New Age Contemporary Kitchens

HD Staff — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 16:39:37 +0000

Check out this collection from Cuisines Morel. The old rule book is thrown clean out of the window when it comes to finish, color and creativity, seeing jaw dropping combinations of rustic, knotty cabinets against a graffiti backdrop, or bright sky blue gloss sandwiched right inside rich wood and white glass. Team all this with flashy extractor units that could easily be mistaken for contemporary works of art, just as at home in a sculpture gallery, and you’re on to a winner.

Modern chrome and nickel hardware sing against muted wood grain, and impressive pieces of industrial lighting create an air of trendy loft living.

A rustic stone wall provides a stunning, contrasting pattern against the solid color slab cabinets.

A pale sink blends with the worktop, allowing the shiny modern faucet to take center stage, whilst vintage posters and prints create an eclectic look, and compliment the subtle streams of sophisticated color, appearing vibrant against mint green and warm grey.

Designer chairs and chic barstools keep the look polished and expensive, whilst book collections are carefully displayed to add a homely element to the vast, high ceiling spaces.

Modern Kitchens From Elmar Cucine

HD Staff — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 18:54:38 +0000

We were browsing through Italian kitchen maker Elmar Cucine‘s catalog the other day and liked what we saw. The forms they use are simple with bold lines and sharp edges giving their designs somewhat of a masculine touch. This emphasis on simplicity is no accident and is expressed quite clearly in their philosophy:

Elmar is not simply content to manufacture products, it wants to manufacture simple products. Simplicity is harmony, the happy balance between form and function that has its fulcrum, its deep meaning, in the human being.

Some great images…

Kitchens From Alno

HD Staff — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 10:08:59 +0000

German kitchen brand Alno first previewed the Marecucina concept in 2010 which explored a boat-like form for the kitchen counter. This unique shape created quite an international stir in 2010 and Alno ended up winning several prestigious awards for it. Still popular, the Marecucina concept is displayed prominently in the company’s 2012 ebook. Check out the video and images.

Modern Japanese Kitchens

HD Staff — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 17:14:36 +0000

There’s something to be said about these Japanese kitchens – they are sleek, modern, captivating, and makes quite the dynamic statement. You cannot pin them to a particular mood or tone – they can be warm and cozy or cool and clean. But one popular idea most Japanese kitchens seem to subscribe to is to bring people together, to create a space that can be lived in – a space that incorporates cooking, eating, and relaxing all together. Essentially, a place one would enjoy spending a lot of time in with friends and family – laughing, sharing stories and recipes with, and enjoying the company of each other in a comfortable and inviting room. The designs from ToyoKitchen show all aspects of traditional design though in quite modern settings. Their designs include warm tones with wood flooring and cabinetry and also cooler tones with stainless steel countertops and appliances. One consistent theme you will notice is straight lines – from the cabinetry and flooring to the lighting and seating areas you will see a continuity of simple lines. It is the clean lines and minimalist approach that makes Japanese kitchen design stand out and keeps families cooking, eating, and loving every moment they spend in their beautifully designed rooms.

Open, Modern Kitchens with Few Pops of Color

HD Staff — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 19:14:50 +0000

The open kitchen has been a modern design staple for some time now. The pros of such an open and airy space, are many. They allow people to freely flow in and out of the adjoining rooms, and are usually closely located near a dining room or breakfast nook, which encourages togetherness, closeness and an all-around more social, and more interactive environment. These open kitchen designs are all designed by Italian designer, Armando Ferriani . All of the kitchens featured here are modern, open, and mostly white, except for the few pops of color in each and every one.

This kitchen is simply an island and cabinetry, mostly composed of white steel, but with touches of pretty purples and blues in the decor and kitchen utensils.

This kitchen is the least open out of them all, but it does lead into the breakfast nook

This design is perhaps my favorite out of the bunch, because I feel it melds the traditional, antique, rustic elements with the modern ones. The white cabinetry is reminiscent of a country farm, as is the dark wood flooring, yet the planks in the ceiling help to streamline the room and the simple furniture offers the modern vibe.

Ferriani likes to play subtley with color. Here, the kitchen is a simple grey and white that trails off into a yellow and white living area.

The cabinetry here is interesting, jumping from white to grey to blue.

This kitchen is very attached, or is just an extension of the living area space.

This funky kitchen employs mostly white in its cabinetry, but offers pops of unexpected mustard yellow and eggshell blue here and there.

This beige and white kitchen is very open and connected to the rooms adjoining it. It only seems to be separated by the deep blue (a nice color choice) large cupboard area.

