10. Mixing modern and traditional styles. Speaking of not wanting to choose, many homeowners and renovators are deciding not to choose only modern or only traditional cabinets. Instead they’re using a mix of both to create spaces that are rich with inviting character while looking current and interesting.
This idea is a great one to consider for people who want to give cabinets a little update but not a complete overhaul. You can swap out a few drawers or doors and leave the remaining ones as is to get a unique mix. Alternately, if you have wood cabinets and want to freshen up the look without completely removing the wood, consider having some of the door or drawer fronts painted while leaving some wood elements remaining, to get the best of both worlds.
9. Two-tone cabinets. Throughout this article you can find many examples of two-tone cabinets, which feature upper and lower cabinets in different colors. Here’s a twist that takes the idea to another level: using two-tone doors on individual cabinets. For example, this breezy kitchen uses a single row of wood drawer fronts on otherwise white cabinets to get just a little touch of natural interest and a fun personality.
. Gray. Is gray the new white? It’s hard to say for sure, but for those who like a light and airy look but are tired of white, a sumptuous gray or gray-beige is the next best thing. At first thought, you might expect gray to seem cold and off-putting. However, as you can see in these examples, a wide range of tones, from charcoal to clay to just-off-white, make an excellent complement to wood floors or shelves for a welcoming palette that feels anything but chilly.
6. High gloss in dark tones. Metal isn’t the only finish that can bring a glossy sheen to a kitchen. Lacquered or lacquer-look cabinets are a powerful option, and many suppliers at every level now offer high-sheen cabinets. In a murky tone like a charcoal gray, the deep, mirror-like appearance becomes all the more noticeable
5. Metallics. For those homeowners who love the crisp, industrial appeal of steel, why stop at the appliances? Consider bringing that “chef’s kitchen” vibe to your entire set of cabinets. Stainless steel door and drawer fronts give a cool, ready-to-work look to your cabinets, for serious home chefs or just fans of industrial-style kitchens. REMARQUER COULEUR MUR SUPÉRIEUR
Metal mesh inserts are a great middle ground, giving a slight peek at what’s inside the cabinet but without putting your stored goods on full display. I’ve used mesh inserts instead of glass on many recent projects. It works beautifully in both traditional homes and contemporary designs with some transitional flair, bringing a slight sense of old-world charm. Consider using mesh inserts on the “upper-upper” cabinets in a tall space on a full pantry wall …
The Starter Kitchen Efficient but thorough should be your thoughts when putting together a starter kitchen. This example has a simple 30-inch-wide range and a built-in microwave oven strategically placed next to the fridge. The U-shape provides an efficient work triangle but allows enough space for a couple of cooks to work together.
Cooking surfaces. While a New York City apartment dweller may be able to get by with a tiny 12-inch-wide two-burner cooktop, big families will need at least 36-inch-wide ranges or cooktops, and some may go as wide as 60 inches. Microwaves. These ovens can be found in 24-inch widths for minimalists, while some units are built into double-oven arrangements that need 30 inches in width. Cookware, bakeware and small appliances. Small abodes need at least 24 inches in width of wall and base cabinets, while big families begin with at least 60 inches in width. Serving pieces, tableware and table linens. Minimalists need at least a 12-inch width in base cabinets, while a big household needs at least 36 inches in width.
Spice storage, pots and pans, and cooking utensils placed immediately around cooking equipment ensure convenient and intuitive access to the tools and staples you need in meal preparation. Personal preference determines whether you want to place these items in upper shelves or cabinets, as in the previous photo, or in drawers and pullout cabinets that are below eye level, as shown here. Either can work, so decide what is best for you and conforms to your design aesthetic.
Sink, dishwasher and cleaning supplies. Minimalists can find sinks as small as 12 inches in width and dishwashers at 18 inches in width. Big families may require two 24-inch-wide dishwashers and a 36-inch sink. Dishes, glasses and flatware. The smallest kitchen needs at least 18 inches in width of wall and base cabinets, while gourmet cooks and large families should begin with 42 inches in width of upper and lower cabinets. Cutlery, cutting boards and small appliances. Minimalists begin with 12 inches in width of wall and base cabinets, while big families should begin with 42 inches. Trash and recycling. Depending on how you recycle, compost and dispose, begin with 12 inches in width of base cabinets and go up to 36 inches in width for a big household.
Most people store drinking glasses in wall cabinets near the sink and dishwasher, which works well, but drawers designed to hold glassware offer another solution and can make access more convenient. In any case, maintain a location convenient to the sink and dishwasher for your glassware and everyday dishes.
This table offers a rough starting point for planning storage around the refrigerator. Mix and match ideas to adapt it to your lifestyle. Pantry and dry food storage. Allow at least 16 cubic feet for storing dry groceries. Pantry pullout cabinets begin at about 24 cubic feet, while dedicated closet pantries begin at about 72 cubic feet (a space that’s 3 feet square by 8 feet tall). Initial food prep equipment and tools. Start with wall and base cabinets of at least 24 inches in width. Bigger families and collectors need to begin with at least 42 inches in width. Refrigeration. The smallest fridge starts at about 10 cubic feet of food storage space. Top-of-the-line units start at about 25 cubic feet of refrigerated food storage space. Small appliances, occasional vases, bowls and trays. Minimalists begin with 12 inches in width of wall and base cabinets, while big families may want to start with 36 inches.
In a Niche Stealing a slim storage space from where it otherwise would be wasted can be a great way to store small kitchen essentials. If you check in with a good contractor during construction, you may be able to find some empty wall-cavity spaces to turn into smart storage niches. This sort of niche can have dors, open shelving...depending on style
For a more traditional look, a relatively small bit of construction can convert a typical doored closet into a niche for a pantry cabinet — either a custom-sized unit or a few prefab cabinets with slim filler panels on the ends to give a seamless look. Consider giving this pantry cabinet its own finish (like the beautiful soft blue-gray pictured here) to act as an accent. This is also a clever way to avoid having to match a newly added pantry to existing cabinets.
Morte storage In a Standalone Cabinet Rather than adding a full set of cabinets to a wall, consider using a single cabinet (either a built-in or a standalone unit safely anchored to the wall) to create a pantry without filling in a whole wall. This can create a beautiful accent in the room, contrasting other cabinets a bit and becoming a focal point rather than just a functional piece of storage. Plus, if you use a sturdy cabinet, it can later be moved to a new home more easily than a true built-in. Just be sure to anchor it carefully LES LOCKERS À PAPA......
Mire storage At One End of a Galley Kitchen Whether you have a wide kitchen with a bit of space to spare or a compact kitchen with nowhere else for the pantry to go, using a tall cabinet at one end of the kitchen can be a beautiful solution. This sort of layout creates an appealing symmetry with a tall cabinet at the other end for a fridge or other appliances.
13. Hidden range hoods. A statement range hood can make an ideal focal point in a kitchen. But in more compact spaces, the last thing you may want is another bulky appliance. Instead, consider hiding a hood behind some elegant cabinetry, as was done in this Australian kitchen. Coupled with under-cabinet outlets, the hidden appliance allows the small amount of backsplash to appear large, streamlined and elegant TRENDS 2018
Massive Islands A large island, one that even extends beyond the lines of the cabinetry and into an adjacent space, gives you plenty of room to prep and cook, but also to pull up a stool and dine in comfort. Consider skipping the eat-in dining table in a nearby nook, and instead extend your island for a more multifunctional design approach Miroirs murs supérieurs Puit de lumière Plafond en bois

