Organic materials, like the stone backsplash and wicker lampshades, predominate; but open steel shelving gives this kitchen a lightly industrial edge.

If the kitchen is on full view from the main living room, it’s important to keep a consistent aesthetic. Here, the feature light and artwork do just that.

A large-scale design like this kitchen can easily overwhelm a small room. But, as part of a grandly proportioned extended space, it fits in nicely.

family kitchens

Strong identity Everyone has a favorite style, but the most successful designs stay true to a particular look, right down to the last detail

There are multiple ways to fine-tune a preferred design for a new kitchen, but capturing images of other projects you love is good place to start. This was the approach taken by the owners of this extensively remodeled house, Bayne and Scott Belair. The couple presented designer Sean Daigle of Downsview Kitchens with a raft of images, and it was clear the new kitchen

in the family’s vacation home would feature natural, raw materials that would provide a connection to the beach, one block from the house. “We wanted it to be very organic and natural, but with a modern twist,” says Bayne Belair. “We wanted to create a spa-like feel, with a design that would be in keeping with the existing architecture.” Walls were removed to

replace a “hodge-podge of small rooms” with one large family living area that opens to the outdoors. To provide an appropriate backdrop, the existing wood ceiling, with its long, narrow skylights, was sandblasted and stained in a driftwood color that matches the wire-brushed oak floor. The kitchen was placed along one wall, with a large

island forming the center of operations. The wall immediately behind the island features embedded stone – the colors of the stone are echoed by the antiqued patina on the custom hood, and by matching shelving units with wood slats. The cabinetry is also defined by a strong sense of symmetry, but that is where the formality ends. Furniturestyle cabinets at either end

of the island, and two large armoire cabinets feature textural wire-brushed oak that evokes a windswept beach. “It’s a very comfortable, casual look well suited to a house by the beach,” says Daigle. “For a little fun, there are black slate inserts on the drawer fronts and countertops on the end units, which the family can write on. “The perimeter cabinets

feature a custom painted finish with stainless steel strapping around the doors and drawers, while the island has recessed panel doors.” To further enhance the idea of different furniture elements, the end units have gray limestone tops, with a custom ogee edge, rather than the chunky profile of the Carrara marble island top. Handles are also in two different styles.

Gathered together This family kitchen celebrates the eclectic tastes of its owners, with a variety of elements chosen for their iconic forms

When a kitchen is open to the living areas, the cabinetry and island are often made to look like furniture, to help blend the spaces together. But the design can go a step further, introducing elements chosen because the homeowners love each piece and want to enjoy them every day. For this kitchen in a traditional home, the owners asked designer Natalie Du Bois for a welcoming, quirky, industrial aesthetic with natural accents. The look was to be simple, with plenty of display space, says Du Bois. “This kitchen has more work areas than the original, due in part to the addition of a new

butler’s pantry, which is almost the same size as the kitchen itself. This ‘second kitchen’ offers lots of storage, a butler’s sink and dishwasher.” Most of the messier aspects of kitchen life, such as breakfast clutter, are relegated to this ancillary room, freeing up the main area for cooking and entertaining. “Another major advantage of such a large butler’s pantry is that both the owners and their two children can all use the kitchen at the same time without getting under each other’s feet. “Although most pieces here were chosen because the clients liked them individually,

Above left: This kitchen reinvented by Natalie Du Bois features a variety of elements in different styles from different eras. Above: Stained wood cabinetry offers warmth and a furniture-like sensibility, appropriate to a kitchen open to the living spaces of the home. Shelving on the front of the island furthers this impression, and provides a place for the owners to display objects and store cookbooks.

each element does connect with another,” says Du Bois. “For example, the concrete island counter, freestanding stainless steel refrigerator and perimeter countertops, along with the black tapware and black prep sink, all contribute to an industrial feel, while the butler’s sink in the pantry and subway tiles on the backsplash are more traditional in flavor. “The subtle palette of gray, black, white and metal further draws the kitchen together.” The designer’s choice of wood for the island and perimeter cabinets evokes a furniture-like aesthetic when viewed from the living area, and

also brings the desired warmth to the kitchen. “In addition, we painted the wooden floors white, which contrasts the darker elements, such as the cabinetry and appliances – this gives the entire kitchen a more dramatic presence.” The stepped backsplash and a shelf above provide ample space for displaying objects, as does shelving on the front of the island. “Another aspect of this kitchen is that it will resist becoming out of date,” says Du Bois. “This is because so many of the elements, modern or otherwise, are design classics, including the butler’s sink and black faucets.”

Facing page: A tight work triangle between refrigerator, oven and island makes for easy preparation and cooking – especially with most other functions farmed out to the pantry. Above left: With the same subway tile backsplash and similar stainless steel countertops, the butler’s pantry links with the kitchen in material terms.