This brown and white kitchen is nicely understated. Instead of additional shelves or cabinetry, the design is further simplified by attaching a single rack that lines the wall above the sink, and open “storage” space underneath part of the counter area.

Nordic Kitchen Design Inspiration

HD Staff — Tue, 24 May 2011 14:47:33 +0000

Consider these kitchens by Norema, a Norwegian designer and manufacturer of kitchen cabinetry. Any theme comes magically. Rustic designs appear fresh and inviting, especially when accentuated with abundant cabinet space. Retro designs like mid-century Modernism are clean and efficient. Traditional contemporary designs using this modular cabinetry seems timeless. That’s part of what gives this designer charm; the cabinetry allows the kitchen’s theme to take center stage without losing itself in the mix, becoming almost like a character of its own in the space. Nordic kitchen company Norema designs these with an excellent sense of engineering. Therefore the cabinetry proves effective in split-level floor designs or full-fledged multi-area kitchens such as those with a breakfast nook and island. They afford abundant storage yet refrain from being excessively space consuming. And they all blend well with the rest of the home.

Personalized Kitchens from Logoscoop

HD Staff — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 18:37:59 +0000

There are so many companies now that specialise in kitchen design. The difference with Logoscoop lies in the fact that they don’t restrict themselves with what is popular rather they respond to each design brief individually and try to reflect the end user’s personality in the design. They pay attention to the lifestyle and habits of the each client, allowing for a higher level of detail.

The kitchens in themselves are functional and modern. Each one is an unusual ‘one-of-a-kind’ creation. Logosscoop original approach to the design of the kitchens allows the end result to be distinctive while still being serviceable. Splashes of colour, creative storage solutions and how the kitchen flows from the rest of the house are integral elements which have been carefully considered by the designers resulting in some very interesting solutions as is apparent from these examples.

Kitchen Inspiration

HD Staff — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 16:14:32 +0000

Today we feature the work of Meedo, a Poland based design studio that specializes in architectural visualization. They have an impressive portfolio and we thought the kitchens were especially well put together. While most of these renderings wouldn’t pass for photorealism, some of them feature solutions for spaces that are ‘life-like’ (read short-on-area). They also show off open living concepts and there are even one or two images that portray one room living.

If you are on the look out for kitchens of a specific color we recommend you check out our color-specific features on kitchens:

brown kitchens
red kitchens
orange kitchens
yellow kitchens
green kitchens
blue kitchens
Purple Kitchens
black & white kitchens
all white kitchens

Purple Kitchens

HD Staff — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 18:10:37 +0000

If you have been a long term follower of this site, you will know that at times we do color specific posts. It is like we pick out a particular color and post pictures of spaces that give importance to this color. Today we specifically focus on purple kitchens, and we must say that the visual impact of this range of hues really works in the modern kitchen! Since purple signifies deep passion, royalty, spirit, and people who like purple are often individuals who are creative and generous. Needless to say, these kitchens are definitely mysteriously inviting, sexy, and the color all too trendy this season, but perfect for hosting fabulous interactive dinner parties. Let’s just hope tie-dye doesn’t come back into style any time soon…

Coffee, Tea, and Sugar Jar Galore!

HD Staff — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 13:20:47 +0000

Doesn’t it seem like home canning jars have been around to preserve things (anything!) since the beginning of time? Well they have really only been around since the mid 1800′s, but with every passing century we are still finding ways to reinvent the jar with new styles, forms and designs. Below are some really beautiful jars we found that should compliment any possible style of home decor! However, what hasn’t changed is the stuff that goes into these jars so the labels continue to read the same, and it looks like sugar, coffee, tea, and flour will always take precedence for a royal production of caffeine and baked goods! So take a look at some sweet stylish ways people are packing jars in their kitchens…

This is a sweet contemporary collection of ceramic jars with wooden lids. We wouldn’t recommend you shake these…

A classic retro approach to jarring ingredients, and gray goes with anything!

These cool techie designs are modern alright, and so fun with their color coordinated lids.

Now this is an interesting design and goes with country rustic decor for sure!

Looks like the designer of this collection didn’t want to leave a single product behind, well except for the “I” which contains…ice? (If you’re not very organized this set is not for you…(Check the freezer!))

The original old fashioned glass jars with hinged lids and boldly contemporary labels. We approve!

These cuties are made of porcelain and have labels on their eyeballs for Sugar, Tea, and Coffee! (via)

So they’ve found a new way to market comic strips! Who couldn’t use a good laugh in the morning?

Back to the old school with these beautifully scripted vintage style jars.
