Best kitchen designs in the world
22 of the Best and Brightest Kitchens in AD
Have we ever been so collectively attuned to the inner workings of our own kitchens as we have during the past few months? Long a hub for everyday work and life, the coronavirus lockdowns have sent droves of previously uninterested individuals into a bread-baking frenzy. But cooking projects aside, the kitchen has been a room of much attention for those passionate about interior design for quite some time. Some like them bright, light, and white—and undeniably modern, sleek, and streamlined. Others are partial to a more rustic aesthetic, and the French variety of this subset in particular. Others still seek out kitchens that break free from the proverbial bundt cake mold, opting to bring exceptionally unique and colorful spaces to life.
Over the years, AD has featured thousands of kitchens in its own pages, speaking to a litany of different tastes in the process. Below, we present 22 of our personal archival favorites—which represent a wide swath of this stylistic gambit. Read on to browse the creations of some of the best interior designers working today—organized from most recent to oldest, and with detailed sourcing information. You’ll also find more than a few enticing tidbits along the way, from Anne Hathaway’s Swiss-inspired cook space to the room in which artist Urs Fischer makes the culinary magic happen.
Inside the Berkus-Brent Manhattan townhouse.

Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent’s New York Kitchen
Calacatta marble was used for the countertops, backsplash, and oven hood in the kitchen of Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent’s new Manhattan townhouse. Nonetheless, it is the smaller details of this scene—the wire cabinet screens and symmetrically placed lamps—that stand out as the most distinctive features of this May 2020 image. Moreover, the bigger story of this feature was not so much an ode to marble but the very fact that the family had picked up and left behind their California home.
“One thing I can promise you,” Berkus commented to AD this spring, “is that I will never again tell a publication that a house is my ‘forever home.’” “We learned our lesson,” Brent added. “We shan’t be saying that again!” In other words, maybe this isn’t the only Berkus-Brent household kitchen you’ll be seeing in upcoming years and decades.

A Moroccan Mélange
Local tiles and reclaimed marble form the bedrock of this kitchen, which features a vintage English pendant lamp and Malian textiles. The location is Tangier and, more specifically, a home that one New York couple took four years to renovate. AD100 designer Frank de Biasi commented to AD at one point in the April piece, “For me, layout and function and livability come first.” The house happens to be de Biasi’s own home, and a fantastic one at that. The pale greens and copper pots seen inside the kitchen are just the beginning of its colorful palette, and one that in part helped inspire a permanent relocation.
“To be based here is just so much easier,” de Biasi reflected at the time to Hamish Bowles. “Life is led at a more measured pace.”
This English kitchen was created by Patrick Mele.

A London-Set Ode to Color by Patrick Mele
Between its Wolf stove and IKEA table, this kitchen runs the gamut in terms of style and price point. However, it’s the room’s unbridled use of color that make it truly worthy of the limelight. What’s more, its hand-painted Iznik tiles infuse the space with floral forms, while the vintage 1960s chairs and a nearby stool draw its pops of red further out. At the time, designer Patrick Mele described the home, which he decorated for a London-based couple, as “a little bit of bad taste, a little bit of fabulous taste, and a lot of books.”

One Colorful California Kitchen
Plummy purples and rich greens saturate the kitchen of this California home, where abstracted floral cutouts carry the day.
Those cutouts can be seen on the room’s cabinetry, while Shaker chairs and an upholstered bench help emphasize the room’s pattern and texture. The open plan is further accentuated thanks to copper pots and contrasting pendant lamps. “If ornament is crime, Katie is my accomplice,” designer Frances Merrill said of her client, Katie Jordan, to AD. Crime or no crime, what’s abundantly clear is that the room is perfectly arranged to help make for a very happy home.

Studio Peregalli’s Bavarian Retreat
For one of two cover stories for the centennial issue of the magazine, writer Laura May Todd traveled to Bavaria to visit a countryside retreat. Designed by AD100 firm Studio Peregalli, the home’s kitchen featured Portuguese tiles, Peperino marble countertops, fir cabinets, and an iron hood. “He wanted a dreamy place,” firm cofounder Laura Sartori Rimini recalls of the client’s vision.
“So, in every room here, we created a small world.”
One artist’s delight.