CafĂŠ style With its pared-back concrete table top supported by a single stainless steel post, this casual dining area lends a relaxed cafĂŠ ambiance to the family kitchen

Lifestyle factors drive the design of most kitchens today, and they were especially significant for this home. Architect James LaRue says the house, on a country lot outside of Austin, epitomizes the hill country contemporary style. “This is a single-level home with lots of wood, stone and glass. It wraps around a private courtyard patio with a pool, which is overlooked by the kitchen and family living area.” In keeping with the laid-back nature of the architecture, the kitchen occupies

a prime position in the large, open-plan family living area. “Because this is such a large space, there was room to place the cooktop on a large island, which the owners requested,” says LaRue. “We were also able to create a café-style concrete table top with bar stools to provide a very social seating area that can be used as a breakfast bar. Or it can be a place for guests to perch with a drink while the owners work in the kitchen. “The concrete table is supported by stainless steel legs, with just a single post

reaching to the floor. This helps to keep the look light and ensures the island does not look too monolithic.” To maintain consistency with the material palette, the cabinets are in wood. Interior designer Paula Ables chose a pecan stain over a rustic gray stain, which provides a point of difference and allows the grain of the wood to show through. The color and the Shaker-Craftsman style of the doors and drawers both help to keep the look warm and inviting, despite the contemporary treatment.

Countertops in Mojave White granite ensure the kitchen is light and bright. “We also added a band of decorative stone mosaics to the limestone backsplash,” says Ables. “The soft gold, brown and white tones are repeated elsewhere in the house. “To enliven the flooring, we specified travertine tiles in Siena Blend and Giallo, – a mix of two different colors of stone, one light and one dark. We cut the tiles to different lengths and created a random pattern that is unique to this kitchen.”

Appliances are all in stainless steel. They include a large, custom range hood designed by the architect and interior designer. The size and shape of the hood were determined by the need to provide visual balance in the room. A butler’s pantry, between the internal entry and the kitchen, helps to reduce clutter in the kitchen. Other special features include a wood, glass and steel shelving unit designed by LaRue, which complements the exposed steel structural elements.

Preceding pages: This spacious kitchen is all the more inviting for its café-style table and bar stools in the center of the room. The cabinetry has a Shaker look, with wood doors featuring a pecan stain over a rustic gray stain.

From the hills to the sea Nature provided the inspiration for two new collections of natural quartz surfaces from Silestone. Nebula Code and Ocean bring the outdoors in Above: Hélix is one of the new natural quartz surfaces in the Nebula Code collection from Silestone. This surface balances an off-white base color with carefully constructed shades of gray veining. Made from natural quartz, one of the world’s hardest materials, Silestone is highly resistant to scratching, staining and scorching. Silestone comes with the assurance of Greenguard certification for clean air quality, and NSF certification for safe food preparation.

Time-honored materials are always a good choice for a kitchen, but sometimes the idea of something new and exciting is also appealing. Two new Silestone natural quartz surface collections from Cosentino offer the best of both worlds. Following extensive research and development, which included getting feedback from designers, fabricators and distributors at trade shows, the company has released the Nebula Code and Ocean collections. Nebula Code, an evolution of the popular Nebula series, utilizes Silestone’s advanced color technology to bring depth and sophistication

to kitchens and bathrooms. This range presents neutral hues that are subtle, yet distinctive, with an original pattern of brilliantly colored veining that never repeats. Nebula Code is available in polished and suede finishes in large 63in x 128in slabs, in three different thicknesses. Ocean is Silestone’s newest, most exotic color line, featuring six bold shades that have a natural appearance, similar to granite. This range provides an enhanced sense of movement and unique veining. The slabs, in three thicknesses, also measure 63in x 128in. All Silestone natural quartz products

are non porous and never need to be sealed. Silestone is also easy to clean, has high scratch, stain and heat resistance, and built-in antimicrobial protection. It comes with a 15-year limited manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warranty. For more information, contact Cosentino, 2245 Texas Drive, Suite 600, Sugar Land, Texas 77479, phone tollfree (800) 291 1311.

remodeled kitchens

All the better Removing walls, linking spaces and adding plenty of functionality can transform a kitchen, so it becomes the inviting heart of the home

Joining forces In this remodel, the sunroom opens to the kitchen, which opens to the living-dining area, creating one spacious, light-filled great room Not every home you purchase is a perfect fit for the family – but sometimes you just need to see the potential to know you are making the right decision. In this instance, it was a closed-in kitchen and a succession of separate living areas that needed changing, says interior designer Cheryl Hamilton-Gray CKD. “The existing kitchen was hemmed in on one side by an enclosed dining room linked to a sunroom, and on the other by a living room,” she says. “These were all separate rooms, so there was no natural

flow. An oversized skylight in the kitchen was also a problem. It allowed too much sunlight to enter, so the kitchen was frequently too bright and overheated.” Removing walls was a priority. This opened up the kitchen to the rooms on both sides, making the entire space light and airy. “Renovation projects can snowball, and that’s what happened here,” says the designer. “We decided to remove the ceiling over the kitchen, replacing it with a new ceiling that follows the gable of

search | save | share at my.trendsideas.com

the roofline. This created a much bigger volume and gave the space a lofty, architectural feel. We also replaced the single large skylight with two smaller ones, and introduced rustic beams that would be in keeping with the eclectic Arts and Crafts style of the house itself.” Two new structural columns that support one of the new openings were clad in distressed barn wood. And the cabinetry within the central island in the kitchen was also made from distressed barn wood to match the columns.

