85 Kitchen Design Ideas - Remodeling Ideas for Interior Design
1
Make It Feel Extra Homey
Katie Newburn
Just because your kitchen doesn't get a ton of natural light doesn't mean it can't have a sunny disposition. The cheerful yellow wallpaper in Shavonda Gardner's kitchen proves it. Featuring unlacquered copper pots, soapstone counters that quickly patina, and a simple central dining table instead of a kitchen island, the kitchen's lived-in atmosphere instantly makes anyone who enters feel right at home.
2
Place Extra Chairs in Low-Traffic Corners
Annie Schlechter
If the space is small, play around with fun wallpaper. Something with a little sheen will make the room gleam... even if you haven't gotten to the dishes in, uh, a while. Sheila Bridges also opted for a complementary fabric on these accent chairs to enhance the blues throughout and tucked them in a low-traffic corner for convenience.
3
Use Statement Fabric for Seating
Nicole Franzen
Designer Kristin Fine gave her classic farmhouse a modern twist with glossy zellige tiles on the walls, Calacatta marble from ABC Stone on the counters, and vintage opaline pendants, black flush mounts, and vintage stools reupholstered in a mossy Pierre Frey fabric. The exposed beams maintain the countryside roots of the home and the pale green tones honor the forest views outside.
4
Start With One Accent Piece
Haris Kenjar
This kitchen was designed around the homeowners's inherited ceramic collection. She told designer Andy Beers of Ore Studios that she wanted the blue midcentury serve ware and tableware to anchor the entire space, so they mixed in open cubbies and added splashes of red for a vibrant yet straightforward color palette.
5
Remodel Cabinet Uppers to Optimize Storage
Heidi Caillier Design
If your kitchen wall is lined with windows, consider adding a pretty treatment that doesn't totally block the light, like cafe curtains, and make sure your lower cabinets can take care of most of the storage needs. This way, you can forgo lining the wall with uppers. Instead, install one strategic column. Heidi Caillier customized the open shelves for cookbooks, plates, drinkware, and even artwork.
6
Consider the Whole Home
Thijs de Leeuw/Space Content/Living Inside
Designer Nicole Dohmen of Atelier ND only set one rule when embarking on this kitchen remodel: “No more pink!” The rest of the home is dominated by rosy hues, so to prevent it from taking over the kitchen while still ensuring flow with the surrounding rooms, so went with earthy tones on the cabinets. Violet still makes an appearance in the Calacatta marble counter and backsplash zellige tiles, and a dusty blush tone veils the ceiling.
7
Paint Faux Floor Tiles
Read McKendree
Hang cafe curtains for a sweet, playful feel and a touch of privacy without totally blocking light, and then use a matching wallpaper or fabric to line glass-enclosed cabinets for cohesion and hidden storage. Kevin Isbell brought the blue and cream print on his to life by painting the floors a fun, checked pattern.
8
Take Inspiration from Professional Kitchens
Studio Diaa
Super-sleek yet also cozy, this kitchen designed by Studio DIAA blends farmhouse elements, like rustic wooden stools and blond shiplap ceilings, with more industrial materials for a balanced whole. The skylight along with the task pendant allows for optimal light while cooking.
9
Lean Into Eclecticism
Romanek Design Studio
This kitchen by Romanek Design Studio proves that balance is everything. The dark, moody tile walls, sleek backsplash, and stainless steel appliances assert an undeniably glam aesthetic while the wood and brass tones ground the space and give it that classic California warmth. The bohemian runner also adds just enough color and fun.
10
Bounce Light With Dramatic Black Tiles
Chris Mottalini
Designed by Nanette Brown, this striking kitchen is covered in glossy black subway tiles. Not only does that make all the surfaces super easy to clean, but it also helps bounce light and creates a cozy mood to really make the most of the small galley kitchen.
11
Hide Your Hood With Tiles
Heidi Caillier
Cover your hood in the same material as your backsplash to make it look sleek and clean. Here, interior designer Heidi Caillier camouflaged a bulky appliance with zellige tiles.
12
Cheer Things Up With Happy Paint Colors
Amy Neunsinger
Nickey Kehoe opted for a cream and pale yellow color scheme to lean into the warmth of the wood counters and terracotta floor tiles in this small pool house kitchen. The diamond cutouts in the cabinets add another punch of soothing symmetry.
13
Make a Mini Hidden Pantry
George Ross
Since not all pantry goods and appliances can fit in the main part of this kitchen in a great room designed by Brigitte Pearce, she decided to optimize a closet so that it's easily accessible from the cooking zone but also hidden from view in the lounge area. Textured glass pocket doors and bright red cabinets create a stylish surprise.
14
Repurpose Storage Unites
Luca Trovato
When you run out of cabinet space, just repurpose a dresser or armoire to house all of your plates, glasses, and serveware. Francophile Stephen Schubel gave his modest California cottage the royal treatment with antique gilded pieces and an Edwardian plaster cabinet.
15
Hide Ugly Views With Stained Glass
LAURE JOLIET
Stained glass is both good looking and clever. Reath Design blocked a view of the driveway and enhanced street-level privacy by replacing glass panes with colorfully painted ones. This is a great option when you want to introduce color and obstruct a view without blocking all the natural light.
