Cream color milk paint clads the upper cabinets while the lower ones showcase dark brown sandblasted rift oak. Aged bronze vintage style hardware adds a stroke of nostalgia.

Warm brick red on Pender Island

Innovative Modern Design

Warm.Elegant.Inviting. Brick red with white and glass upper cabinets. Here's what our customer has to say about their new kitchen: "Santi and Patricia recently completed our kitchen make-over. The cupboards look fabulous. Well made, terrific attention to detail. Both were very helpful in design and colour advice which was all part of the package. We didn't have to worry about anything and our marriage remained intact. We would recommend IMDesign without hesitation, great product, great people." (Crossley/McKeating, Pender Island, BC)

The efficient concentration of functions in the center of the kitchen rendered vast available space, expanding circulation all around the island and its surrounds.

Tile and stone work as components of a vibrant palette. Brilliant handmade teal tiles and white grout make for a crisp backsplash. White terrazzo with embedded blue glass expands over countertops.

This diverse color palette required a careful allocation of hues within the space. Against cream color walls, an assortment of teals and blues reign at counter height. Above and below the “teal-blue line”, strokes of red on cornices and window seat animate the space with Navajo patterns.

Radial log beams impose a strong graphic effect on the space. Convex and concave walls push in and away from the space; everything conveys movement. Like waves in a tide, the center island, and window seat harmoniously follow the flow.

The materials across the space were selected to enhance and contrast the characteristic features of the home. The saltillo tiles and log beams have gained a warmth compared to the cool blues and bright whites added to the new design.

Find thousands of kitchen with Recycled Glass Countertops ideas to help you come up with the perfect design for your space.

How do I determine my kitchen layout?

If you're starting a kitchen renovation, now is a great time to create exactly what you want. When it comes to layout, always optimize your space; focus on functionality and how your design can cater to the needs of you and your family. For tight spaces, a galley layout is a great kitchen remodeling option. Since horizontal space is limited, think vertical; stack counters and shelves high up on the walls, and try to find innovative storage containers and double-duty pieces. For larger layouts, try an L-shaped or U-shaped design with a big center island or peninsula. These shapes provide plenty of cabinet and countertop space, and you can add a bar-height counter to the island for an instant eat-in space. Reviewing kitchen with Recycled Glass Countertops pictures and photos is a great way to get a feel for different kitchen layouts and help you decide what you want. Another essential kitchen remodel essential to consider is the work triangle, which is a 70-year-old concept that is still highly utilized within the design world today. A simple idea that can save both time and energy, the work triangle connects the three main work areas: the sink, the stove and the refrigerator. As a general guideline, the distance between these areas should be no less than 4 feet and no larger than 9 feet. The sum of all three sides of the triangle should be between 13 feet and 26 feet. Given how highly effective this utilitarian design is, definitely take it into account when considering kitchen designs.

How can I add more kitchen storage?

Kitchen designs can be a complex undertaking given the sheer amount of items that the room usually contains. In order to store and organize all your cookware, bakeware and small appliances, you need cabinets, drawers and shelves to spare. To maximize your space, you can include cabinets in your island, purchase spice racks, install hanging pot racks, insert pullout storage and invest in a cart. You want to achieve clutter-free countertops, so also consider spaces you may never have before, such as corners or under the sink. You can also free up some space by storing infrequently used items outside of actual kitchens, like in storage rooms or basements.