“Because the house was not strictly an Arts and Crafts or traditional style, we had the freedom to treat the kitchen as a new transitional space,” Hamilton-Gray says. “The reclaimed materials convey the sense of a relaxed family living area. At the same time, however, we kept the perimeter cabinets white, and added crown mouldings – we didn’t completely ignore the traditional elements already existing in the house.” The island countertop and bar were chosen to complement the distressed

Post-modern makeover Rustic cabinetry was banished in this kitchen remodel. It was replaced by a seamless, clean-lined design with a strong urban undercurrent

Compromises are often made when you buy a property, but accentuating the positive and changing the negative can give you the home you always wanted. The owners of this house loved the open, flowing layout of the interior, but they weren’t keen on the heavy, traditional Mediterranean-style cabinetry in the kitchen, says designer Krista Watterworth Alterman.

“The existing kitchen was also small, lacked the required functionality, and there was no sense of symmetry,” she says. “And even though large windows frame the room, it felt like a dark, cluttered space.” Alterman says her clients wanted a post-modern look, without sacrificing comfort. The kitchen needed to be fresh, vibrant and contemporary, and have plenty of storage.

Alterman’s solution was to utilize every inch of space to make the kitchen larger. A multifunctional island was introduced, providing a generous work space, casual dining area and a place for family and friends to gather and socialize. “We chose dark-stained sapele wood for the cabinetry, so the rest of the palette is light and airy,” says the designer. “The doors are sleek and clean

lined, as are the countertops. Those on the perimeter feature low-maintenance engineered stone, but for the island we chose a stained concrete top, which provides the urban undercurrent the owners desired.” Alterman says the main challenge was marrying the traditional elements of the home with the contemporary furniture and cabinetry.

“I love to wed rustic with minimalist. The bar stools, for example, have a traditional form, but with contemporary oversized chrome nail heads.” Storage has tripled with the new cabinets. Overhead doors pop up easily, and have automated interior lighting. Alterman also provided custom drawer inserts for the clients’ collections of cutlery, glassware and ceramics.

In the spotlight Designed to cater to Michelin-star chefs, this extensively remodeled kitchen also meets the needs of a growing family Above: Black bar stools and a dark walnut floor give the all-white cabinetry in this kitchen plenty of dramatic impact. Interior designer Jamie Herzlinger says the kitchen was designed to be an inviting living area, with much of the functionality hidden. Refrigerators, refrigerated drawers and dishwashers are all integrated into the cabinetry. However, the cooking station, on the front island, is the pièce de résistance – a place where visiting chefs can entertain guests.

Location is everything when you buy a house, but it can mean making compromises in other areas. For this house, in a picturesque setting on a golf course, it was the interior that needed serious attention. Interior designer Jamie Herzlinger says she was initially called in to tweak the furnishings, but the true scope of the project quickly became apparent, and it started with the kitchen. “The owners are in the food business, and frequently entertain using caterers and exhibitions chefs who may be flown in from anywhere in the world,” Herzlinger says. “There was no

way the existing kitchen could meet their needs. It was dark and dated, and it didn’t have the required functionality for the family or for entertaining. And like much of the house, it was an unattractive potato brown color.” The designer says the existing kitchen was gutted, and extra space gained by pushing it out towards a patio at the front of the house. “Because of its position, the patio was not used for outdoor living. This gave us another 10ft of space to use inside.” Herzlinger says it also meant the kitchen was very long, but relatively narrow. To expand

the apparent width, new walnut flooring planks were laid on the diagonal. New beams were introduced to the ceiling to help contain the kitchen visually within the overall space. However, the starting point for the design was the need for a chef’s station – a massive cooking island that is like a demonstration kitchen with bar stools for guests. “The kitchen also needed to accommodate a sous chef on occasions, so the second island with the sinks is perpendicular to the first,” says the designer. “The workstations are arranged so the chefs won’t collide while working. We also

put the bank of ovens to one side, so they can be used independently by a pastry chef. This was one of the most challenging aspects of the design – how to keep all the chef stations linked, yet separate.” At the same time, Herzlinger needed to cater to the family’s day-to-day living. So the second island incorporates a table at the far end, where the family can enjoy casual meals and snacks. The design also caters to daily rituals, such as coffee making, with a dedicated area for this activity. And there is a small home office area at the family end of the kitchen, with a

place to charge phones, tablets and laptops. Much of the visual drama comes from the design of the cabinets, which resemble refined furniture pieces. Traditional panel doors and diamond motifs on the ends of both islands complement the home’s classical architectural style. They also reflect the owners’ desire for a space that is less like a kitchen and more like a living area. “The kitchen needed to be very inviting, yet not too formal,” says Herzlinger. “Just like we are taught to layer clothing for added interest, so the kitchen design is layered to create plenty

of visual depth. Reflective elements, such as the glass display cabinets and pendant lights, also help to make the space more lively.” The designer says she suggested an all-white kitchen because “food always looks best against a white background.” The painted cabinets are teamed with Calacatta marble countertops with a traditional profile. Contrast is provided by the dark walnut floors and black bar stools.