16
Hang On Theme Artwork
Julian Wass
This misty green in a kitchen by Gary McBournie feels beachy, but it's also classic. Neutral décor, like a sisal rug, fresh marble counters, and oceanic artwork, strikes the balance between casual and formal in an open kitchen, too. That contrast is the key to making a tiny space feel dynamic.
17
Mirror Your Surfaces
Dries Otten
If you love shiny stainless steel and edgy mirrored surfaces, take the metallic look to the next level with a gold mirrored island. In this kitchen designed by Dries Otten, the island brings some glamour to the playful elements throughout, like the single pendant light, swirls of pink marble, and cobalt blue loft railing above.
18
Choose an Adventurous Wallpaper
James Merrell
This swirly wallpaper proves that making adventurous design decisions can pay off. In this kitchen designed by Rita Konig, the wallpaper in question is Antoinette Poisson's Jaipur. We love it even more paired with the rich purple-veined marble and painted cabinets. To protect it from water damage, Konig added an invisible glass over the wallpaper between the counter and cabinets.
19
Tuck Away Extra Appliances
MICHAEL PERSICO
Designed by Matthew Ferrarini, this kitchen is bursting with ingenious small-space solutions. He used folding wood pocket doors to conceal the entire counter and cabinet area against the wall. This would be a major game-changer in a studio apartment.
20
Mix Different Tones of One Color
KARYN R MILLET
This Eric Olsen kitchen has serious tile game. If you live by the coast but want something moodier or you simply love blue, take not from the rich navy, gray, and cobalt tones throughout.
21
Add an Extra Sink
Reath Design
An extra sink in this California kitchen by Reath Design doubles as a place to arrange flowers, thanks to a spacious worktop corner nestled into a bright corner. The designers created extra storage below the sink for tools and other essentials by hanging pleated curtains from rods. The skirt, exposed bricks, terra cotta tiles, and pendant lamp all bring a country feel to the mode modern marble.
22
Never Underestimate the Accents
STEPHAN JULLIARD
Now this is how you light up a room. In this Parisian apartment by Studio Razavi, the dramatically large, undulating pendant opens everything up in one sweep. A fun magenta carafe adds a pop of color to the industrial kitchen.
23
Paint the Ceiling
Dominique Vorillon
Architecture and ornamental wall detailing make this kitchen whimsical—and just a touch dramatic. The lavender swirls of paint on a buttercream backdrop complement the elaborate blue chandelier, too. Then the classic, neutral cabinets and island ground the space.
24
Add Greenery or an Herb Garden
Hecker Guthrie
No room for a greenhouse or garden in your home? Start a mini plant collection in the kitchen instead. This way, you can exercise your green thumb and liven up the room (bonus: plant herbs for a truly useful indoor garden). In this kitchen designed by Hecker Guthrie, the glass cabinets add interest without making it feel cluttered.
25
Lean Into Your Fancy Side
DOUGLAS FRIEDMAN
Lacquer, marble, tiles, oh my! This fabulously over-the-top kitchen designed by Michelle Nussbaumer isn't afraid to have fun. For a similar look, choose a backsplash that corresponds with the kitchen island and then use tile on the floors.
26
Blend It All Together
David Tsay
A pale green blends seamlessly between the kitchen and dining area of this "jungalow," by Justina Blakeney, especially when paired with the Moroccan clay tile backsplash and ombre dining bar stools in the living room.
27
Embrace Existing Quirks
PHOTO: Matthew Williams; DESIGN: Studio DB
Rather than seeing the exposed pipe in this kitchen as a design flaw, Studio DB saw an opportunity for a fun pop of red. Now it looks like an edgy, industrial, unique, and colorful accent that anchors the kitchen and puts the stylish breakfast nook in the spotlight.
28
Try a Glass Backsplash
Danielle Colding
Subway tile isn't your only backsplash option. Danielle Colding used a glass backsplash for a shinier, more modern and cosmopolitan touch in this city apartment. It goes perfectly with the lacquered cabinets.
29
Forgo Closed Cabinets
MARCO BERTOLINI
Hang cloth curtains in front of your bottom shelves to hide storage essentials instead of opting for classic cabinets—like in this boldly-colored kitchen architect Viola Simoncioni created for her own home. It feels decidedly more retro and adds some movement.
30
Try an Accent Wall
Danielle Colding
When space is limited, you have to find creative ways to add a little fancy flair. Here, interior designer Danielle Colding added a powder blue accent wall and a sculpture but kept everything else glistening and white. The Chanel tray on the counter for serving also doubles as decor.
31
Paint Your Interior Cabinets
Arent & Pyke
An inky, marine blue will ground a kitchen in an open space and feel more formal than a light color without being as moody and as dark as black. We also love the idea of painting the interior cabinets a color that corresponds with an accent piece in the room, like this orange cabinet designed by Arent & Pyke to match the carpet.
32
Add a Serving Window
Romanek Design Studio
As seen in this Malibu kitchen by Romanek Design Studio, a serving window makes spaces feel more open and air but they also make life easier. Even better, they typically connect the kitchen to a backyard or deck space and promote indoor/outdoor living, so they're especially popular if you live somewhere warm and love to host al fresco dinners.
