Kitchen - contemporary kitchen idea in Louisville

Example of a transitional carpeted bedroom design in Austin with gray walls

Making a compact kitchen luxurious and beautiful may seem implausible, but it's not at all uncommon for New Yorkers who refuse to think small. As this sparkling penthouse kitchen proves, it's the result of some clever ideas and careful planning. To create the illusion of space and light, the architects designed the kitchen like a vintage jewelry box and let the idea radiate throughout the room. Almost everything inside the kitchen is reflective, creating a breathtaking effect. A decorative chandelier provides a sophisticated focal point the room. Light from the chandelier and accent fixtures grazes across double-barrel vaulted ceilings, custom moldings and curved wall cabinets with silver-leaf detailing. A Monogram® stainless-metallic induction cooktop and mirrored backsplash pick up the light and amplify it so that you can see a full spectrum of colors. Light also dances across marble floor tiles, accentuating its polish and texture. Monogram custom appliances figure prominently into the optical fantasy. A 30" fully integrated refrigerator and wine reserve and two 18" dishwashers blend into the background of the kitchen, integrating perfectly with the overall design scheme.

All-white kitchens have always been popular, and this classic eat-in kitchen makes it abundantly clear why. Large windows above the sink and around the banquette area take full advantage of the exterior view. Forgoing formal in favor of luxuriously casual, the charming banquette is set into a corner, where family members can take in the beauty of outdoor landscaping over scones and coffee. A pair of pull-up chairs adds seating flexibility, making it possible for up to eight people to gather comfortably. In the center of the eat-in kitchen, highly polished granite covers the massive island, which provides ample space for food prep and cooking. A Monogram® 36" electric cooktop has a sleek and simple look that fits right in with the easy elegance of the kitchen. Above the cooktop, a glass canopy hood adds a striking architectural highlight.

  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   Our clients and their three teenage kids had outgrown the footprint of their existing home and felt they needed some space to spread out. They came in with a couple of sets of drawings from different architects that were not quite what they were looking for, so we set out to really listen and try to provide a design that would meet their objectives given what the space could offer. We started by agreeing that a bump out was the best way to go and then decided on the size and the floor plan locations of the mudroom, powder room and butler pantry which were all part of the project. We also planned for an eat-in banquette that is neatly tucked into the corner and surrounded by windows providing a lovely spot for daily meals. The kitchen itself is L-shaped with the refrigerator and range along one wall, and the new sink along the exterior wall with a large window overlooking the backyard. A large island, with seating for five, houses a prep sink and microwave. A new opening space between the kitchen and dining room includes a butler pantry/bar in one section and a large kitchen pantry in the other. Through the door to the left of the main sink is access to the new mudroom and powder room and existing attached garage. White inset cabinets, quartzite countertops, subway tile and nickel accents provide a traditional feel. The gray island is a needed contrast to the dark wood flooring. Last but not least, professional appliances provide the tools of the trade needed to make this one hardworking kitchen.
