha querido perder el encanto de la casa de materiales en madera oscura y elementos de forja negra, pero dando un aspecto renovado al ambiente.

Samsel Architects With a site situated on a steep slope near Blowing Rock, the design sought to provide an appropriate solution for the land and landscape. Samsel Architects proposed a thin linear footprint that follows the site contours and provides long range views from every room in the house. A contemporary craftsman style presents an original design aesthetic that maintains warmth and utilizes a rich palette of colors and materials. An elevator enables the master suite location on the upper level, taking advantage of views and natural ventilation.

Cuisine épurée et élégante, laqué anthracite mat sans poignée. Les gorges en noyer viennent surlignés l’ensemble. Mariage harmonieux du plan de travail en céramique Néro . La table en chêne massif, teinté noyer vient s’encastrer dans l’ilot .Un bac à herbes aromatiques réalisé en céramique Béton, vient lui aussi s’encastrer dans le plan de travail. La table en épaisseur 65mm, avec ses chants écorcés noircies vient s’opposer à la finesse du plan céramique en 20mm. Une niche en noyer avec éclairage viens s’ intégrer sur la composition d’armoires anthracite ( du sol au plafond).

Modelo AK_05 combinado en dos acabados distintos, laca sand (mate) y chapa de roble. Un detalle importante de este modelo es que podemos elegirlo con el uñero cortado en bisel, con lo cual viene directamente integrado en la puerta creando un efecto muy elegante. La encimera Dekton en color Zenith con canto de dos centímetros le otorga un aspecto robusto, en la superficie encontramos el enchufe integrado en la encimera de la isla, muy cómodo para tener siempre una fuente de electricidad a mano tanto para enchufar la batidora como para poner cargar el smart phone. Justo encima de la placa de inducción la campana integrada en el techo se mimetiza perfectamente con el ambiente. Otros extras de esta cocina que marcan la diferencia es el Teppan Yaki, una placa de acero que actúa como una plancha en la cual podemos hacer gran variedad de platos de forma muy sana. También el calienta platos bajo el horno, que no solo nivela estéticamente el hueco que queda libre sino que también nos servirá para mantener la comida caliente o incluso si eres un poco “master chef” puedes aventurarte a cocinar a baja temperatura. La cocina queda distribuida en dos zonas bien diferenciadas, una es la zona de trabajo que consta de una barra con taburetes altos para por ejemplo tomar un desayuno rápido y por otra parte el comedor. En éste se ha hecho un mueble que otorga espacio de almacenaje extra además de ser muy decorativo.

Expansive Kitchen with Open Cabinets 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.