33
Rethink the Tile Pattern
Jenn Feldman Design
For this Los Angeles kitchen, Jenn Feldman Designs chose a tonal grout to blend in with the navy tile, which is set in a refreshingly unexpected chevron pattern. It feels unexpected and interesting but fits in well since it matches the lower cabinets.
34
Go Big With Open Shelves
Eric Ray Davidson
Have fun with open shelving, stacking plates and adding items that bring personality to the room as a whole. Try framed photos, candlesticks, and art. The retro red appliances are also definitely worth investing in if you love color and nostalgia.
35
Splurge on Stone Materials
Werner Straube
In this kitchen designed by Corey Damen Jenkins, the wood tones, brown marble swirls, and beige bar stools warm up the crisp white staples while the metallic accents add some glam. Jenkins says the granite "was a bit of a sell. I told the clients to look at it as art. Of course, now it's their favorite thing."
36
Lacquer Your Cabinets
Francesco Lagnese
Go glam with a high-gloss deep red reminiscent of wine. The robust, full color adds so much depth and glamour. Proof? This kitchen by Nick Olsen, where geometric tiles pump things up to the next level.
37
Add an Island Extensione
Hecker Guthrie
The light wood tones and metallic pendant warm up the otherwise cool space in this kitchen designed by Hecker Guthrie. This space also proves that a bistro round bistro table situated over the island makes a classic kitchen layout so much more interesting. And it's even fresher when you paint your bar stools a buoyant shade of mint green hue and hang a copper pendant light overhead.
38
Alternate Finishes
deVOL Kitchens
We're really digging the alternating black and gray stained wood cabinets in this deVOL kitchen. The varied tones (plus texture) adds interest to a neutral space. The sandy beige walls keep things neutral but warms thing a little more than a crisp white or super light gray. The shearling chair cover warms up, too, and the interior window creates flow and spreads the light.
39
Accomodate the Pets
DAVID A. LAND
Designed by Matthew Quinn, this kitchen island was customized with a dog bed to accomodate the family's best friend.
40
Use Your Surroundings as Inspo
Nicole Franzen
This coral pink kitchen is like being on vacation all year long. With rattan and bamboo staples and a fresh coat of cheerful pink paint, it's quirky, upbeat, and unique without being too over-the-top. If your home is somewhere warm or tropical, follow suite.
41
Dress Up With Gold
Arent & Pyke
There's nothing quite like metallic to make your interiors pop. Opt for a brushed gold finish on the kitchen cabinets and introduce more down to earth materials like jute to make sure it isn't too flashy, like in this Arent & Pyke-designed kitchen.
42
Go Retro
deVOL Kitchens
This retro-inspired deVOL kitchen is a beautiful blend of classic English design with contemporary functionality. The glass cabinet customized to fit right into the corner and looks beautiful with the baby pink paint and Kelly green backsplash. And of course, that wood-burning fireplace drives home the charm.
43
Invest In Appliances
DOUGLAS FRIEDMAN
When there's not much you can do with a cramped space without making it feel even smaller, add a rug. It'll warm it up, and add color and pattern without overwhelming your kitchen. Interior designer Michelle Nussbaumer also chose a warm color palette and packs plenty of texture-rich materials into the small space.
44
Be Thoughtful of Spacial Relation
Arent & Pyke
There's a lot to love about this kitchen designed by Arent & Pyke, but we're particularly impressed by the careful, asymmetrical balance happening here. The hood leans to the right of the room, as do the bar stools, which is subtlety reflected in the cream lumbar pillow camouflaging into the sofa. Meanwhile, the linear floating shelf in line with the hood as well as the light fixture, island counter, and sofa form a soothing sense of symmetry.
45
Use a Unique Stain
deVOL Kitchens
If you prefer the look of unpainted wood but also like to play with colors, consider dyeing your wood cabinets a unique color. In this deVOL kitchen, the aubergine island and lower corner cabinet is super unexpected. We're also loving all the exposed beams and casual floor tiling.
46
Use Metal Grates
David A Land
Can't decide between glass display cabinets and solid cabinets? Try this happy medium. The metal grates allow for partial visibility and add a shiny touch.
47
Take Design Risks With Lighting
PHOTO: Anson Smart; DESIGN: Arent & Pyke
Lighting provides the perfect opportunity to play with design, and scale in the kitchen. Arent & Pyke clustered a pair of long, narrow cylindrical pendants to offset the formality of this kitchen instead of going with a classic pendant light over the island.
48
Set the Scene
deVOL Kitchens
Contemporary kitchen or dreamy Victorian bistro? Everything in this deVOL kitchen contributes to the narrative of European nostalgia, from the olive green Smeg refrigerator camouflaging against the House of Hackney wallpaper to the wrought iron window boxes fastened to the skylight niches. We're in love.
49
Forgo Overhead Cabinets
Catherine Kwong
The narrow shape of the a galley kitchen tends to present some spacial challenges. In this one designed by Catherine Kwong, the designer opened things up by ditching upper cabinets in favor of a floating shelf. Opting for sconces instead of a flush mount or pendant helps make the ceilings feel a little higher, too.
50
Repurpose Old Items
PHOTO: Reid Rolls
Leanne Ford is the queen of revamping beat up and outdated things. Case in point? This rustic kitchen island. The tin bucket also looks upscale filled with a gorgeous bouquet of roses, as do the walls, thanks to a fresh coat of paint—in Ford's favorite color.
