This is exactly what the photos section of Houzz is for. You should start an Ideabook collecting favorite kitchen designs and see if a pattern emerges in what style you are attracted to. Then, when you have specific questions, you can pose them in the Design Dilemma section. As it stands, your question may be a bit too open ended for useful responses.

here are a few kitchens we've done - let us know what strikes you and we can give you some more ideas.

Have you chosen the flooring material yet ? this might help to direct certain design colors.