Urs Fischer’s Culinary Studio
In December 2019, West Coast editor Mayer Rus traveled to artist Urs Fischer’s personal Arcadia, located in East L.A. Rus described the room seen above as a “giddy, polychromatic field of encaustic tiles that forms the floor of his voluminous mad scientist-meets-gourmand kitchen.” The Swiss sculptor added, “Some rooms, like the kitchen, you want to make you feel up and excited.… Other rooms, like the living room, you want to lower your heart rate.” At the larger of the two tables pictured, chairs by Hans J. Wegner offer perches on which to sit. The colorful cement floor tiles were made using an encaustic, or hot wax, paint method. Fans of Fischer’s work may be reminded of some of his most famous pieces, which are constructed out of wax, and melt into newly deformed shapes once their wicks are lit.
Studio Shamshiri's design.

Anne Hathaway’s Swiss Vision
No, this kitchen, published in a fall 2019 issue of AD, is not set somewhere in the French countryside. Instead, it’s located in Southern California, and is inhabited by none other than actress Anne Hathaway and her husband, Adam Shulman. Inspired by Swiss ski retreats, it was created by AD100 designer Pamela Shamshiri of L.A.’s Studio Shamshiri. “Pam really leaned into it,” Hathaway told AD at one point. As for Shamshiri, the designer reflects, “We tried to maintain the sweetness that made the house so special while adding new layers of color, texture, and furnishings from different eras that reflect the evolution of the home over time and the warm, generous spirit of Annie and Adam.” Elsewhere, a white La Cornue range matches the Rohl farm sink. Copper pots play nicely off of vintage copper pendants, which are interspersed with light fixtures designed by Deborah Ehrlich.
Hannah Cecil Gurney’s home.

A Blooming de Gournay Kitchen
In the October 2019 issue, AD visited the London home of Hannah Cecil Gurney. Considering that Gurney works for her family company de Gournay, the home was awash with color-filled floral wallpapers. As it happened, the kitchen was no exception. But instead of leaving it all to the chinoiserie, Gurney added additional pops of saturated colors that made the curling vines read almost like a neutral backdrop. (Interestingly, that wallpaper survived an early incident, in which Gurney’s dogs nibbled at its edges.) Simon Smith and Michael Brooke Architects helped design the open space “so the chef isn’t alone while all the guests are having fun next door,” as Gurney explained. The tête chef isn’t Gurney, however, but her husband, who, as she explained, regularly whips up meals to accommodate the couple’s robust entertaining schedule.
Chris Burch’s French kitchen.

Une Cuisine Not Far from Paris
When Chris Burch encountered a historic home not far from France’s capital city, he was quick to fall in love. Nonetheless, that didn’t mean the 1608 hôtel particulier didn’t require a fair amount of work: “It needed renovation; it needed everything,” he told the magazine in May 2019. “But you could just feel it was wonderful.” Indeed. One particularly wondrous corner turned out to be the house’s kitchen, in which Burch installed a La Cornue stove. In a nod to the maison’s historic provenance, Burch kept its original 19th-century table and chairs, while installing a pendant light fixture from the same century and emphasizing tiles and ceramics from the one prior. With minty green paint and blue-and-white cushions, the room became the perfect canvas on which to display fresh fruits and fleurs.
A Mexican tiled kitchen.

San Miguel de Allende’s Blue and White Oasis
This image of a blue-and-white-tiled kitchen in Mexico graced one of the April 2019 covers of AD. The home in question, located in San Miguel de Allende, actually started as two distinct structures—which AD100 designer Michelle Nussbaumer ingeniously united. The colorful and undeniably unique Nussbaumer wasn’t about to whitewash any area of the home, least of all its kitchen: “I love bringing timeworn techniques into a modern era,” she commented at one point in last year’s article. “[A]nd the last thing this place needed was a marble kitchen.” While the jars seen are a mixture of new and vintage pieces, the tiles used were designed by Nussbaumer and made by Ceylon et Cie.
Will Kopelman’s kitchen by AD100’s Gil Schafer.
Photographed by Simon Upton, AD, February 2019
Will Kopelman’s New York Pad
“It was a rabbit warren,” AD100 designer Gil Schafer commented in the February 2019 issue of AD.
“[T]otally opposite to the way families live today.” He was speaking of the über-divided kitchen, butler’s pantry, and laundry room that ultimately gave way to a much more open space. “I wanted to make the kitchen the centerpiece,” Kopelman says of the area’s re-envisioned cookery-filled room. “It’s where I make the girls breakfast in the morning and cook their dinner at night.… I wanted a space that could handle all of that.” It’s also a classic space that reads as more French country than as city-set workroom. The white subway tiles might betray a trace of the Big Apple, but its plate storage, farm sink, and wooden table, which dates back to the 19th century and was originally used by French silk traders, tell a different story. The La Cornue stove and its nearby cacophony of copper pans only accentuate the look. The hood was custom-designed by Schafer to match the range.