Above left: Sparkling pendant lights reinforce the sense that the kitchen is an entertainment zone. At the same time, however, Herzlinger ensured the space would be just as comfortable for the family relaxing on their own. The cabinetry at the far end of the kitchen incorporates a desk, filing drawers and a television.

With an urban edge This remodeled kitchen in a city house is a modern composition that teams oak veneer and white lacquer with pops of yellow in overhead cabinets

Moving from the suburbs to the city involves a certain change of lifestyle, but it’s even more dramatic when you swap a 1920s Arts and Crafts-style home for a contemporary city house. But that’s exactly what the owners of this house did. Architect William Massey says his clients wanted to embrace their new city lifestyle, and had been looking for a modern, loft-style home. “The house they found was built in 2000, but although they loved the location and the outlook, the interior didn’t

provide a loft space. The living and dining rooms and kitchen were all separate spaces closed off from each other. However, there were pleasant views out large windows at the front and back, which we could maximize by completely opening up the space on the main living level.” Removing the walls between the rooms, and moving the mechanical services created the generous, uncluttered living environment the owners required. But Massey says it was still important to define the various areas within this space.

“We chose to position the kitchen in the middle, where it helps to separate the various seating and dining areas. But working out what form the kitchen would take was a challenge. We played with 3-D computer models, looking at the different massing possibilities for the kitchen, which needed to be highly functional as well as eye catching. “Initially, the design focused on three 9ft-square cabinet components – one each for storage, cooking and entertainment. We then decided we didn’t need all that

mass, so we carved pieces away, gradually carving off more and more, reducing the mass to the essentials.” Massey says the island was designed on a similar basis – hollowing out a large cube eroded the mass so that it was not too bulky. This created niches for cookbooks and storage. It also gave the island a sculptural look that’s in keeping with the overall aesthetic. To maintain the contemporary feel, a light oak veneer is teamed with crisp white lacquer. This combination avoids

the monotony of using a single material in such a pivotal space. For added visual drama, overhead cabinets and a high shelving unit are painted yellow. “The yellow adds a pop of color, but is not a distraction,” says the architect. “Using a 70% gloss avoids reflections but ensures it has a lively sheen.” Functionality is also assured, with extra storage provided in cabinetry on the opposite wall. This incorporates a coat closet, slide-out pantries and a home office area for laptops and phone charging.

Preceding pages: Cabinets in this new kitchen appear as 3-D insertions within a large, loft-style living space.

Architect William Massey says although the kitchen area is 27ft long, the work triangles are relatively tight, making it easy for the owners to prepare meals and clean up. Entertaining is also a breeze, thanks to the open-plan design.

Living for the city This kitchen remodel reflects a journey of discovery for the owner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the designer won her over to a more contemporary sensibility

It can be limiting to describe someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taste as traditional or contemporary. There are many shades of modern, for example. This understated, tailored kitchen, by designer Talla Skogmo, replaces an earlier brighter, ultra-contemporary remodel. The existing kitchen included vibrant orange cabinetry and jet black countertops, with translucent fronts on the upper cabinets to lighten the appearance. The kitchen had a single, smallish island and could be separated from the living area by full-height sliding plastic doors.

Skogmo says the apartment owner was set on stripping the space, limestone floors included, and starting from scratch. “Coming from a French Provincialstyle home, she had first asked for a traditional design, as this was what she felt comfortable with,” says the designer. “Instead, I suggested a refined, but contemporary kitchen, more appropriate to her new, busy city lifestyle. At the same time, I felt we should stay with the good bones of the original kitchen layout and keep the honed natural stone flooring.”

The owner placed her trust in Skogmo, who created a calming two-tone design in cream and dark-stained walnut. While the look is sleek and clean-lined, the upper wall cabinets do have a simple reveal detail. “This and the classic beveled subway tile backsplash close the gap between modern and traditional, acknowledging the original request,” says Skogmo. The new perimeter cabinets, including the integrated refrigerator, remained within the same footprint but the new central

Top and above right: The custom walnut display cabinet is balanced by a fireplace surround of the same proportion on the opposite side of the living spaces.

island is larger. A peninsula island was also introduced. This has a raised back that creates a visual buffer between the expansive living spaces and the kitchen – replacing the sliding doors. The inner island presents a wealth of storage options on its working side and accommodates four A Rudin counter stools on the other. With the ovens set off to one side, a low-profile cooktop, and the paneled refrigerator, the kitchen’s functionality is downplayed when viewed from the living spaces.

