BEST LOOKING KITCHENS DESIGN IDEAS

type='html'>If you want to have a home with maximum resale value, having a great looking kitchen will go a long way. Have you ever noticed that when you go into a new model home they all seem to have the best looking kitchens you have ever seen?

Great kitchen design does not only apply to big kitchens. Even if you have a smaller kitchen you need one that is designed with a good layout where you can effectively use it. Kitchen counters and sink along with the stovetop should all be arranged so that you can prepare meals with ease. In other words, you don't want the stovetop to be on the other side of the kitchen from the sink where you would have to carry boiling water for a long distance.

Refrigerators are so big that there is usually only one optimal place for them but you might want to make sure your refrigerator is located near the sink. In fact, everything that has anything to do with food preparation should be as near the sink as possible. This is a quality of all the best looking kitchens. This is because of all the liquid and waste that will need to be disposed of. Something like the pantry closet is something that does not need to be in proximity to the sink.

Some kitchens are very open and almost part of the dining room. If you have a long extending dining table, you need to have a dining room that is big enough for it. If your kitchen opens to that dining room, you should take all these design elements into consideration. Sometimes you need to think about the kitchen's surrounding area to help figure out what kitchen design might be best.

Other things which should go into your kitchen design ideas are lighting and cabinets. Kitchen lighting ideas are varied now with things such as track lighting and hanging lights gaining popularity. Kitchen lighting will play a very big part of the look of your kitchen and the funtionality of it as well. A poorly lit kichen will not only look dark and dreary but it will also be hard to cook in as well. Great kitchen lighting adds to the safety of your kitchen as well as its design.

Kitchen cabinets come in all colours and materials and they round out the look of all best looking kitchens. Kitchens are defined by their cabinets and much thought should be put into the type of cabinets you get. If your kitchen cabinets colour is off, the whole look of the kitchen will be off as well. The cabinets in your kitchen must go well with both the kitchen floors and countertops.

Window Backed Kitchen Cabinets

Labels:

Family Rooms

KITCHENS

When I saw Nicole and Andrew Sheehan's kitchen in this month's Traditional Home magazine (photographer: Werner Straube), I was immediately in LOVE with the window backed kitchen cabinets. (The photo in the actual magazine is more of a close up of the cabinets so you can see how amazing they really are.)

Unfortunately, if I did this in my kitchen it would only offer a view into the garage, the mudroom or the foyer, so it's not an option for me. What are your thoughts on the idea? Would it work for you?

You can see the rest of their home on the Traditional Home website.

Pick and choose your battles. This can be a very costly change. Plan…Plan…Plan and be sure the kitchen remodel takes care of all the bothersome idiosyncrasies. The remodel should make food preparation and kitchen cleanup a positive experience. Making meals in your new kitchen is now a pleasure instead of a chore.

Williams Sonoma at Home

I was leafing through the March 2008 issue of House Beautiful when I saw a photo of chairs on a stair landing that reminded me of the new Williams-Sonoma Home store in New York. When I looked closer, one of the names of the designers, David DeMattei, sounded familiar. Then I realized that he is the group president for Williams-Sonoma and I actually met him at the opening party last fall. The home has a Williams-Sonoma feeling but is not a literal translation of the store. I'm swamped with work so for more information, you can check out the details at House Beautiful online. Bon Weekend!