A Haas Brother’s Los Angeles Home
In November 2019, AD put together a package of some of the most bold and beautiful kitchen products of the day.
To help further illustrate the multi-page spread, images of enviable kitchens were liberally interspersed. Readers were no doubt hard-pressed to miss this marble-clad L.A. room, owned by Djuna Bel and Nikolai Haas. For collectible-design aficionados, Nikolai’s last name no doubt rings a bell, considering that he makes up one half of the Haas Brothers group. While the kitchen was first photographed for the magazine exactly one year prior, it made another more recent digital appearance, thanks to the newly unveiled series AD Visits. In its inaugural episode, Bel and Haas swept onlookers through this exact, textured space.
The Cobble Hill home.

Athena Calderone’s Swoon-worthy Brooklyn Kitchen
In October 2018, AD popped on over to the Greek Revival townhouse of Athena Calderone in Brooklyn’s Cobble Hill neighborhood. The main story was that Calderone, a designer and the force behind the popular blog EyeSwoon, was finally finished with her house-swapping ways and had found her elusive “forever home.
” Readers may have been quickly distracted by another detail: Calderone’s dreamy open kitchen, which gave way to an enviable office nook. Calderone admitted to AD’s Jane Keltner de Valle that the sun-filled kitchen, which was coated in Calacatta Paonazzo marble, was “the star of the show.” That makes for especially logical sense, considering that much of Calderone’s work rests on documenting the food that she cooks. “For shooting purposes, you need side light, so that’s why we ended up with a square island instead of a rectangle. It sounds crazy,” she said at the time, “but I needed to make certain things work for my brand.” The barstools are by Thomas Hayes Studio, while the range is by Fisher & Paykel. AD100 architect Elizabeth Roberts helped with the design.
Matthias Vriens-McGrath’s kitchen.

One Verdant Californian Dwelling
Matthias Vriens-McGrath has an uncanny ability to understand what makes for a good home.
Why? He’s not only a photographer but also an antiques dealer. Inside his California home, which was once a key dwelling during Hollywood’s Golden Age, a seemingly simple kitchen blooms anew. Paola Navone woven-ceramic bowls and antique majolica pitchers are characteristic of Vriens-McGrath’s knowledge set, while nearby surfaces provide plenty of space for both edible and decorative greenery. “I like to surround myself with beautiful things, whatever they are,” he reflected at one point in the September 2016 issue. “If I love something, I can always find a way for it to live with all the other things I love.”

A Glossy Nantucket Space
On the Massachusetts island of Nantucket, one large and seemingly simple kitchen sits, ready to play host. The centerpiece of the room is its long, rectilinear table and four correlating benches.
Built by Hudson Furniture, all five pieces make excellent use of walnut wood, while the table is covered with acrylic. That glossy finish pairs nicely with the kitchen’s sleekly white cabinetry, as well as its shiny wooden floors. The Lem kitchen island stools were purchased through Design Within Reach. In terms of appliances and fixtures, the microwave is by Gaggenau, the fridge is Sub-Zero, and the sink’s fittings are by Dornbracht.

Louisiana’s Finest Dutch-Enthusiast Kitchen
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is the setting for this Cape Dutch–style home and its expansive kitchen. The waterfront dwelling, which was featured in the October 2014 issue of the magazine, is the result of AD100’s Bobby McAlpine and Ray Booth’s considerable collaborative efforts. (“The place needed to look like it had been here for 200 years,” one of the clients noted to AD at the time of the brief to create a historically accurate home.
) In the kitchen, that meant installing a 17th-century portrait and French antique chairs. The La Cornue range, and other appliances, are, of course, new.
The Houston kitchen.