The building’s solid-slab construction meant there was no in-ceiling space for services. To overcome this, the designer added a square soffit ceiling that conceals wiring and helps delineate the space. The refrigerator cabinet to the right also serves to define the kitchen and separate it from the breakfast area, says Skogmo. “I designed a walnut display unit to stand in this space. This is matched by a fireplace surround in the same species and scale on the other side of the room. These pieces draw the large volume together.”

The tall cabinet includes wine-cooling drawers and mirror-backed display niches for the owner’s Lalique crystal collection. “Venetian plaster wall finishes and the LED canoe chandelier are other touches of refinement. The owner fell in love with this balanced, modern space. It is the ideal vantage point from which to enjoy views of the city skyscrapers,” Skogmo says. save | share Search 43615 at my.trendsideas.com

Finishing touches A simple faucet can make a strong design statement. It’s a concept Kraus has taken to heart Fashion trends come and go, but good design endures, whether it is traditional, transitional or contemporary. This also applies to every item you choose for your kitchen, from appliances to fixtures. Leading faucet and sink manufacturer Kraus maintains that while design trends do influence product development, the way to avoid gimmicks and fads is to provide fluid, enduring aesthetics matched by high quality and performance. Surveys show most homeowners still prefer to decorate in transitional style, but

the contemporary look is rapidly growing in popularity. Kraus offers high-quality fixtures that suit this look, with clean lines and a flawless finish. “We call it fashion plumbing – kitchen fixtures that make a strong design statement, but won’t become quickly dated.” Kraus has an extensive range of kitchen faucets in both brass and solid stainless steel. Because many designers and homeowners favor stainless steel appliances, Kraus provides several options to coordinate faucet finish to kitchen decor.

With countertops and cabinets creating the lion’s share of the impact in a kitchen, it’s worth taking your time and making material choices carefully. For example, just as a sparkling black cocktail dress instantly conjures up evening glamour, so will glossy black cabinetry. As the owners of this kitchen have four children and an energetic social life, they asked designer Jasmine McClelland to create a seamless blend of family functionality and entertainment chic. The kitchen successfully meets both these needs through careful space planning, the

choice of finishes, and attention to day-to-day functionality. “In a sense, this kitchen hides in plain sight,” says McClelland. “To downplay the functional aspects in visual terms, we created three main divisions and elements. The central, self-contained bar area, set into the wall, is ideally situated for parties. It is close to the island, which can act as a serving counter, and is only a couple of steps from the dining table. “The large island looks much like a piece of furniture or a sculpture, and the perimeter workspace that runs along in front of the

window resembles a deep window ledge. This countertop retreats into a passageway that leads to the laundry and the back door. Most of the storage and appliances are integrated into this area, out of sight of the open living spaces.” The kitchen’s dual roles are reflected in the materials. Warm caramel-colored True-Grain Veneer on the cabinet fronts contrasts with the sleek sheen of the black quartz on the island and bar area. The niche below the cantilevered countertop is in the same veneer as the perimeter cabinets, and the dark stone is complemented by black blinds and pendant light fittings.

This black and tan palette continues throughout the home, including the entry foyer behind a glass wall and in the cabinetry upstairs. The three sections of the kitchen connect with each other visually in other ways, too. “To create aesthetic balance, the custom range hood extends the length of the countertop beneath. Together with the suspended, cantilevered island bench, this creates a luminous and dynamic room,” says McClelland. And despite its size, the hood also plays something of a disappearing act. Its long, slender form does not call attention to itself,

and the reflective stainless steel picks up on its immediate surroundings. To address the functional requirements, practical elements, including storage and appliances, are set on or near the perimeter of the space. All cabinets feature Blum Servo-Drive hardware. The project won the Kitchen and Bathroom Designers Institute Large Kitchen of the Year Award for 2013.

Breakout zone Corporate entertaining is relaxed in this remodeled condominium, where a flexible design maximizes all the available space There’s a good reason why developers opt for neutral palettes – they don’t want to scare prospective purchasers with a bold design statement. This condominium in a restored turn-of-the-century loft building was a typical developer’s package, says interior designer Tom Stringer. “It was best described as a beige drywall box,” he says. “This did not suit my client, a

company with a strong design focus, who wanted a crisp, contemporary interior.” Stringer says the condo was to be used in a number of ways – as a guest apartment for visiting clients, a corporate retreat for meetings, and for entertaining purposes. “Design flexibility was essential. The remodel also had to be cost effective, without sacrificing good design.”