51
Bring in a Subtle Egde
PHOTO: Preston Schlebusch; DESIGN: Studio DB
Concrete floors brings an understated edge to this kitchen designed by Studio DB. While classic hardwood panels or fun colorful tiles would also work well in this family home, the sleek grittiness of concrete is a welcome surprise.
52
Hang Plants
deVOL Kitchens
This country chic kitchen by deVOL is so full of life. The light yellow-painted beams fill it with a sunny energy while the hanging plants and framed plant print make it feel fresh and easygoing, as do the laidback terra cotta floor tiles.
53
Use Creative Shelving
Romanek Design Studio
Use open shelving to add to the utilitarian feel that's still stylish. In this kitchen, Romanek Design Studio opted for a shelving unit that didn't require any renovations and complements the formal black marble surfaces as well as the more casual tile floors.
54
Play Up Architectural Quirks
Mikhail Loskutov
Stained glass, but make it 21st century. If you live in a space that has quirky interior windows (fun fact that I learned at the Tenement Museum: Many old apartment buildings have them because they were built to increase air circulation as a preventative measure against tuberculosis), here's how to make them look intentional and incredibly stylish. In his Brooklyn apartment, Crosby Studios designer Harry Nuriev now gets to look through a rose-colored window every day. He used cut-to-size plexiglass from a shop on Canal street, according to Architectural Digest.
55
Make It Moody
Fantastic Frank
There's nothing sexier than matte black when it comes to kitchen paint colors. Except, that is, when you cover the bottom of the overhead cabinets with a gold mirrored material.
56
Use Tile as a Transition
Lisa Romerein
Try a bold tile to bridge the transition between a darker and lighter colors. We're obsessed with the blue encaustic tile in this kitchen by Steve Pallrand, especially when warmed up by classic wood cabinets and a little plant collection.
57
Lay a Round Rug
Nicole Franzen
Instead of opting for a narrow runner in the kitchen, bring in a round jute rug to warm things up. This shape will work especially well in an open kitchen without a rectangular island breaking up the space.
58
Have Fun With Backsplash
deVOL Kitchens
When it comes to a backsplash, let your imagination run wild. This eclectic turquoise deVOL kitchen gets a surge of graphic style from the artful backsplash. The retro appliances and farmhouse dining table maintain the homey feel.
59
Forget the Kitchen Island
PHOTO: Reid Rolls; DESIGN: Leanne Ford Interiors
If you're kitchen is blessed with tons of counter room for cooking and you want to try something different with the leftover space, fill it with a dining table instead. Choose something with similar proportions, like a large rustic dining table, to achieve a similar layout but with a new twist. We're also into the hide area rug under the table in this kitchen designed by Leanne Ford—it's a the perfect dose of warmth.
60
Make Glassware Pop
deVOL Kitchens
Why hide your favorite glassware behind closed cabinets when they can be displayed out in the open, doubling as decor? The magenta wine glasses in this deVOL Kitchens townhouse accentuate the statement sofa.
61
Spice Up the Island
Arent & Pyke
A folded effect over the edge of the multi-hued island in this Arent & Pyke kitchen feels fresh and fun while keeping the room understated. The circle motif repeats in the pendant light and as a unique custom handle pull on the cabinets.
62
Paint the Floors
Savage Gibson
In this bright kitchen , the spring green painted hardwood floors feel like a warm welcome. The framed print, linen curtains, and striped ares rug carry that sentiment throughout the space. Another important takeaway? A bar cart is probably the finishing touch you didn't know you need in a narrow kitchen without an island.
63
Let the Light Pour In
PHOTO: Felix Forest; DESIGN: Arent & Pyke
Aside from being calming and aesthetically pleasing, having plenty of natural light makes the kitchen a lot easier to work in. When starting from scratch, think about your layout strategically so the spaces where you do the most work are closest to the windows, like the sink placement in this kitchen designed by Arent & Pyke. Then, then add task lighting under the cabinets far away from overhead and natural light.
64
Open It Up With Interior Glass
Hecker Guthrie
This space designed by Hecker Guthrie is a happy medium between an open floor plan and a closed/ split floor plan thanks to the interior glass doors framing the dining room. The dramatic effect is amplified by the light fixture over the dining table, which also helps transition the kitchen to the rest of the space.
65
Try Something Unexpected
David Duncan Livingston
Burnt orange cabinets are unexpected, but add a rustic touch to a kitchen. To add to the effect, hand-forged iron lanterns were hung, but painted white inside to reflect more light onto the island. Copy this slim kitchen island if your space is small since it gets the job done without looking out of scale.
66
Paint It Two Tones
deVOL Kitchens
Why settle for one color when you could have two? Just make sure you choose two complimentary colors so nothing clashes, like the muted mint green and dusty rose pink in this deVOL kitchen. The wood elements and traditional design balance things out nicely, too.
67
Try A French Brasserie Look
Bjorn Wallender
The decorative brass grilles and accents around the stovetop, plus the white pendant lights give this renovated kitchen by Summer Thornton a French brasserie feel. Storage baskets under the kitchen island table dress things down just a touch.
