Microwave location on island. Appliance garage. Accent wall. Another potential eyesore was the microwave, which the family doesn’t use very often. Horowitz tucked in a microwave drawer to keep it hidden. Above it is a deep appliance garage. Sometimes in an open plan like this, it’s hard to know where the paint should change colors. Here an existing jut-out provided the perfect stopping point for the blue accent wall.
I like my turquoises bright and bold, and tend to use them more as accent colors. Since blue and orange are complementary colors (opposite each other on the color wheel), blues contrast well with orangey wood tones. Use them together for a lively, dynamic vibe — the perfect palette for a home office.
smaller pantry:1. Custom pantry. More than any other storage solution, Houzzers dream of a perfectly organized walk-in pantry. More than 410,000 users have saved this photo to their ideabooks, thanks to its pullout baskets, pocket doors and abundant shelf space. “People love pantries because they house everything all in one place,” says storage designer Marie Newton, who designed this pantry. “You can see it all, so you don’t end up buying something you already have.”
MATERIAL AND COLOR COMBINATION! Open concept. Positioning the refrigerator at the entrance to the inner work area allows family members to access the fridge without interrupting the cook. Both the fridge and wall oven have a drop-off zone in immediate reach. Depending on the exact distance between the sink and the cooktop, there's a good chance that two people could work in this kitchen at the same time.
Have a cabinet and a window meet. This is an example of smart kitchen planning; the glass-front cabinets nestle into the narrow space between the window and the adjacent wall. Make sure you are leaving enough clearance for the cabinet door to open at least 90 degrees; factor in protruding knobs, moldings and windowsills.