With this in mind, Stringer suggested contemporary Ikea cabinetry in a glossy gray. “Almost everything we do in our design company is bespoke, so this was a little offthe-wall for us,” he says. “But even though the client is very design driven, and has a collection of classic Mid-century furniture pieces, the kitchen itself was not about provenance. I admired the lines

of this Ikea cabinetry and the surface gloss was just right.” The designer teamed the cabinets with white quartz and recycled glass countertops, and smoky metallic mirror glass tiles on the backsplash, which have an iridescent quality. Polished stainless steel shelves reinforce the look. Stringer also introduced a much longer island, anchored at one end to a structural

column. The other end of the island forms a bar, where a bartender can serve drinks without interrupting the main work zone. “The client wanted to be able to screen off the kitchen, without completely hiding the activity, so we added a long, sheer drape that can be pulled across the front of the island. You can still see movement through the drape, but it

is muted – meal preparation is like a ballet in the kitchen.” Stringer says there had been a pool table in the condo when the client took ownership. This proved to be popular with clients and staff. “We chose to keep this option, by specifying a dining table that can be converted into a pool table. The legs have gas struts, so they can be raised and lowered easily.

“The table also functions as a conference table – videoconferencing equipment is stored in the long floating console below the television.” Despite the changes, the character of the building remains intact. The high ceilings and original windows were retained, as was the maple flooring. This was refinished, with a light gray tone replacing the yellowed varnish.

Freshly picked With sunlight pouring in and the garden right outside the window, this kitchen in a Georgian house is light, bright and cheery

Everyone gravitates to the kitchen, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precisely why it has become the relaxed social hub of the home. Invariably itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a room that opens to the outdoors, which adds to the sense of informality. The kitchen in this new Georgian-style house is such a gathering place for the family. It overlooks a pretty garden, which has influenced both the material and color palettes. But despite the informality of the setting, the owners wanted the kitchen to tie in visually with the more formal elements of the house, says architect Anne Adams of Stuart Silk Architects.

“Because this is a Georgian house, there is a formality that extends through all the rooms on the main floor. Ceiling heights and decorative mouldings are consistent from the entry hall into the living and dining rooms. So it made sense to continue this detailing in the kitchen, which can be seen from the dining room.” In keeping with this theme, the cabinetry features traditional white-painted panel doors with an inset detail, and an antique nickel finish on the hardware. The mouldings on the island mimic the detailing of the crown moulding, which helps to unify the space.

Wherever possible appliances are integrated, says Adams, who worked on the project with interior designer Kylee Shintaffer. “The largest appliance was also the biggest challenge,” the architect says. “The owner wanted a 60in range, but the subtlety of the interior design meant there was a risk it could dominate. To avoid this, we placed it behind the island where it is partially hidden, and added a custom shroud-style hood. “The hood is fabricated from steel, but has been treated so it has a patina resembling aged zinc or pewter. With its bands of steel, it looks

like a very old fixture that has been salvaged.” Two matching farmhouse sinks are another traditional touch – the sink on the island is used for food preparation, while the sink on the perimeter cabinetry is the clean-up area. There is also a large pantry that has another sink and plenty of counter space. This room, which can be glimpsed from the kitchen, features a reclaimed mahogany backsplash and countertop. “We have taken into account the fact that the owners love to entertain,” says Adams. “There is a side door that can be used by caterers, and the kitchen has been designed so it is easy for

more than one person to work at the same time.” Countertops feature Pietra Del Cardosa, which is durable sandstone that looks a little like bluestone. This provides a visual link to the bluestone paving on the terrace, which helps to bring the outdoors in. Other materials include white backsplash tiles with a raised relief pattern. Adams says much of the detailing in the kitchen is subtle, but it helps to connect the space with the surroundings. Varying tones of blue, green and soft lemon also help, by creating a strong visual link with the garden beyond.

Conversation piece Art moves into the kitchen with this contemporary remodel. The overhead cabinets feature a bold canvas painted by one of the owners – a professional artist

search | save | share at my.trendsideas.com

Many kitchen projects evolve over a period of a few months, while owners and designers research styles, materials and colors. This remodeling project was no exception, says kitchen designer Bill Dellinger of Cooper Pacific. “The house, on a golf course, was part of a high-end development – the owners bought it new about 20 years

ago, but had not had any input into its design, which was quite traditional,” Dellinger says. “We worked with the architect while the design concept evolved from traditional, through transitional to highly contemporary.” Dellinger says the kitchen was pushed out to gain a few extra feet, creating enough space for a bank of freestanding cabinets and a dining table.

Rift-cut white oak wraps right around the freestanding unit, reinforcing the sense of a box inserted into the space. The island and perimeter cabinets are also in white oak, with recessed pulls on all the doors except for the ones beside the dishwasher. “We provided vertical pulls for the tall cabinets to reinforce their sleek, uncluttered lines,” Dellinger says.

“We wanted the overhead cabinets to make a strong design statement, so these were wrapped in canvas, and one of the owners created a colorful artwork.” The modern aesthetic is further enhanced by stainless steel edges on two wood shelves above the cooktop, and by a recessed metal strip that creates a negative detail around the countertops.

Because the owners do a lot of cooking outdoors, they chose not to have a range hood.