68
Use All Available Space
Sara Tramp
Designed by Velinda Hellen of Emily Henderson Design, this kitchen uses every square each strategically. Since it's tiny, every nook and cranny matters, from the storage basket above the sink to the wall hooks on the side of the cabinet and two-tier floating shelves.
69
Make Marble The Main Attraction
Björn Wallander
Don't be afraid to go marble crazy, from the backsplashes to the countertops and even the floors. The slabs of barely gray honed Carrara marble covering the kitchen of Maxwell Ryan's Hamptons home make for a clean, airy look.
70
Create A Party On Your Floor
House Beautiful
An orange checkerboard floor brightens up this mostly white kitchen by Gary McBournie, while the contrasting blue door adds a quirky touch. Translation: Loosen up and opt for bold colors.
71
Think Practically With Seating
Ngoc Minh Ngo
Barstools with a back are objectively more comfortable for posting up at the kitchen island. They're also a safer option for kiddos at the kitchen counter, a consideration Barrie Benson surely made in this family home.
72
Accent With Brass
deVOL Kitchens
These creamy light brown walls in a gorgeous deVOL kitchen make for the perfect backdrop. The deep blue-gray kitchen island mixed with cool marble surfaces and brass hardware is such a beautifully surprising combination with the strong, earthy walls. Swapping out hardware is an easy way to liven up an all-white kitchen. Choose brass to add a bit of elegance.
73
Drop Your Floor
Annie Schlechter
A dropped floor makes a rustic kitchen feel even larger and special. The exposed wood beams in the ceiling of this kitchen by Jane Hawkins Hoke give it that farmhouse vibe while the fresh coat of paint and pristine condition assure a contemporary, clean atmosphere.
74
Pick A Bold Color
Amy Neunsinger
Take blue and white to the next level with a vibrant burst of cobalt, like in this dreamy kitchen by Mark D. Sikes. It makes a statement but still feels classic and is simply perfect for a coastal beach house (or just someone who wishes they lived a little closer to the ocean).
75
Draw the Eye Up
deVOL Kitchens
Though most of us don't love the look of old heating furnaces in the kitchen, there's not a great alternative. Draw the eye upward with a hanging structure as done here in this deVOL kitchen. Whether you display wind chimes or hang your linens here, it'll come in handy beyond it's aesthetic value.
76
Make It Monochrome
Jonny Valiant
A glazed backsplash and weathered oak island feel sleek and sexy in this kitchen by Jon de la Cruz. Plus, the hanging rack is functional and stylish. If you love the monochrome look but want a little more soul, take note.
77
Get a Wood Island to Ground the Room
Jennifer Hughes
Crafted from walnut, imbuia, and anigre, the nearly 11-foot-long island in this kitchen by Richard Anuszkiewicz was inspired by English antiques. Elegance to the max.
78
Contrast Textures to Make it Feel Historic
Lisa Romerein
The contrast between the rustic stonework and streamlined stainless steel appliances give this French-inspired kitchen by Inga L. Rehmann a serious wow factor. To maximize entertaining space, downsize an island and add a trestle table with stools.
79
Make Purposeful Updates
Victoria Pearson
You don't have to re-do your whole kitchen to make a statement. This kitchen by Frances Merrill has existing countertops and white range, but the cabinets were painted and hexagonal terracotta floor tiles were added, as well as open shelves.
80
Try A Statement Ceiling
Eric Piasecki
A green gingham ceiling and pea-green cabinets by designer Gideon Mendelso give an otherwise classic kitchen some cool points.
81
Choose Dramatic Lighting
Björn Wallander
For an oversized island, like in this Charleston kitchen by Jill sharp Weeks, you need statement lighting of the same scale and proportion .These iron pendants add drama and necessary light without being too over-the-top.
82
Make It Indoor/Outdoor
This kitchen designed by Amber Interiors is California dream. With a floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall door that leads outside, you can enjoy the fresh air at all times. Plus, the light sheers blowing in the wind add an ethereal vibe. Pro tip: Customize glass cabinetry that stretches up to the feeling so it'll feel even more open.
83
Use Taller Kitchen Storage
Eric Piasecki
The subtle color in this kitchen bring a coziness to the space, but don't distract from its traditional style. And we need to talk about that insanely cool rolling ladder. Plus, it'll keep things organized.
84
Create A Chalkboard Bar
Alec Hemer
A chalkboard wall, like in this kitchen by Erin Martin and Kim Dempster, is the most fun way to show off your weekend brunch menu. (Plus, now you don't have to worry about your kids drawing on the walls).
85
What are the 5 main types of kitchen layouts?
House Beautiful
Galley Kitchen: This is as about straightforward as it gets, with two parallel rows of counters, appliances, and storage built-ins along two opposite walls. Galley kitchens tend to be especially popular in small spaces since they work well with standard sizing and also only require two rows with a narrow aisle for standing room.
Straight Kitchen: Straight kitchens are common in small spaces and open floor plan living environments. Unlike the galley, all of the appliances, storage elements, and countertops occupy a single wall while the other wall is optimized with decor or strategic storage. Or, if the room isn't enclosed, it opens right up into a larger space. One of the best ways to separate the kitchen area from the living space in this context is to add a piece of furniture, like a small island, that doubles the counter room and visually sections off each area.
