New Kitchen Ideas

23 days ago

We need to gut the kitchen & laundry room in the new place we purchased.
I do not want a kitchen that looks like everybody else else’s kitchen
And I’m not into super modern.
The pantry will be built in the first part of the laundry room so I’m more apt to have fun with color in there.
It seems it’s all kitchens are wood or white and wood. Oak is so popular, I don’t want a trendy kitchen. I love walnut, I love Hickory.
The only inspiration I have in the house is the floors which are a medium tone wood with a slightly yellow undertone, so I won’t be carrying the wood into the kitchen.
And the living room has oak beams in it.
Just looking for ideas and inspiration. All ideas and photos are welcome!
Thank you.

    Hickory RTA cabinets.




    Walnut...but not stained dark...would blend with your light wood floors...the flooring here can handle lots of traffic and water. This would be the look I'd be going for....

    Pictures would be a great help.

    It sounds like you are focused on aesthetics, not function. Is that your #1 priority?

    Pictures of the spaces would be very helpful. Without them, we are just guessing what would/would not fit your space.

    Hi I added the floor plan. No pics bc it’s all coming out.
    Function matters appliances selected.
    It’s a large space to full and a dark space.
    Thank you!

    I don't see a fully-measured layout. Are you having trouble adding it?

    All I see is the general floor plan of the first floor, which satisfies the sketch request, but not a fully-measured layout. See the Featured Answer in the "New to Kitchens? Read Me First!" thread. The sample layout below is also the Read Me thread. But, see the thread for more information/details regarding what we need to help you:

    Maybe this will help. I took it from the Read Me thread mentioned above:

    Please post a fully-measured layout of the space under consideration and a sketch of the entire floor. Both can be either hand-drawn, computer generated, or drawn up with computer/app tools.



    By "fully-measured", we mean a layout with the widths of each wall/window/door/doorway and the distances between each wall/window/door/doorway labeled. See a sample below. If something cannot be moved or changed, label it precisely on your layout (see post in sample) and tell us why it cannot be moved/changed -- we may have some ideas for you.

    The sketch of the entire floor lets us see how the Kitchen relates to the rest of the home. It doesn't have to be to-scale, but it should accurately show how the rooms relate to each other and should include all interior & exterior doors. In addition, it will help us see how traffic flows in, around, and through the Kitchen. Label the front entry and family entry. The family entry is usually a garage or side entry, but it might not be. It's helpful to know which door you use to bring in groceries.

    Regardless of how you draw it up (by hand, computer, etc.), please be sure all measurements are labeled. (Note: Computer generated layouts often lack key measurements and, sometimes, measure to/from things like the middle of a wall or the middle of a window. Neither are useful. Measure each item and the distances between each item.)

    Other questions...

    • Tell us about you and your family and how you plan to use your Kitchen. All-adults? Empty Nesters? Children (now or in the future)?
    • What appliances (& their sizes) do you plan to have?
    • Where are you flexible? Can walls/windows/doors/doorways change (move, change size, add, delete)?
    • Do you have a basement under the Kitchen or are you on a slab?



    (The sample is posted above in my previous post.)