Miles Redd’s Texan Creation
August issues tend to highlight second homes and seaside escapes. The 2014 issue was no exception, thanks in part to this Miles Redd–designed kitchen. Unabashedly white and with just enough pops of red, it brings to mind a modernized lobster bake. But upon closer inspection, some of its sharpest details come into clearer view: The subway tiles seen extend throughout the entire cavernous space, while not one but two minimal chandeliers are hung akimbo. And yet, the kitchen in question isn’t located along an beachy coastline. Instead, it’s inside the exceptionally colorful Houston home of one couple. “It’s livable glamour, a world’s fair of decorating,” the client told the magazine at the time.
“Around every corner is a surprise.”

Kelly Klein’s Warmly Minimalist Floridian Kitchen
The fact that photographer Kelly Klein’s home betrays more than a trace of minimalist chic shouldn't come as any huge surprise. After all, Klein, whose résumé also boasts her modeling career and work as an author, is the former spouse of Calvin Klein. An August 2012 Architectural Digest article, written by William Norwich and produced by Carlos Mota, visited Kelly at her then-new Palm Beach, Florida, home. Naturally, the home’s pool was of great interest (her book Pools is a famous photography best-seller). But the kitchen was equally appealing as a space to dive into, thanks to its Wolf oven range, Dornbracht sink, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. More striking was its total lack of cabinets. “Some people don’t like looking at their things,” Kelly mused at the time.
“I like seeing my glassware and dishes.”
The AD100 designer’s kitchen.

Muriel Brandolini’s Manhattan Home
For some, it’s the Viking range that catches their eyes. For others, it’s the bespeckled, and sometimes yellow, cabinetry, which alternates various tones. (City Joinery is responsible for them, and yes, those are indeed holes.) This kitchen, which was featured in the March 2011 issue of Architectural Digest, is chock-full of unexpected details—right down to its Czech chairs that date back to the 1930s. It’s no huge surprise that it’s located inside designer Muriel Brandolini’s own Manhattan townhouse. “With the right craftspeople, you give them an inch and then…whoosh!” the AD100 decorator told AD’s own Mitchell Owens at one point in the article. As an example of that very phenomenon, he pointed to those cabinets, which have Brooklyn-based furniture maker Jonah Zuckerman to thank for their enameled Swiss cheese aesthetic.
The table, which further anchors the room, is by Jean Dunandy.
Andrei Dmitriev’s Russian kitchen.

A St. Petersburg Apartment Photographed by Deborah Turbeville
If one were forced to guess which year this image dates from, the answer likely wouldn’t be 2006. And yet that’s when Deborah Turbeville, the photographer best known for her pioneering fashion images taken of women during the 1970s, traveled to Russia to shoot this kitchen and its surrounding rooms. “Most of the furniture is Russian, from different times but mainly from the 18th and 19th centuries,” explains Andrei Dmitriev, an interior designer and former linguist. “I limit modern things to the telephone and the computer.” The kitchen is a perfect example of this approach, with its clear sense of “age and rusticity,” as writer Joseph Giovannini stated at the time. “It’s more formal because I was trying to re-create the ambience of the 19th century,” Dmitriev added of his kitchen, which, complete with its northern Russian table, sits inside the cozy apartment.

One Mid-1990s Atlanta Kitchen
For design enthusiasts, it’s the Alessi tea kettle with bird whistle, famously designed by Michael Graves, that likely makes this image worthy of a double take. But beyond the photo’s foreground and nearby fruit bowl is a richly layered scene to unpack. A painted black-and-gray shelf houses a cloisonné bowl and various Chinese decorative arts works. The entire space, which exists within the Atlanta home of James and Sandy Cape, was designed and renovated by Thomas Britt.
The Fall 1969 cover of Architectural Digest.