L-Shape Kitchen: This kitchen layout also takes up two walls. The sink, dishwasher, and refrigerator are along one wall or row while the stove is in line with the island or on the corner wall, forming an L-shape. It's a great go-to for busy cooks who do a lot of meal prep and appreciate an easy cleanup job.
U-Shape Kitchen: Just like the above, it's exactly what it sounds like. The appliances and surface spaces form a U-shape, usually framing the parameter of the room. Typically, the sink and dishwasher will be side by side, and then on the corner wall, you'll have your stove and other appliances, like a refrigerator, and one of the counter spaces can even curl off the wall to create a casual breakfast bar. It can help streamline complex cooking, and if the room is big enough, an island can be added in the center.
Open Kitchen: An open kitchen can also be referred to as the great room, but it really just speaks to the types of kitchens that are open to the living room family room, dining room, and/ or breakfast nook. The shared space allows for more time spent together and is especially good for families.
Island Kitchen: An island can enhance a kitchen of various layouts, whether you add one to a straight kitchen, L-shaped, U-shaped, or open kitchen. They can even actually work nicely in galley kitchens if it's wide enough to fit one. Functionally, they can add extra counter space for cooking and casual dining, they can be outfitted to accommodate appliances or extra sinks, and they allow you to pack in extra storage.

The kitchen is an ideal spot to experiment with bold color.

Keep It Classic White
A neutral kitchen doesn’t have to feel bland. Take a cue from the home of Shelby Girard, Havenly's VP, Creative & Design, and weave in natural stone, such as marble or quartzite, along with pops of wood, brass and textured accessories like a rug or window treatments. “I like to bring in decorative elements that make the kitchen feel more than just utilitarian and like a true living space. It has a classic-meets-California-cool style,” says Girard.

If you’re all for thinking outside the box, have fun with the color of your cabinetry. “Modern, luxe and even boho aesthetics can benefit from a pop of color,” says Shelby Girard, VP, Creative & Design, at Havenly. “But think timeless here rather than trendy, with blues, greens and blacks being tried-and-true hues for personality-packed impact.”

Crafting a space around neutral colors calls for texture.

80 interior photos, renovation ideas
The kitchen for many is a favorite place in the house, where you can create exquisite culinary masterpieces, taste them or just spend time with loved ones. To do this, you need to create the most comfortable atmosphere, having thought through not only the decorative, but also the practical component of the interior. The main trends, rules and tips for decorating a kitchen design are all in our article!
Choosing an interior style
The first step in designing a kitchen is choosing a basic style. Even if you want to create a unique project that does not look like others, you must adhere to the laws of a certain design direction. Otherwise, the interior will look ridiculous, ill-conceived and disharmonious. But each style offers a wide field for creativity, the main thing is to follow the basic recommendations.
High-tech kitchen design
The key principle of style lies in the name: high-tech is high technology, the use of which is mandatory in a modern interior. That is why high-tech is an excellent option for the kitchen, where comfort and ease of use of household appliances come first.
Modern materials such as plastic, glass or metal are used for decoration and furniture. Glossy smooth surfaces give the room a slightly futuristic look. The color palette is restrained, often based on the contrast of dark and light.
It's hard to imagine high-tech kitchen design without "smart" fittings: all kinds of lifts, drawers, dividers that simplify life and rationalize space.
Buying home appliances can cost a pretty penny, as built-in, state-of-the-art models with touch controls and LED screens are preferred. However, this is not a pointless purchase, but a contribution to comfort and durability.
Classic style kitchen design
Despite the development of technology and the trend towards rationalization of space, the classic style still does not lose popularity. Of course, we are not talking about traditional pompous aristocratic interiors filled with beautiful but useless decor. Classics adapts to the needs of our time, thanks to which it looks quite modern.
It is better to design a kitchen with a medium and large area in this style, where it will look most appropriate. You can take a dark or light palette, only the shades should be as natural as possible. The same rule applies to finishing materials. Wooden furniture with a deep texture, a small number of patterned elements, facades with frames and glass doors - these components are enough for the artistic filling of a classic interior.
Provence style kitchen design
The style of French villages in the space of urban apartments is rarely found in its "pure" form. Usually it is combined with modern classics, and the kitchen itself is sought to be combined with the dining room and living room. This is due to the first rule of Provence - as much space as possible.
The second thing that catches your eye - light pastel shades, as if burnt out in the hot Mediterranean sun. Preference is given to white, cream, blue - the most natural and unobtrusive colors.
Furniture should have an antique look, which is achieved through the effect of artificial aging. The priority is natural materials or high-quality substitutes that cannot spoil the authentic atmosphere.
The kitchen set includes a large number of open shelves displaying crockery, pots and napkins that enhance the Provencal charm. But it is better to hide household appliances from prying eyes, which the built-in models will do just fine.
Minimalist kitchen design
Unlike the previous solution, minimalism can be inscribed both in spacious apartments and in small Khrushchev apartments. This style is able to transform any space, focusing on functionality.
Clean lines and clear forms of laconic furniture with built-in appliances seem to form a monolithic plane - this is how minimalism creates a sense of order and cleanliness, which is important in the interior of the kitchen. The focus is not on decorative elements, but on functionality, which allows you to competently organize the area.
