This Prince Edward County kitchen is inspired by Lake Ontario. “I wanted robin’s egg blue, the shade of the shells you find all over the beaches here,” says homeowner Belinda Labatte. Deep blue Moroccan tile and wood cabinets also nod to the region’s natural setting.

“I like solid wood, colorful kitchens in the country,” says designer Luke Havekes, who opted for a grassy green kitchen in Farrow & Ball’s Bancha for his Eastern Townships home. He also added patterned wallpaper to the ceiling, giving the space a vintage vibe.

The homeowner of this Muskoka cottage fell in love with the idea of using brass accents and a blue and white palette for the kitchen. A large, single-pane kitchen window bathes the sink and island in light, while wire pendant lights and soaring ceilings emphasize the airy feeling. Custom brass edging on the vent hood and  brass toekicks pick up on the warmth of the floor color.

In this modern farmhouse kitchen, sleek cabinets and quartzite stone are contrasted by ceilings trussed in white oak beams. The homeowners opted for prep space and storage over seating. Not pictured is the basement cantina, where the family stores sausages, wine and tomato sauce.

The palette for this Lake Huron kitchen is taken straight from nature. “The lichen and mossy green hues in the kitchen are from the path in the woods, and the robust orange of the tile is taken from pine tree needles,” says designer Penfield of Lucy Interior Design.

Light cedar envelopes this 1,450-square-foot B.C. Cottage, and the kitchen is no exception. “The natural materials created a unity with their environment,” says designer Patrick Warren, who also chose granite counters to match the granite from the beach.

In this coastal kitchen, a mix of bold blue hues and woven textures bring Cali-cool style to the space. According to designer Mariana Postlethwaite, her clients have lots of gatherings, which is why there’s island seating, a breakfast nook and a dining table all in one compact zone. “The caning on the cabinets is made in Mexico — which ties in nicely to my clients’ Mexican-American heritage,” she says.

Lynda Reeves’s lakehouse kitchen was inspired by her many visits to English country homes. “These kitchens often combined antiques of different periods; they were highly eclectic rooms filled with character,” she says. In her kitchen, dark painted wood cabinets, wood panelling and a vintage pine console perfectly encompass the English country kitchen aesthetic.

The combination of open shelving, handmade zellige tiles and watercolored hues in this beachy waterfront kitchen adds to the relaxed, coastal vibe. “This kitchen is beautiful, open and bright, with tiles that shimmer like seashells, ” says homeowner Kirsten Reid.

This contemporary white-on-white kitchen fits right into this modern summer retreat on Bowen Island. Architecture and design firm OMB kept most of the decorating minimal to place emphasis on the sweeping views of the ocean.

This sleek and sophisticated kitchen belongs to Cory DeFrancisco, the principal designer of luxury furniture company Muskoka Living. While his cottage is located on Muskoka’s Lake Joseph, much of his design inspiration comes from his West Coast roots. “The goal was to take an organic approach,” says Cory. “We have an affinity for the laid-back beachy vibe so prevalent in California; it motivates a lot of our furniture design.” An oversized vent hood and ceiling clad in oak plays up the laidback Cali-cool style.

In this Kawartha Lakes cottage, an open-concept kitchen is fit for entertaining with an oversized island and hidden walk-through pantry. “They’re a young family that hosts a lot. They didn’t want a big kitchen that would easily clutter, so there’s a ton of storage,” says designer Barbara Purdy. Despite being spacious, the cottage kitchen still feels cosy with exposed ceiling beams, a stone fireplace and wood accents throughout.

In designer Caroline Bouffard’s cottage in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, she created a country kitchen with concrete-look quartz counters, shiplap, a tin pendant and plenty of open shelving. “I wanted everyone to enjoy the place without worrying about damaging anything or being messy,” she says of the space’s laid-back appeal.

The kitchen in designer Emily Griffin’s cottage-style barn is not a working kitchen — yet. “It’s more of a bar right now, but we plan to install a range,” she says. “Kitchen cabinets felt too conventional, and a sink skirt is an old-fashioned cottage trick. When I put the captain’s chair in place with its toile-covered seat cushion, I switched from the idea of solid linen to full-on toile! We have a bar fridge and microwave hidden underneath those skirts.”

The emerald kitchen in this Bowen Island retreat in B.C. is a showstopper. “The house is filled with different woods and black, gray and white so, in the kitchen, we wanted something colorful, rich and slightly traditional,” says the homeowner of the on-trend green cabinets.

The custom dining table is made out of oxidized oak with an industrial-style darkened steel frame. In the kitchen beyond, a mix of materials, from the rough barnboard lowers to the floating oak shelves and antique hardware, has casual, eclectic appeal.

Designer Sam Sacks turned her “dingy hunting shack in the woods of Frontenac County, Ontario” into a boho haven for her family. For that unhurried mood of a beach holiday, Sam paired natural wicker, rattan and wood accents with a modern white Ikea kitchen. Brass shelf brackets support cedar boards salvaged from the old swimming dock.

