A Classic Kitchen

A.Clore Interiors

Our client wanted a functional kitchen with plenty of counter and storage space. We created this design in the same footprint of the existing kitchen, but switched up some of elements. Adding a double oven, vent hood and pantry storage we were able to maximize the use of space.

DIYers Sink a Winner With Remodeled IKEA Kitchen

INSPIRED KITCHEN DESIGN

Specifically, Aly says it was critical to have adequate storage space in her small IKEA kitchen. “We were limited for storage space due to window placements and the overall layout of our house,” she says. “So my design wishes were to get rid of our previous upper cabinetry and the cabinets over the peninsula. I also wanted a microwave that was not over the stovetop/range area.” To address this, Aly changed out a tall cabinet next to the refrigerator that had made the original space closed off. While there is storage space above the refrigerator, this also opened up counter space between the refrigerator and corner sink area. The base cabinetry flows onto the opposite side of the kitchen with ample storage space inside the peninsula island. The panel dishwasher on the opposite side of the range also blends seamlessly with the look of the IKEA cabinetry. The wide peninsula provides a lot of countertop space as well for meals and includes seating for up to three people. Meanwhile, the open shelving provides a decorative touch while providing space to hold bowls and pitchers, for example. To accommodate her microwave request, they moved it to the pantry area of the kitchen, she notes. The look is completed by pendant lighting over the island and recessed can lighting throughout, as well as the previously mentioned natural lighting. Aly offers advice when remodeling and installing an IKEA kitchen on your own. “Advice I would give to future IKEA kitchen remodelers is to get a solid and well thought out design idea first,” she says. “Also as you begin to install, don’t be afraid to change some elements if you think they aren’t how you wanted.” “That’s how we installed our project and we absolutely love our IKEA kitchen!” she concludes.

This week our Friday Feature is a lovely home in Arlington, VA where we recently completed a full renovation of the kitchen and dining room area, and refinished the hardwood floors on the main living level. Construction: We began by removing most of the walls on the main floor, one of these walls being a major load bearing wall. In order to complete this task, we installed a 15 ft long triple LVL beam in the attic, and hung the joists from the new beam. We also needed to widen the entry into the kitchen. This wall, also being a load carrying segment, also needed to be restructured carefully. With the exception of one wall containing duct work, we were able to eliminate all walls, and open up this room entirely to the living and dining area. Finished Products: There are a couple of unique features in this kitchen- the first being the subway backsplash tile. Notice anything missing? Underneath the wall cabinetry, we installed special outlet receptacles, allowing the backsplash tile to be uninterrupted by outlets, creating a very sleek look. We also incorporated another special outlet in this kitchen. Opposite to the large pantry cabinet with roll-out trays, is an outlet containing two USB ports, for convenient charging of electronics. The cabinetry in this kitchen is from Bertch; notice the stainless steel finish in the two wall cabinets adjacent to the sink. With frosted glass inserts, these cabinets add a unique flair to the kitchen, and play a part in bringing the appliances together with the rest of the kitchen. Also, a pull out spice rack integrated into the cabinetry next to the sink allows the cook to have all the spices convenient but hidden away. The amount of workspace is almost endless in this kitchen. The white silestone countertops offer a unique look and contrast with the dark countertops. The egg-shaped island creates a place to eat, craft, and socialize for endless hours. Originally tile, the new hardwood flooring in this kitchen was pieced into the existing floor throughout the main level of the home. We re-sanded and re-stained the entire floor, to included the stairs to the main entry, a dark modern ebony color, getting away from the traditional honey colored flooring and finishing off the sleek look of this Arlington home.

Modern Kitchen Ideas

No room is quite as multifunctional as the kitchen. The hub of the home, this space has evolved from a strictly utilitarian unit into a versatile room to prepare food, entertain guests and share meals. If you’re looking to do a kitchen remodel, keep in mind that a successful modern kitchen design needs to blend functionality with personal prerequisites. Find thousands of minimalist kitchen ideas to help you come up with the perfect modern 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 minimalist kitchen 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.
