Top 10 Kitchen Designs Ideas
A theme is essential for a great kitchen. Why more so than some other rooms in your home? The answer is simple: because you are dealing daily with some of same sorts things used in the middle age to defend against and kill castle raider. Yes, sharp object, and very hot liquids.
Having a good style or theme for you kitchen is necessary for three reasons:
First, it makes you home more aesthetically attractive, thereby increasing its property value.
Seconds, it makes it more pleasing for you and your family and friends to be in the kitchen, thereby adding quality time with family and friend.
Third, it makes actually using your kitchen more efficient and effective, thereby giving you more pleasure in the food-prep.
These are some examples of good design.
Note that the kitchen island stands out with a color difference, giving a more distinct separation of space and function. The full sink in the island matched with the prep sink allows for more chefs in the kitchen. Also note the coordination of stone and tile, granite countertops with the backsplash tile. Using glass doors and lighting in the upper cabinets very effectively uses that otherwise dead space for displaying beautiful ceramic plate collection, adding color and more points of interest.
Here we first notice the bright light, combining both the natural light, and making wonderful use of two lovely pendant lights. The effect of the lighting is further maximized through the light colored cabinetry. Yet, notice the dramatic effect of the ebony stained island, making it seem almost like a dining table or furniture. And even the little detail of the clock placement adds to the overall flow of the space. By placing an elegant, almost antique large clock over the doorway, the eyes are draw to the space beyond to the beautiful French doors.
This is a wonderful example of how to use a smaller space to full capacity. The straight line of the back wall cabinetry is counter-matched by using more flowing organic lines for the main counter and island. The rounded island allows great prep areas. And even though the back wall seems heavy, full, by using the step style the space is visually off-set and dynamic. Also, given that this is a smaller space, the use of light colors maximizes the space.
The round pendent lights here work beautifully to counter-point the round kitchen stools. Notice also that the lines of the stools are not straight. The tailoring or narrowing heightens the visual tension between the light reaching down from above and the stool reach up from below. This is a lovey example of how to use object in combination to draw the viewer’s gaze into the heart of the kitchen. Finally notice the excellent choice of the clear stove hood, which will sever its purpose with demanding a heavy or visual toll for it duty.
