White Modern Kitchen Island Design


Kitchen Island Design is a popular kitchen ideas with special design, it's like an island, the table is separated with the main kitchen, a kitchen island usually designed and combined with dining room. This time, I will share you a series of white modern kitchen island design. I hope you will enjoy this. This amazing kitchen island is designed by Fifth Element Homes published on Houzz.com.this kitchen is an excellent look at utilizing a slightly smaller space in creating a totally functional yet distinctly classy kitchen set up. The elegance of the white finishing selected for this kitchen set up definitely suits the overall simplicity of the kitchen design.

The kitchen itself contains everything an aspiring cook may want and need in a simple home kitchen. Equipped with a gas hob, ventilation hood, double volume side-by-side refrigerator, oven and microwave, you could pretty much whip up a storm in this kitchen while the ventilation hood ensures that most of the smells created from cooking are swept into and away through the ventilation hood that sits snugly above the gas hob. Finished in brushed silver, all the appliances blend pretty well with the gloss white finish of the kitchen.

Full-height pull-out cabinets on the back wall and storage under both sides of the island provide enough storage while maintaining the kitchen's clean and minimal look. The walnut island blends beautifully with the rich flooring, and a white quartz countertop on the island offers a durable work surface.

Since the kitchen is so often the hub of these events, the client wanted to make sure this main level had an open floor plan that wouldn't divide the space up awkwardly. The kitchen is situated with a dining room and a sitting area directly to the side — a perfect way to control overflow while dinner is cooking, and allow guests to wander around without feeling separated from the action.

The back splash was handmade in a seamless custom concrete, which eliminates any grout lines. It was given a unique wave-like pattern and texture for visual interest. The texture is very subtle, which also makes it easy to clean.

Kitchen Designs and Decororations Tips


When decorating your kitchen remember to have enough storage, plan your kitchen around the fridge, bench and stove being in a triangle and pick a colour to suit the style of room.

There are a few things you should consider when decorating your kitchen. As well as planning a stylish and pleasant looking kitchen to suit your tastes you also want something that is functional. If you are building a new home you might want to choose your major appliances first, such as your Bosch dishwasher, and build your kitchen to comfortably fit. Once your have finished decorating your kitchen don't forget to check that any improvements are included in your contents insurance.

Storage
Every kitchen needs plenty of storage space. You want to be able to put all your smaller appliances, such as the mixer, the toaster and slow cooker away. If you don't have space for them they end up sitting on the bench and give your kitchen a cluttered look. Have big deep drawers where you can store your pots and pans, have a specific cupboard or drawer for your plastic containers, which always seem to take up a lot of space, and create bigger shelves or drawers that will hold your small appliances.

The working triangle
For your kitchen to function as a proper working space you should have three main parts of your kitchen joined up by an invisible triangle. That is you can easy walk from the fridge, to the stove and to the bench in a triangle shape. Having this working triangle shape within your kitchen means that you will save time when cooking, that is you are not walking from one end to the other constantly, and cooking will be much easier. 

Quality appliances
When choosing appliances make sure you go for quality brands. If it is a matter of a few hundred dollars you are better to save that bit longer and get the better quality product or the one that you really want. Having a good quality fridge and dishwasher are important, as well as the oven that you really want. 

Style
When decorating your kitchen you will most likely choose a style to match the rest of your house. If you have a period home then you will want to have a more old fashioned kitchen. You can buy old fashioned tap ware and sinks, such as the Butler sink or the Farm House style sink. There are great modern kitchen designs which are simple and uncluttered. There are plenty of magazines available where you can gain inspiration in choosing the right style of kitchen to suit your home. 

Light
Make sure your kitchen is as light as possible both during the day and in the evening. If the kitchen windows are small you might want to consider renovating and putting in bigger windows to let in more natural light. If this isn't feasible you could always put in a sky light. Having spot lights over your bench is a good idea so that you can see properly when you are cooking. 