Serene and spacious Taking design cues from the 1900s home, this family kitchen also offers modern accents and plenty of work space

search | save | share at my.trendsideas.com

In days gone by, kitchens were not intended to accommodate the entire family at once. Today, even the most traditional kitchen will offer one important, modern plus – plenty of room to move. This light-filled kitchen by designer Davinia Sutton replaces a cramped, dark work space that accommodated only one person at a time. In its place, the owners wanted a family-friendly kitchen that would have sightlines to the outdoors, and be in keeping with the home’s early 1900s architecture, says Sutton. “To create a space with character, outlooks

and a communal area for everyone to gravitate to, we designed the kitchen in an L shape,” she says. “The induction cooktop sits within a traditional hearth-style element, a focal point of the design. This steps out from the surrounding cabinets and has soft curves, picking up on the Art Nouveau detailing seen elsewhere in the home. These curves feature on all the upper cabinetry as well.” The mantel not only draws the eye, it also conceals the range hood. Most of the other appliances, apart from the wall ovens, are also integrated, to optimize the old-world feel.

Preceding pages and above: Open to French doors and views to the garden, this family kitchen by Davinia Sutton merges traditional detailing with modern convenience. Classic Shaker door panels, tongueand-groove finishes and a furniturestyle island all contribute to a sense of permanence. Most cabinetry drawers and the china display niche are in solid American oak. In contrast, the countertops are in contemporary engineered stone.

Another request from the owners was that the kitchen have a furniture-like appeal. To this end, there are column legs on the island, and the front and sides are in tongue-and-groove planks, as are the walls above the backsplashes. Hand-painted Shaker-style doors contribute to the overall effect, along with traditional chrome pulls for the cabinetry handles. The bespoke open china storage rack is another feature. It has a solid oak interior, and most linings and drawers are also constructed in solid wood – the owners wanted a kitchen that would last 20 years, says the designer.

“They did not want a farmhouse style, but asked for a traditional design with practical modern touches. These include the gleaming engineered stone countertops, the clean-lined glass pendants over the island, and the wall ovens, which are set to one side. “This kitchen can comfortably accommodate several people at once, with the island used for prepping, eating and homework, and the side counter designated for cleanup and cooking.” The cool, monochromatic color scheme is balanced by the warmth of the American white oak floors, which match the cabinet interiors.

Grace and charm This kitchen in a new home extends the aesthetic of its classic surroundings Above: This light-filled kitchen by Holly Erotas of Erotas Building Corporation, Jeff Murphy of Murphy and Co Design and Maureen Haggerty of Mint Interior Design connects with its surroundings in terms of both color scheme and detailing. The owners are avid chefs and the cabinetry offers a wealth of dedicated storage, including a cupboard earmarked for one owner’s collection of condiments and sauces.

A kitchen can connect to its surroundings in everything from door profiles to a color scheme. However, for a traditional interior it may be the almost intangible factors of poise and lightness that closely marry a design to its wider setting. Such was the case for this project by builder Holly Erotas, architect Jeff Murphy and interior designer Maureen Haggerty. Erotas says the kitchen was a priority for the owners and took precedence within the greater layout. “We became involved early on, before the house was designed. This meant I could plan for spacious, functional work triangles and a

search | save | share at my.trendsideas.com

balanced, airy feel, as well as create easy connections with the adjoining living spaces. The U-shaped kitchen is open to the great room and the dining room.” Several elements tie the kitchen back to the classic-look interiors. The ceiling-height wall cabinetry continues the crown mouldings seen in the great room and throughout the home. All cabinet doors have subtle panel mouldings and the surfaces have been lightly rubbed to further evoke an old-world charm. “We painted the perimeter cabinets white, an extension of the use of this color on most

millwork and ceilings through the home.” In contrast, the designers and owners opted for a near-black stain for the island cabinetry. This connects visually with the bank of cabinets on the wall opposite in the great room. Erotas says the high-contrast theme is a popular feature of traditional interiors. “The owners chose granite countertops, for durability, and they liked this dappled Alaska White, which picks up on both cabinet colors.” With the refrigerator and dishwasher fully integrated and an appliance garage keeping the countertops clutter-free, the stainless steel wall

ovens and substantial range top are the only contemporary items left on show. “The hood is a prominent feature within the design. We specified this custom element in a dark bronze-pewter finish that ties in with the stainless steel of the ovens and the green-gray hues of the Stingray subway tiles,” says Erotas. While the kitchen reflects a classic charm in almost every detail, the exuberance of the young owners is seen in some inclusions. “Maureen sourced the swirling Art Nouveau pendants for over the island and prep sink. The couple fell in love with these vibrant elements.”

Above: The range hood has a classic design and has a bronze/pewter faux finish, which connects to the stainless steel appliances and graygreen subway tile backsplash. The main farmhouse sink is positioned under the windows to benefit from natural light. Dark-stained oak floors run right through the home and anchor the predominantly white kitchen.