A Late-1960s Throwback
For its fall 1969 cover, Architectural Digest chose to draw attention to a quintessentially American kitchen.
Located in the Omaha home of Mr. and Mrs. William Utney, the room in question appears to be a bit older than the magazine issue’s date might imply—and for good reason. Rather than furnish the room with then-state-of-the-art appliances, the couple chose to carefully re-create a typical kitchen from the United States’ earliest days. A crackling hearth, a collection of blue-and-white china, a and ample supply of wooden pieces helped set the scene, while copper, brass, and silver details set the room aglow. Styled with sunny flowers, dried corn, and a bounty of cherry-red apples, the brick-clad space was the embodiment of colonial-revivalism.

Designer Kelly Behun lives among the clouds in a Manhattan high-rise, and there’s an airy, ethereal quality to the spaces she designs. She launched Kelly Behun Studio in 2001 to design interiors, as well as accessories and furniture.
Vintage and custom-made pieces personalize the space, from a walnut-slab bar in the kitchen and a bleached-walnut bed in the main bedroom to a statement braided couch by the Campana Brothers near a glass wall in the family room, a tranquil spot from which to watch the tides.
Design philosophy: liveable, curated spaces, inspired by the surroundings – and not afraid of a white wall

Note Design Studio – a multidisciplinary collective that specializes in architecture, interiors, products, and graphic design – made its intentions clear when the company was founded in 2008: it wanted to get noted.
Color also takes center stage, here, a period property in Stockholm that once served as a fashion brand’s headquarters. The paint, along with three tiled ovens, served as the basis of their palette, eventually evolving into an eight-tone range that sees mossy green cabinets in the kitchen.
Design philosophy: Channeling a Scandinavian design aesthetic of approachable minimalism

Properly equipping your house or apartment is a difficult and important task for any owner.
Rooms should be in harmony in colors, interior. A special place is occupied by the choice of kitchen design, it should have its own atmosphere. This article will offer kitchen interior design options, as well as the necessary tips in this matter.

- 115 Photo of kitchen design. features, pleasant light shades of color of the classical style create a unique warm and cozy atmosphere. This design is perfect for kitchens with high ceilings.
Modern
Look at the photo of a kitchen design in a modern style that offers the user new technologies, unusual materials. Such kitchen design ideas are to the liking of those who love clear shapes, a variety of colors, versatility, smart appliances. Below are photos of 2022 design kitchens in modern styles.
Provence
If you don't like the latest kitchen design in a modern style, then turn your attention to such a style as Provence.
It is similar to the classic, light colors (beige, white, pale green) also prevail here. The floor, ceiling, furniture are finished with wood, which gives solidity and at the same time creates a cozy atmosphere. In Provence kitchens, you can also bring your own kitchen design ideas, for example, beautiful dishes with flower ornaments, various baskets, napkins, flowers. All this gives even more home warmth and pleases the eye. Types of kitchens
You can choose from a corner kitchen and a kitchen-living room. The corner kitchen set is more convenient to arrange, as it is suitable for any area, whether it is very small or huge. It is possible to profitably and spaciously connect kitchen areas with each other. But the kitchen-living rooms are designed in order to leave as much free space as possible. Another name for this type of interior is a studio kitchen. The advantages of this kitchen design are better lighting, freedom of movement around the apartment. With this choice, it will be comfortable to sit in the company of friends and it will not be necessary to install doors, since often an arch takes its place.
And it looks much more interesting. Selection of kitchen furniture, chairs, curtains
This matter must be approached responsibly, everything must be combined with each other and with the overall concept of the interior. You need to choose so that the elements of the interior do not interfere with comfort and coziness. One of the new kitchen design ideas is the bar counter. It can be in the form of a standard wooden bar with chrome inserts, a dining table, a composition (a partition for separating the kitchen). The bar counter will fit perfectly into Provence - flowers, vases, baskets will make the design diverse.
The size of the kitchen also influences the choice of chairs. If the area is large, then you don't have to worry about it. And when the kitchen is small, you should think about folding chairs. They can be removed somewhere after the feast, thereby freeing up space.
Curtains must be beautiful and of high quality.
Their main qualities are to transmit light and hide events from prying eyes, as well as ease of cleaning. The most optimal materials are viscose, polyester, as they are more resistant to dirt than others. The area of the kitchen and the chosen design influence the choice. Wallpaper is not only a background, but also the main decoration of the kitchen. The color of the wallpaper should match the color of the furniture, but not merge with it. You can choose lighter by several tones.
It is better if the wallpaper is washable because it is easier to remove layers of dust and dirt from such wallpaper. Photowall murals, once considered a novelty in kitchen design, add zest to the interior. Now you can order an individual drawing, the main thing is to have money and imagination.
Do not forget that the design elements of the kitchen should be placed wisely, because it suddenly itch to make repairs. In such a situation, it is important to move everything correctly without damaging anything.