No more than 2-3 shades are used here, one of which can be bright. In general, preference should be given to neutral colors or the aesthetic texture of natural materials.
Scandinavian style kitchen design
An excellent solution for kitchens where the sun has become too frequent due to south-facing windows. Scandinavian frosty, but very cozy, this style is suitable for interiors of any size.
As in the case of minimalism, design is secondary here - practicality comes first. Such kitchens love white color, natural materials, especially wood, as well as strict forms. If the Scandinavian style seems too simple to someone, then it would be appropriate to add a few bright details that dilute the sterile atmosphere a bit.
Colors
Whatever style you follow, in order for the room to look modern, it is recommended to use a color scheme with 2-3 shades that harmonize well with each other, or stick to a monochromatic design.
White kitchen
Perhaps the best option for kitchen design, which can serve as the main color or a neutral background for others. There is an opinion that a bright interior gets dirty quickly, but this also depends on the material of the surfaces. On the other hand, it looks the most spacious, comfortable, and also has a positive effect on the psyche.
Gray kitchen
Do not think that the interior of the kitchen in gray tones looks boring or gloomy, on the contrary - it is very stylish and modern. To avoid a negative effect, it is enough to come up with a successful color combination, for example, with white, black, blue shades.
Beige kitchen
Natural options like cream, walnut or light wood shades are perfect for classic, Provencal and minimalist kitchens. Monochrome design will help create a cozy and warm atmosphere.
Blue kitchen
The blue color that evokes associations with the sky and the sea is ideal for a peaceful interior. It is better to use when decorating the facades of kitchen furniture, combining with white or brown.
Green kitchen
If you follow the current trends, then be sure to find a place in your kitchen for the most fashionable shade of 2017 according to Pantone. It will make you a little closer to nature, even in an urban environment.
Kitchen finishing
The decoration of any room is like a frame that carefully stores the "filling" and emphasizes its beauty. In the case of a kitchen, the choice of materials plays a key role, especially if you want it to last you as long as possible.
Floor
Kitchen flooring should not be afraid of a drop of grease, pieces of food and moisture. It is from this that one should first of all build on the selection of materials.
An excellent solution - a combination of coverage in different areas. For example, in the work area, you can put ceramic tiles that are resistant to external influences, and in the dining area - parquet or laminate.
Walls
In kitchen interiors, ceramic tiles are most often found in the backsplash area, as well as painted or wallpapered walls. In addition, wall paneling and decorative plaster are used, for example, imitating marble.
The combination of finishing materials allows not only to diversify the design, but also to arrange it according to the principle of functionality. Uniform surfaces are preferred.
Ceiling
The choice of materials for finishing the ceiling in the kitchen depends on the style or height of the room. If the latter indicator is low enough, then an even white coating will be the way out. What's more, it looks stylish and fits any space.
Stretch ceilings can be installed in a modern interior with high walls. They also help organize a complex lighting system.
How to choose furniture and household appliances
This choice directly depends on your needs: someone spends most of his life in the kitchen, preparing breakfasts, lunches and dinners for a large family; and someone comes in once a day to warm up the purchased food in the microwave.
Modern kitchens often include not only a work area and storage space, but also a dining area - which can be as simple as a bar that divides the space, or a large full-fledged dining room.
In addition, kitchen sets differ in layout, which depends on the geometry and size of the room. There are corner models, U- and L-shaped, straight lines, as well as island ones. The latter are recommended to be taken to a medium or large room.
Regardless of the chosen style, kitchen furniture today is increasingly made on the basis of ergonomics, practicality and functionality. For example, drawers, shelves or modular cabinets.
Household appliances built into the headset are very popular today, which allows not only to save space, but also to create an aesthetic appearance.
As for electrical appliances, which no modern kitchen can do without, the list varies. Some owners can add a washing machine or even a TV to the mandatory set. Others will have to use the entire usable space, including lockers and drawers, to arrange only the essential items. In any case, the place for each detail must be thought out in advance!
Decor and lighting
In decorating any interior, the main rule always applies - do no harm. The same applies to kitchens. For example, by placing too many porcelain figurines, you run the risk of soiling or knocking over a fragile part at the very climax of cooking. Of course, a cozy atmosphere is very necessary here, but it can be created with the help of other expressive means.
Glass facades look aesthetically pleasing, through the doors of which sets of dishes, towels or cutlery are visible. Do not forget about traditional napkins, aprons and other textile details - they can become a bright detail in a discreet kitchen design.
Even some napkin boxes or cute salt shakers can decorate a room beyond recognition, and flowers in a pot will refresh a high-tech interior.
Each functional area in the kitchen should be fully lit: worktop, stove, sink, bar counter or island, over which you can install pendant lights.
A good solution is LED built-in light sources along the backsplash. The hood can also be used as a support for additional fixtures.
In addition to local lighting, you need to think about general lighting. Traditional chandeliers or spotlights are suitable for this.
Small kitchen: interior design
The above tips will fit perfectly into a large space, but what about the owners of small kitchens, which are the majority in our country? You will have to try a little more, but this problem can be solved. And for this you just need to follow a few rules!
First of all, it is recommended to resort to changing the layout by combining the kitchen area with the living room. The absence of borders will create a feeling of freedom and spaciousness even in a small room, and different types of partitions will help to visually separate housing.