From a bygone era This new kitchen, in an historic 1890s Victorian house, is a fitting complement to the period, but there are no compromises when it comes to modern living

search | save | share at my.trendsideas.com

It is a common conundrum. How do you respect a style from times past, yet cater to modern living? Are the two even compatible? The answer to the latter is a resounding yes, and this project shows how both worlds can come together in harmony. Architect Gregory Thomas of CG&S Design-Build says the 1890s Victorian house is on the National Register of Historic

Places, but the existing kitchen did not complement the era of the house. Nor did it suit the needs of the clients. “The kitchen had been built some time in the 1970s,” he says. “It was poorly designed, lacked adequate storage, and was in a state of disrepair. However, the owners wanted to keep the basic floorplan, and they needed to retain space for a casual dining table.”

Thomas says the existing kitchen was gutted, apart from the Saltillo terra cotta tile floor, and numerous repairs undertaken to the structure, walls and windows. Plumbing was reorganized, the electrical system upgraded and new fiberglass insulation added to the walls and floor. The team could then turn their attention to the design detail of the kitchen.

These included reorganizing the air conditioning ducts. Story by Colleen Hawkes Photography by Tommy Kile

“The owners already had ’30s-style dining chairs, which helped to determine the look,” he says. “This was conceived as a pre-World War II design from the late ’30s, with modern updates. For example, we chose flush-inset, face-frame cabinets with flat-panel doors that reinforce the historic connection. The hardware on the lower cabinets is also evocative of the era.”

The cabinetry includes symmetrical display shelving that wraps around a backsplash above a large farmhouse sink. “The off-white subway tiles and Carrara marble counters contribute to the austere, yet clean period look,” says Thomas. Symmetry is also provided by two shallow tower cabinets either side of the window. The tower closest to the exterior

door functions as a children’s drop zone for school bags and sports gear, while the cabinetry on the other side of the window provides much-needed storage for dishes. “We also added a window seat, built of longleaf pine to match the table,” says the architect. “This can be used as additional seating for the dining table.” A key element retained in

the remodel was the original brick chimney that served a furnace. The exposed brickwork introduces a strong textural look, and complements the terra cotta tiled floor. Period lighting further enhances the authenticity. Rather than using inappropriate recessed lighting, Thomas specified different fixtures that look as though they were accrued over time. These

include pendant school-house fixtures that fit the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;30s aesthetic. Mounted sconces and an acorn pendant are more Neoclassical, as if from an earlier era, in keeping with Victorian ornamentation. Despite the period flavor, the kitchen has a cheerful vibe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thanks to the sky-blue walls. These enliven the room, ensuring it is a space where family and friends love to gather.

Question of balance With its large, handcrafted cabinets, long island and custom hood, this new kitchen is generously scaled to match the grand proportions of a remodeled Mediterranean-style home

Preceding pages and above: A traditional Mediterranean hearthstyle cooking center takes pride of place in this remodeled kitchen. Owner-designer Terri Miller says the large scale of the hood, mantel and range was required to balance the grand proportions of the room.

Even when you have plenty of space for a new kitchen, you need to be sure everything is in proportion. This large kitchen replaces a much smaller one that looked out of place tucked away at the end of a generous, open-plan family living area. Interior designer and owner Terri Miller says the original kitchen was not only too small, but was also very

dated, with intrusive white appliances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were good things to capitalize on, however, such as the Mediterranean influence that is evident throughout the house. The ceilings are wonderfully high, with vaulted elements, the doorways are arched and there are substantial concrete columns between the kitchen and the formal dining room. But even these

features needed redecorating to better suit the character of the house.â&#x20AC;? Miller extended the size of the kitchen cabinets and added a long island that runs parallel to the windows. The new handcrafted wood cabinetry is much more substantial and taller than the original. In keeping with the look of the house, it has a distressed paint finish with a handpainted

custom glaze. Key appliances are integrated into the cabinets, including a refrigerator and freezer in matching units either side of a glazed door leading to a patio. The cabinets are teamed with Copper Legnio granite countertops, while the island bar top is a solid, single piece of walnut. This wood also appears as an accent on display cabinetry opposite.

A chandelier and cove lighting within the vaulted element enhance the glittery ambiance.

“The walnut helps to warm the kitchen visually,” says Miller. “For the same reason, the custom hood above the large range has a warm patina. This comes from eight coats of wax over Venetian plaster. Miller says the large size of the hood is a response to the scale of the space. “Because it is so big, we needed something substantial to hold up that end of the

The mantel and corbels were specially crafted to complement the cast stone that appears throughout the house.” Miller introduced a bar cabinet, which has two refrigerator drawers for drinks, an icemaker and a wine captain. Glassware is displayed behind leaded glass doors in the mirror-backed cabinets above.

The vaulted ceilings were recoated with a rust-brown Venetian plaster, and one also features gold stenciling. The vaulted elements are illuminated, which amplifies the warm rusty tones. The columns were soda blasted to remove the original “prison gray” and now have a decorative faux paint finish that is an appropriate backdrop to the formal dining area.