Installing a Waterfall Not on an Island Waterfall countertops are most frequently used on islands, but not always. Here are some other options. 1. End of a cabinet run. A waterfall edge is an effective way to punctuate the end of a cabinet run. This orange quartz countertop coordinates with the pendant and kitchen chairs to add a pop of color to this white kitchen
3. Table. Extending the waterfall countertop about 4 feet past the cabinetry creates a table at the end of this island. Transparent seats are visually light and keep the focus on the counter’s waterfall shape
10. Oversized: When You Don’t Want to See the Pattern at All If your tile pattern looks like one solid surface, is it even a tile pattern at all? The look of endless slabs of beautiful stone is highly coveted, but you don’t have to have a big budget to get that seamless look. By using the largest tiles that make sense with your budget (24 by 36 inches is a good size to start pricing) laid tightly together with a thin, color-matched grout, you can create the illusion of a solid swath of stone. In many tile collections, there is little to no change in the price per square foot for different-sized tiles (up to a point), so this look may be more budget-friendly than you think

In general, adding more angles to a pattern will make it feel more lively, which adds a sense of energy and fun. This pattern looks intricate, but it’s really created with one hexagon that has a corner colored differently to form a white triangle and blue pentagon, which is then laid in a repeating pattern to create the swirling shapes. If you want a dose of “wake-me-up” energy like this, look for an “odd” pattern with three- and five-sided shapes

