Located in a townhouse, the kitchen’s custom wooden cabinets are a sleek touch with the burners set right below small glass windows. You can choose to eat at the wooden table, island seating, or take meals out in the adjoining patio with verdant landscaping. Use the walls and keep things nice and open by hanging plenty of storage hooks like these black rail and hooks used to store mugs. It means you have all your mugs on display and easy to grab for a cup of tea, and along with open shelving it’s a way to avoid upper cabinets, which can sometimes feel a little heavy in a tight space.

• And they carry the same colors or material finish from one area to the next to create a cohesive feeling throughout.
• For an authentic farmhouse look, consider vintage or vintage-inspired wooden cabinets.
• In this open kitchen and dining area, large swaths of white create continuity and a clean look.

A well-equipped kitchen sink with space either side for draining is useful. ‘Get the largest sink you can fit,’ advises chef and food writer Judi Rose, brand ambassador for Franke. To help you decide on the most suitable extension for your needs, start by asking your kitchen designer for advice. Kitchen extensions are now a common request, so many kitchen companies will be able to recommend a good builder or architect to help bring your kitchen ideas to life. It’s also worth asking friends and family for recommendations of tradesmen in your area.

Kitchen Ideas for Every Layout and Style

This kitchen uses dark textured wooden cabinet doors mixed with concrete-looking quartz worktops with an exposed brick wall section to give it that industrial nod. As with any kitchen, large or small, you need to think about the journey. There’s a triangle of use within every kitchen, the journey made from fridge to sink to oven – the key elements that need to be considered. Look to use vertical solutions to make the most of every storage space available. Small kitchen design requires you to make use of every inch of storage space you have. Adding an island might sound like a terrible idea in a small kitchen.

Even an overwhelmingly white kitchen can have tons of personality—and this space is a prime example. The result is a space that’s high on style, even while it’s low on color. Clean lines and beautiful natural stone combine to create a deliciously light-filled and luxe kitchen conceived by Lara Ette Design. The cabinetry adds texture while the clean-lined benchtops ensure the room feels contemporary and fresh. One of the most expensive parts of a kitchen renovation is the labor, so you can save money by doing DIY projects. And when it comes to materials, there are lots of affordable but beautiful options, like butcher block, laminate, and quartz countertops.

Use this scheme for your cabinets, walls, and backsplash to create a unified look. When space is limited, a kitchen island with storage and seating can double as a prep area, dining table, and storage unit, maximizing the functionality of your kitchen. Make a bold statement with a kitchen island featuring a waterfall edge where the countertop extends all the way to the floor on one or both sides.

• A large picture window floods the tiny kitchen with natural light, making the compact space feel open and airy.
• The width of island will need to be at the minimum 600mm but 90mm, 120mm or more will give you more breathing space.
• A wall-mounted vacuum charging station can make quick work of kitchen messes and even add a new routine to your nightly cleanup.