This modern Muskoka cottage is the weekend hub of the Metrick clan (the family behind luxury retailer Elte). An island with a cool gray waterfall countertop and built-in storage is a striking counterpoint to the soaring ceiling and the ash-veneered cabinets stained to match the floor.

Nautical vibes abound in this luxe boathouse kitchen! The beautiful blue and white palette is a perfect mix to match the waves outside. Given the sloped ceilings, designer Anne Hepfer knew long pendants over the kitchen island would look awkward. Instead, she designed a pair of polished-nickel gooseneck task lights — a nod to outdoor dock lighting — and had them mounted on either end of the island.

Retailer Lysanne Pepin turned her quaint cottage in Quebec’s Eastern Townships into a chic hangout that’s as beautiful as her lifestyle boutique, Maison Pepin. “Everything in a kitchen needs to be used,” says Lysanne, who opted to display tools and spices on open box shelves, rather than in cupboards. “If it’s collecting dust it doesn’t need to be there.” She also maxed out the dimensions of the oak island. “The island is a hub of activity,” she says. “Whenever there’s a party, everyone’s there!”

When a couple with grown children confessed to Margot Bell and Dasha Ricci of Peaks & Rafters that they were ready to replace their family cottage with a design that emphasized light as well as the rugged surroundings, the designers, who specialize in cottage properties, immediately understood. The kitchen island incorporates a wood dining table for informal meals.

Cory DeFrancisco, principal designer and owner of Muskoka Living, wanted to be very true to old Muskoka style with this boathouse. “The whole boathouse, both inside and out, has that relaxed look and feel of sitting on a veranda,” says Cory. He used a bright white semi-gloss paint on the kitchenette cabinets. A marble-look countertop in Caesarstone’s Misty Carrera and antique French metal stools — customized for counter height — add a vintage look.

This family cabin on B.C.’s Pender Island picks up on the surrounding lush wilderness of a West Coast island by incorporating wooden accents and natural textures. The kitchen has all the mod trappings of a larger city home. A tall, slender fridge allowed for more counterspace, while neutral Silestone counters continue up the wall to create a seamless backsplash that doesn’t scream “kitchen” in the open-concept space. An oversized length of burlap softens the utilitarian kitchen table.

Family vacations in St. Barts inspired Toronto designer Montana Burnett to create a serene retreat closer to home. Designed in collaboration with her mother, artist Martha Solomon, their family cottage is bright and breezy, with a soothing palette inspired by natural materials. Shaker-style cabinet fronts are a simple and pared-back choice, ideal for fuss-free cottages. Warm wooden accents and trim add rustic polish that plays off the modern light fixtures nicely.

Kitchen design in a private home.

The kitchen in a private house usually has a good footage, where you can organize a comfortable working area. Unlike kitchens in apartments, it is not a place where guests gather or where the family spends most of their time, since a dining room and a living room are provided for these purposes in a private house. Therefore, the kitchen here has more utilitarian functions, while remaining part of the public space. nine0003

Private home kitchen design

Whether you are designing a home from scratch or buying a finished home, chances are the ground floor kitchen will be combined with the dining and living areas. Together they create a more formal look, represent the largest room in the house. Visually separate the kitchen from the rest of the room using:

Bar counter: yes or no? nine0127

In a photo of a kitchen in a private house, you can almost always see a bar counter or a kitchen island with a bar counter. Does she need? Many owners are not ready to set the table in the dining room for every meal, that's when a small countertop comes to the rescue, where you can drink coffee, have a snack or have a full dinner together or alone. During the day, the bar counter can serve as a desktop if you need to work a little on your laptop. Children can do their homework at the bar while mom cooks dinner. It turns out that this is a multifunctional thing, which is better to provide for in the layout of the kitchen, if there is free space. nine0003

Kitchen styles in a private house

We say a private house, we present - country . Wooden walls, ceiling beams, a wooden set and an apron made of aged tiles - this is exactly the kind of kitchen interior in a private house that is in the photo. But designers urge to abandon stereotypes and mix different styles. For example, to dilute the dark tones of a country-style setting, install not a traditional wooden, but a light or even white set. Give up tiles on the backsplash in favor of concise artificial stone. nine0003

Provence style is one of the most popular for decorating a kitchen in a country house. There are no strict rules in it: the main thing is natural materials, not a bright color palette, cute details. This is an excellent field for experimentation and designers actively use it: they combine different shades, add colored textiles, instead of lamps with a forged metal base, they hang crystal chandeliers or modern shades. nine0003

Loft-style and modern kitchens are increasingly seen in the interior of private houses. Today, the boundary between the style of apartments and houses is slowly blurring and styles "roam" from one space to another. Designers add metal details, experiment with facade decoration to fit the loft kitchen into the interior of a wooden house.

Eclectic is one of the most popular trends in the design of not only the kitchen, but also other rooms. Assumes a harmonious mixture of elements from different styles.