Function Basics So what are the basic rules a cabinet designer needs to understand? The truth is, this is where a good designer really earns his or her money, because there are far too many rules to list here, but the main one is that the functionality of the entire cabinet package should not be compromised. As an example, here are just a few of the guidelines designers follow for kitchen cabinets: • Base cabinet depth of 24 inches • Base cabinet height of 36 inches • 18 inches of space between base top and upper cabinets • 12 inches minimum depth for upper cabinets • Consider the work triangle path between the sink, cooktop and refrigerator, not to exceed 26 feet total But here’s the catch: When it comes to rules (and this isn’t even the tip of the iceberg on them), each can be broken to a greatly improved effect. The point is, a good designer knows all the basic rules and also understands where they can be adjusted to benefit your functionality and design. A good designer understands how rules can be bent to accommodate various styles while maintaining basic functionality. After all, if cabinets don’t function, the homeowner will surely be unhappy with the design in the long te...
9. Double cutlery. For years I specified a single-layer cutlery holder for my clients. Now, I include a two-tiered insert to double their amount of cutlery storage
8. Lack of trays. Not everyone needs an abundance of tray storage. For those clients, I will add a partition to the cabinet and adjustable shelves to the other side
6. Oils and sauces. Kitchens are all about function. I always try to put at least one pullout for frequently used oils and sauces next to the range. Although some worry that the heat from the range may turn the oils, most ranges have great insulation. That, coupled with the thickness of the cabinet’s sides, means sauces and oils rarely spoil
7. Shelf above tray storage. Some clients don’t need tall tray storage because their trays aren’t that wide or they store them on their sides, as shown here. If this is the case for you, consider adding a shelf above the trays for extra storage
5. Pantry with rollouts. For pantry cabinets wider than 15 inches, I prefer rollouts. That means you’re pulling out only the shelf you need, not the whole pantry. Also, consider the projection of the hardware of any cabinet next to the wall. Make the filler (a matching strip of wood that fills the gap between the cabinet and wall) at least 1½ inches wide to keep the hardware from hitting the wall and possibly restricting the usability of a cabinet with a rollout
4. Pantry pullouts. Pullout cabinets should be only 9, 12 or 15 inches wide, in my opinion. Why? By virtue of the pullout’s design, every time you need a can of soup, you experience the full weight of everything that’s stored there. A wider pantry pullout is simply too heavy
2. Tall cabinets. In addition to increasing the depth of the refrigerator panel, also increase the depth of your tall cabinets as shown here. Consistency is the key to good design, therefore all counters should have the same reveal, or edge configuration

12. Kick-space drawer. Just when you think you’ve used up all possible storage space in your kitchen, there’s a good 4 to 5 inches below your base cabinets that can store baking sheets, platters, cutting boards or just plain old junk.
Carmel Builders SaveEmail 6. Broom closet. I don’t know why, but the space that houses the cleaning supplies (often a poorly lit closet) always tends to get a little messy. Try to keep things in order by incorporating a pullout especially for them. Traditional Kitchen by Laurysen Kitchens Ltd. Laurysen Kitchens Ltd. SaveEmail 7. Ironing board pullout. If you’re tempted to let a few wrinkles on your clothes slide because dragging your ironing board out of the closet and setting it up is too much of a chore, this pullout may be the key to a freshly pressed lifestyle. Kitchen by Michael Fullen Design Group Michael Fullen Design Group SaveEmail 8. Appliance pullout. Keeping your counters free and clear looks tidy and leaves more space for cooking prep and entertaining. An appliance pullout provides easy access to everyday items like toasters or coffee machines, which can slide out in a snap and just as easily be hidden away when not in use.

10. Split it up. This character-filled kitchen works hard to maximize the available space. Incorporating a spot for a microwave into a kitchen design is essential these days. A microwave takes up a lot of valuable real estate, so it’s generally preferable to build it into its own compartment where it doesn’t interrupt counter space and workflow. This tall pantry is split into three sections. The top and lower sections cater to dried food storage, while the open section in the center creates the ideal space for a microwave and cookbooks. A second space-saving design feature of this pantry is its sliding doors. The pantry is in a corner right next to the main entrance door to the kitchen. Hinged doors would block the doorway when opened, whereas sliding doors keep the walkway free at all times.
Fenêtre qui s'ouvre 8. Move outside. When space in the kitchen is tight and already packed with essentials, it is sometimes necessary to look further afield for additional storage. These cabinets in a small outdoor kitchen area are a clever way to create additional storage space as well as a place to house a barbecue and outdoor sink. Use these cabinets to store everything you need for the barbecue, such as utensils, large serving platters, outdoor tableware and cleaning supplies. This frees up valuable storage space in the kitchen and makes barbecues more pleasurable.
7. Utilize a bulkhead. This kitchen takes the concept of using every available inch of space to a whole new level. A bulkhead is often essential above kitchen cabinets to conceal unsightly beams, air conditioner ducting, range hood ducting or plumbing pipes from upstairs. Sometimes it can be possible to steal back some of that space and use it as additional storage. Here, open shelves have been incorporated into the bulkhead area. Not only do they create additional storage space, but they also add an interesting design feature to the kitchen. The inclusion of a library ladder can be dangerous when young children are about, however. It isn’t essential, though, particularly if you have space to store a step stool or small ladder close to the area