Secondly, choose light shades and mirror surfaces. It is desirable that the color of the headset does not differ much from the finish.
Third, look for straight or L-shaped floor plans that leave some free square meters to move around. The latter option will allow you to use the often inactive zone in the corner of the room.

Practical kitchen design
Obvious ideas that still go wrong:
- Upper cabinets to the ceiling are standard. The interior of the kitchen with them is built-in modern. Rubbish and dirt do not accumulate. Extra space for rarely needed items.
- Top lifting mechanisms are more expensive than hinged ones, but they do not give any advantages in terms of convenience or appearance - fuck them.
- Lower pull-outs are also more expensive, but much more convenient - it's worth overpaying for them.
- Top handles are not needed for all types of opening. Make the top doors 2 cm longer and open at the bottom.
- Fitted into the sink: double faucet with spout for tap and filtered water; detergent dispenser. Immediately freer.
- Use the window sill by replacing it with a worktop.
- Additional lighting (apron, for example) should be at the entrance to the kitchen on the same two-gang switch with the main one. Not separately, as most do. Ideally, the switch should be conveniently pressed by the knee (admit it, you also like to eat outside the kitchen and often leave with your hands full?).

Kitchen Interior Styles
Modern style does not require perfect adherence to canons and that is why it is so cool.
Below will be about the sensations from the perception of the appearance, and not about keeping the interior of the kitchen in an artificial framework.
Read also an overview of all interior design styles.
1. Scandinavian
Very modern take on a kitchen remodel:
- Simple finishes and furniture
- Neutral colors (white, grey, wood)
- Dotted accents with patterns or bright spots Exit kits , cozy, for minimal money, but with individual touches.
- 3D cubed or black and white patterned backsplash tiles
- Corner bar with window view
- Turquoise walls and floor patterns
- Light gray matte chiseled fronts
- Exposed wiring and painted over concrete156
- Design lamps. Now there are many copies that simply look like Italian and other expensive ones, but which are made in China or Poland. Moreover, they are often not inferior in quality - globalization has a positive effect on the "spread" of design.
- Bold spot color accents. The last paragraph is entirely devoted to color.
- The design of the kitchen is based on expensive things and it will not work on a budget
- Interesting kitchens with unusual ideas from ordinary materials
Let's look at 2 types of colors that I usually do not recommend, but before that I strongly advise you to understand my material about the combination of colors in the interior - without this, the probability of errors will tend to 100%.
There I explained why it is a bad idea to use pure color in furniture and decoration. But the unusual dirty ones and their shades are an interesting solution.
Cold
Pure blue kitchens were in fashion for a while and they were awful. Although the potential of shades is huge.
Add black, we get a kitchen of dark blue color:
Non-standard Kitchen design: painted in the non-neutral color of the facade from the Issue of Words with a passing of its texture. etc.).
The blue is very fresh:
But my favorites are the blue with the addition of gray and green and fade into shades of dirty mint and dirty turquoise. With its unpopularity and non-obviousness, this design solution for the kitchen is quite safe in terms of the chances of a mistake.
But a very risky decision - a green kitchen. This color looks very different under the sun and without it, so I would not recommend using it in a room where there is a lot of natural light - the result will be unpredictable.
The photo clearly shows that there is no need to be smart and just 1 interesting detail is enough to make the interior of the kitchen unusual:
This is the whole point of the Scandinavian style - overall simplicity and local accents.
Many photos and ideas for adapting to real apartments: Scandinavian style kitchen interior.
2. Neoclassic
A very popular style that does not exist in reality.
But the idea is good:
We take neutral elements from classical styles (milling of facades, decorative handles, intricate lamps), but everything else is calmly used modern. This approach is widely used in the USA and is considered a traditional style there.
We leave behind gilding, frescoes, stucco and other deliberate attributes of luxury, which increase the estimate without guarantees of improving the level of repair. Read about neoclassical kitchens.
We get a cozy beautiful kitchen, while not overpaying for the imitation of the classics in household appliances and furniture. Such kitchens, in terms of perception and general sensations from the design, are similar to Scandinavian ones, and in terms of furniture they look like Provence-style kitchens.
3. Loft
Canons are indifferent to us, so we only want from style:
The loft loves big spaces, so it might make sense to get rid of some of the walls. Read about the nuances of the design of the kitchen-living room.
4. Minimalism
A timeless base for all contemporary styles. In real apartments, kitchens are overgrown with a large number of items and end up in an eternal mess. Therefore, our everything is closed storage places.
The standard combination of discreet colors is a white kitchen with wooden worktops. In this design, even a slight mess will not destroy the feeling of minimalism, plus it is practical and inexpensive.
The fattest plus of minimalism is that even if you run into a bunch of mistakes in finishing, choose the wrong floor and furniture, the kitchen design will still remain acceptable.
Dream kitchen design
Kitchen design options from this paragraph without a big budget and drawing up a design project, you should not even try to implement. But individual chips can be peeped.
In many ways, the kitchens in the pictures look beautiful and expensive thanks to luxury materials: stone, stone veneer, parquet on the floor, solid wood on the facades, natural wood on the tables and bar counters.
But there are 2 ideas that can be transferred from a dream kitchen to a real design:
For example, we divide the photo into 2 groups:
