This
dramatic contemporary kitchen design provides gorgeous long expanses of
stainless steel countertops for working on or simply admiring. Notice
how the cabinet hardware mimics the refrigerator door pulls.
Under-cabinet lighting makes the ceramic tile backsplash glow.
The
glossy black floor tiles anchor and help to define the kitchen area in
this ultra-contemporary design. The space is full of funky finishes and
textures from the smooth countertops, ceramic tile back wall and sleek
rangehood to the warm dark wood of the lower cabinets and the added
warmth of the golden wall color.
The
natural light pours into this very contemporary kitchen. White, a color
often associated with contemporary design, is used throughout the space
creating a very light and airy atmosphere. Two layers of horizontal
upper cabinets and large, deep drawers provide an abundance of storage.
The orange-red color pops against the white shell.
Storage
will never be an issue with the large cabinets in this modern kitchen.
The island provides even more storage and workspace along with a
table-type extension for an eating area. An interesting feature of this
design is that the toe-kick has been eliminated from some of the wall
cabinets giving them a floating feeling.
This
is a cutting edge kitchen design. The space is practically void of
color with the exception of some fresh fruit in a stainless steel bowl
and a small assortment of cooking accessories.

unusual light fixture over the table and the shelf/light fixture above

energy. The darkness of the flooring and lower cabinets is offset by the
light wall color and the large window.
Kitchen Island Design Ideas
The
layout of this traditional-style kitchen perfectly accomodates a center
kitchen island. And this particular kitchen island offers some
wonderful storage and display ideas for wine bottles as well as a
beautiful, large granite countertop for extra work space.
This
over-sized kitchen island is center stage and rightfully so. Wood
cabinetry with gorgeous architectural details and smooth granite
countertops match the other cabinets in the kitchen. The corners of the
island are carved out to allow access to the central cooktop area and an
offset prep sink increases the island's funtionality. Highlighting the
island is a dramatic chandelier.
Seating
for four, pendant lighting, a prep sink, and an enormous marble
countertop - this kitchen island has it all. The rounded design on the
dining side is a brilliant idea allowing for conversation between
individuals sitting at the island.
It's
all horizontal lines and shiny stainless steel for this modern kitchen.
The kitchen island is no exception with its straight edges and smooth
surfaces. The charcoal grey finish on the island relates well to the
white cabinets and walls of the kitchen, as well as the frosted glass
panels covering the built-in shelves.
This
black kitchen island trimmed in stainless steel really stands out in
contrast to the backdrop of white and pale blue. It is a strong element
in an otherwise airy space. The top of the island is lit by a unique
hanging fixture that mimics the island's rectangular shape.
A
kitchen island with traditional french appeal. It provides open storage
for displaying baskets and bins. The warm wood butcher block top serves
as an additional work space, serving area and spot for casual dining.
A
contemporary kitchen island for a contemporary kitchen. In keeping with
that modern aesthetic, this island is covered in highly reflective
material both on the sides and the countertop. The sleek design blends
in with the clean lines of the rest of the kitchen.
A
centralized cooking area with medieval styling. The main purpose of
this island is cooking with a little storage provided by way of an
overhead shelf for holding extra pots and pans and hanging cooking
utensils.
Small Kitchen Designs
This
modern contemporary small kitchen design goes far beyond the bounds of a
traditional small kitchen. Beginning with the color scheme, this
decidedly minimal, yet entirely functional small kitchen space is very
'bold' and clean. Notice how the bright work areas create a largeness
along with the use of a glass bar top that doubles as an eating area.
The
earthen color tones in this kitchen gently contrast and lift out the
black countertop and refrigerator. Double stacked kitchen cabinets help
to create a more versatile storage space, while the glass cabinet doors
add to the spaciousness of the lighter colored wood cabinet doors. The
high ceiling also helps to alleviate the small kitchen effect.
Wow.
This very contemporary small kitchen design is harsh industrial and
sanitary, yet comforted by the softer colors of the walls and kitchen
island door panels. Kitchen cabinet space is maximized without losing
the minimalist effect of the design.
In
this more traditional leaning contemporary small kitchen design the
liberal use of red adds a dramatic effect that is enhanced by the
'space-age' materials. A far cry from our caveman days, no? The small
kitchen table and tandem chairs, along with bar stools as secondary
seating helps to conserve space. Open concept glass cabinet doors,
utensil hangers, nick-nack shelving storage and bright lighting help to
create a larger than small space in this kitchen design.
White,
white, white!!! White surfaces create 'perceived' space in a small
kitchen. Actually, any of the brighter shades of color produces a larger
perception of space, so using it as a primary color with darker accents
best helps to add comfort to your most frequented area.
Well,
when available space is limited, ADD to it! This kitchen has been
extended out over a cantilevered bay window area that helps to allow
natural light in, as well as provide a scenic view while doing kitchenly
chores. Notice the liberal use of WHITE. Clean, big, and elps to
illuminate darker areas. A set of hanging kitchen cabinets over the near
counter top would be the best functional use of that space.
No,
this is not a chocolate mint doll house small kitchen design! The use
of smaller kitchen appliances and kitchen sink along with extensive use
of wall space for kitchen cabinets helps to greatly increase the
functionality of this small kitchen design. Notice the curved glass
cabinet doors? Or the nifty built-in rack above the oven cook/counter
top?
This
and the next two photos are all of the same small kitchen, from
different angles to show all of its attributes. In this picture you'll
notice the very large kitchen light fixture that lends a futuristic feel
to this small condominium kitchen design, and helps to enhance
perceived size. Cabinet space is maximized without losing the open
concept feeling - achieved by having one wall partially opened.

money and open up the kitchen by using bulky floating shelves for dish
