Ok so just the other day I received a lovely advertising package for a new condo high rise with the most horrible flattened hexagon shaped island- for a cool 3million plus. I died. Maybe is just a show kitchen. I cannot bear to even post the plan because so much of it is beautiful- but the flat hex island is no bueno. I know sometimes it is necessary to cut a corner here and there and we have done it too- but is a top thing to avoid when you can do so- and always with a light hand. Think curvier than chamfered when possible and remember just how many laps you will do around an island like this and your hip bones will thank you too!
Just today heard a few people commenting on this and was a bit surprised that so many thought this was an ok idea. That is ok- but there is no good reason I can see to do this at least in the typical manner of a straight run going higher to just vary it for no real reason. Sure mid level cabinets full height can be cool and done well by good designers but the idea below is a big NO in my book. This came about from big box retailers trying to easily make their non custom cabinetry look custom. They are not fooling anyone.
Oh lordy this one I see a lot and is an absolute no way in hell. Going above the hood with NO kill point is bad news. Tile transitions are a huge issue for us in any application and is one of the easy things to overlook for a diy-er or a novice designer. Heck it took me many years to hone these skills but just recently in Destin, we had cabinets taken out and redone because the plan was not followed and the tile ran short of the edge of the countertop. This is serious business for my team.
Ventilation is key to removing toxins and grease from your kitchen. It is not healthy to have a non ventilated kitchen. Period. Unless your idea of cooking is calling for take out! The best ventilation is an updraft with an internal, inline or remote blower. Be careful on the coast as remote blowers can have a lot of rust quickly and if that flapper gets stuck and your home is cold and the air outside is hot- well, lets just say you may think you have a faucet running from your hood! Condensation can be a big deal. Been there done that!
This is a huge element of design in my opinion and am again shocked at how many beautiful kitchens are ruined by a lack of communication between designer ( or contractor/homeowner if no designer) and the various trades who execute a kitchen- and their must be communication or the project is doomed from the start. Often the contractor is too busy to pay attention to these sorts of problems and they can ruin a beautiful project. These examples below are from just typical remodels showing tile transitions and terminations gone very very wrong- but even on a budget, there is no reason why these mistakes must be made!
Microwave drawers are great- they pull out. We have done many times. But putting a microwave with a door hinging is not wise under a countertop- if no else to place- call me. I can help reconfigure the kitchen to make it work. It just is too much bending to lift out or even look inside-and not ergonomic at all. I can see doing this in an ADA kitchen if dedicated to that person. But that is it. And before anyone says oh but you are not worried about bending with dishwashers- there are also dish drawers for those who have a need to limit bending- one on each side of sink right under counter will work great!
What else is a serious NO WAY to you? I want to hear what you have learned! This old dog can always learn new tricks! I have a few more but some are more design aesthetic than an absolute. Now on to bathrooms!
The last image (#3) shows the under counter microwave drawer installed flush with the cabinets. On each side of the microwave will be a pull-out waste on one side and a pull-out recycle on the other. You can see this by looking at the door handle that is centered and horizontal on the door. I have added as many pullouts as allowed by design and all drawers along the top line up throughout.

In the boundless expanse of technological innovation, I recently embarked on a captivating journey, a rendezvous with the future of kitchen design. I dared to challenge the boundaries of possibility, tasking Leonardo AI with a groundbreaking prompt: craft a robotic machine, a visionary marvel capable of autonomously preparing food. I held my breath, curious to witness the digital artist's interpretation of this futuristic culinary assistant.
And oh, did Leonardo deliver! Its ingenuity and prowess astounded me as it sketched out this visionary machine, transforming my mere words into a tangible, conceptual reality. Picture this: a robotic wonder equipped with the finesse to prepare meals automatically, a testament to futuristic functionality and automation, meticulously designed within the realm of imagination.
This encounter left me awe-inspired, reigniting my belief in the sheer potential of AI. It's more than just innovation; it's a catalyst for a seismic shift in how we perceive, interact, and shape our living spaces, especially our kitchens.
Imagine a world where kitchens cease to be mere cooking spaces; they become choreographers orchestrating a symphony of technology and culinary artistry. It's the dawn of a new era, where AI isn't just a tool but a visionary architect, redesigning our interactions with these spaces.
This experience has fueled my passion for exploring the uncharted territories of futuristic design. Together, with the infinite possibilities AI unlocks, we're poised to redefine the very fabric of our existence, one imaginative prompt at a time. Join me on this odyssey as we journey deeper into the boundless frontiers of tomorrow's kitchen spaces. Let's dare to dream and reshape our futures, empowered by the extraordinary capabilities of technology and the limitless realms of imagination.
I am creating a new kitchen for my tiny family house and have prepared a 3D prototype. The design includes several modules. Rhino 8 has been great for quickly rendering the views, allowing me to present the prototype to the contractor.
Cherry picking your favorite details from professionally-designed kitchens will not make your kitchen design better and can end up falling flat. Magazine-worthy kitchen designs cannot be easily copied. Let me explain why.
When I opened up my House Beautiful issue this month and saw this kitchen I gasped! So I looked it up online and ended up keeping that tab open for days because I just kept admiring all the beautiful details that made this kitchen so pretty!
This combination, two-toned black and wood kitchen is definitely a hot trend! And it makes sense because an all-black kitchen can get dark and heavy fast. The espresso brown kitchen from the brown trend, after all, is not that far behind us, so this is a good way to do a richer look with wood and make it look fresh and now.
The blue greys of the cabinetry, marble and island all relate seamlessly, there are no rogue grey undertones here. And the coolness of them is perfectly balanced by the drama of the black and the warmth of the natural wood tones.
With the wrong balance of elements, this two toned cabinet style could easily look jarring, too linear, stark, and even busy. Without just the right amount of white and pale grey, it could get heavy and stuffy fast.
All those linear details rely on the beauty and balance of the careful and symmetrical layout of the cabinetry and windows. With a less optimally balanced layout, the linear contrasting bands everywhere would only draw attention to less than perfect bones.
Gorgeous layout and symmetry are working for the kitchen shown above too. Look at those incredible windows! They make the perfect focal point, bookended by the contrasting black and white display cabinets. The black door frames repeat the pattern of the windows and create a connection with the heavier black hood fan cover and the dark pantry cabinets on the other side.
Ever notice how a true professional makes what she does seem effortless? The athletes and performers that seem completely at ease, the ones we are not clenching our teeth for as we watch, but instead getting caught up in the aesthetic thrill of it all? Magazines, Instagram and Pinterest are the stage for design pros. And they make it look so deceptively easy. 152ee80cbc