The best kitchens in the world - design
Having decided on the need for renovation, most people invariably ask themselves - which of the existing design options is the best? In fact, this question is quite natural and justified, but it is much more difficult to answer it than it seems at first glance.
The likes and dislikes of an individual homeowner are always individual, so the very concept of “best” is far from unambiguous. Today we are going to talk about kitchen design - giving examples of the world's most popular interior options. However, despite their popularity, it is possible to call them "the best" with a certain degree of conventionality. For example, Japanese-style design is very popular, but many people who are indifferent to oriental culture will under no circumstances agree to decorate their kitchen with sakura branches and views of Fujiyama.
At the same time, ardent admirers of Japanese motifs in the interior, armed with a samurai sword, will stand in the way of a designer who will offer them to decorate the kitchen in Provence style. But, after all, the Provence style is no less popular and in demand. You need to choose, but looking for just the “best” option is a hopeless task. It is best to focus solely on individual preferences.
Let's rephrase the original request - you need to look for "the best of the best.
" In this article, we will talk about the most popular design options for kitchens in the world, one of which may suit the readers of our web resource. Design options are provided with thematic images, so you can evaluate the possible prospects for repair work using specific examples. Japanese-style kitchen
A functional distinctive feature of the Japanese-style kitchen is independence from the amount of free space, since this interior can be used even in small-sized standard apartments. The Japanese interior style is not overloaded with design elements, and also involves the use of light shades, which together is not only suitable for small kitchens, but also has a positive effect on the visual increase in space.
The basic rules to follow when creating a Japanese-style kitchen interior are as simple and uncomplicated as possible.
1. The minimum number of decorative elements (this paragraph does not apply to such functional devices as a coffee maker, microwave oven, food processor).
2. The use of light colors for finishing the kitchen (the accent can be made in red and green - at least these are the options used most often).
3. Thematic furniture (it is not necessary to select all elements of Japanese-style furniture, however, individual items must correspond to the general style concept).
4. Multiple light sources (primary plus secondary).
5. Thematic images (do not get carried away too much, but one or two thematic pictures will come in handy).Hi-tech kitchen
It is fair to say that this style for the interior of the kitchen is not often used, but it is impossible not to mention it - since hi-tech has recently gained an increasing number of supporters. A high-tech kitchen designed in a high-tech style most of all resembles not a home version of a cooking place, but a professional “culinary conveyor” of a restaurant.
However, the industrial ambiance of clean lines and metal surfaces of modern home appliances is the preferred option for many homeowners.
True, the embodiment of this style, unlike the Japanese version, is associated with a restriction on the footage of the room. High-tech style looks harmonious only in large kitchens. Provence style kitchen
It is fair to call the Provence style one of the most stable design options that has not lost its popularity for more than a long period of time. However, there is a completely logical explanation for such a long relevance of this direction of design. Provence style embodies home comfort and family traditions, and these concepts are invariably in demand all over the world.
In contrast to many modern design trends, which are distinguished by strict and cold features, the Provence style offers a peaceful and lively atmosphere. These characteristics are ideal for any living space, and even in the case of the kitchen, as they say, there is no better option at all. Nevertheless, we must not forget that the characters of different people are different - therefore, the Provence style is not suitable for everyone.
Scandinavian style kitchen
Scandinavian style also has such characteristics as comfort and coziness, but you should not compare this design direction with Provence - the ways to achieve the ultimate goal have a number of cardinal differences. In particular, the decor elements, and directly the finishing materials of the Scandinavian style, have a unique uniqueness.
Scandinavian style is closer to minimalism - the amount of furniture and accessories is limited by their functionality. The main material is natural (unpainted) wood, which can be used both for furniture and as finishing materials. Often, wicker furniture appears in the interior of the Scandinavian style, but this is not a strict rule.