Colours
Kitchens look great in most colours. For something bright and cheerful yellow looks great. White or cream are flexible shades that give you the option to change the colour in your kitchen just by changing the colour of your accessories or brightening the room with flowers. For a modern kitchen you might want to try a vibrant red or dramatic black paint. In an old fashioned or country style kitchen any shade of blue or green looks great or more neutral tones.

Contemporary Kitchen Lighting Ideas Project by Mal Corboy:

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Kitchen lighting can adding a special value of the kitchen, here are the project of blue lighting contemporary kitchen by Mal Corboy: Here is the description of the project:

The client purchased this penthouse apartment off the plans and has been three years in the making.

The award winning Architect for the apartment project had designed this contemporary complex with very modern simple lines. There is a high degree of glass and natural stone on the exterior. He had sourced European Imported Kitchens for all of the apartments, however my client found that the company could not meet the height he wanted in the cabinetry of 2.4 meters’. A client that I have worked with in the past recommended they commission myself to assist them achieve their perfect Kitchen.

As my clients has been involved with the Professional Motor Sport Industry for a number of years, they wanted a very masculine looking space. To achieve this we eventually chose the Stat Vein Marble and Stainless Steel, which provided an overall strong mono chromatic look to the Kitchen. Bench tops were made 150mm high of Stainless Steel with the Stat Marble inserted into the work surface. I continued the use of the Stainless Steel on the draws, doors and end panel fronts. My clients were particularly fond of Gaggenau appliances and wanted these, to not only match their overall look, but also used extensively within their Kitchen. This required sourcing and importing the Gaggenau fridge/freezer from England as at that time the integrated option wasn’t available in our country. A streamline chromed handle was used on all the cabinetry which were imported from Germany, this gave the Kitchen nice lines and could be used secondary to the Blum electric push release draws. The clients are very design conscious people and coupled with the fact it was twelve months before production began for this Kitchen, I was required to rework the drawings several times as their taste changed as they were exposed to new and different products in the market place. The end result is a very contemporary kitchen which takes peoples breath away when they first see it. This has become a focal point in this large open plan apartment.

Feng Shui Based Asian Kitchen Design

A good feng shui kitchen brings good health and well beings to the occupant. This is an important room both in the East and West. Not only it reflects a family fortune and prosperity, it is also the most heavily trafficked room connected to fond memories of pleasant aromas and intimate conversation.


Feng Shui Based Asian Kitchen Design

Choosing the Right Feng Shui Colors

White is a good dominating color to use here as it symbolizes purity and cleanliness. This Metal element color goes well with the strong Fire element in this place (Fire destroy Metal. Refrain from using Red (Fire element), Black/Dark blue (Water element) and Green (Wood element) as the dominating element color. Introducing Fire and Wood elements (Wood Produce Fire) as the dominant color create an overwhelming Fire element in the kitchen. On the other hand, Water destroys Fire. Instead, selective introduction of light leafy green, Red and Dark Blue/Black to the kitchen color scheme are fine.


Furniture Placement

The heart of the kitchen is the stove and much emphasis is placed on its positioning.

* Take note that especially for the stove,

  1. Should not be directly in line with the front door.
  2. Should not be position directly under the window as it lacks support. If relocation is not possible then keep the blinds down while cooking.
  3. Should not be place directly beside the fridge or sink since this create direct clash of the water and fire elements. You may place green crystals between them to act as a moderator.
  4. Should be placed away from the direct line of door.
  5. If you live in a 2 storey building, ensure the stove is not place directly below the lavatory.
  6. Stove should not face the toilet.
Another rule of Feng Shui:
  • Keep the floor of kitchen in clean and clear, Do not put any items on the kitchen floor: It could be more dangerous than any other rooms in your house. It's not only about Feng Shui Kitchen or the energy flow, it's also a simple house safety rules.
  • Kitchen under ladder is not a good feng shui kitchen, Some small house has to use space under the ladders to be cooking area. This is not a good Feng Shui Kitchen at all. People who use the kitchen may have accident easily.
believe it or not, its just a rule of Asian feng shui based kitchen.
