Kitchen design help

8 år sedan

Pictured is our current kitchen. We plan to keep the same design except on the far left instead of just random floating granite, we want to put a window seat....

we want white cabinets, with white/grayish sparkling quartz (the one with the little pieces of mirror I guess the best way to describe it)

then we want an espresso kitchen with the same quartz.

backsplash we found "abbey brick" from home depot which is a gray brick...

thoughts?

Thanks!

Just a little confused...are you trying to decide between a white kitchen or an espresso kitchen? Or did you mean that you want white cabinets with an espresso island? (Which I've seen and is quite pretty by the way). If that is the case, I would suggest a taupe or chocolate glaze on both to tie them together. Stark white against the espresso will look mismatched, but if both are glazed it will look cohesive. The only other suggestion I might make is to add a corner cabinet against the wall by the window (if there is room--hard to tell in the photo) which will give a look of continuity. One other way to add a little bit more drama is to stagger the height and depth of the cabinets. Put a little taller cabinet over the microwave, and bump it out a little. You can do the same thing over the fridge. Good luck!!

Sorry... I want white cabinets with espresso island! thanks for the suggestions!

The cabinets will be a bit longer than the ones pictured so I totally agree with that.

Terrific, thanks! Found out that the artist who made the altered version you see on the wall, her name is Aylin Langreuter. It hangs alongside another work by the artist in the home of Pietro Rossi, an interior designer. 10-The-Chamber-Of-Curiosity-gestalten-yatzer.jpg

Är svensk inredning och design 'lagom'?

Hej! I am Australian and live in Australia but have lived 7 years in Sweden. My written Swedish is rusty so I am going to write here in English in case you are interested in some more thoughts, although you have probably already written your article. I know more what lagom means than the average English speaker, but I certainly can't truly 'feel' it like a Swede who has grown up with it. For me it feels like how much Kalles I might put on my knackbrod, but I have lately started to try to think of it in terms of interiors and see if it works. The reason I am doing that is that I am currently working in the field of Professional Organising- helping people de-clutter, scale back, and organise. This process results in quite a makeover for a home and even life style and can be life changing. I personally LOVE minimalism and talk about it often but I find that the average person I meet is a bit cynical of minimalism and thinks it is too extreme. I have been reading a ton about minimalism and read some about hygge. I think what the average person is longing for is some minimalism+ some hygge. I think the current world (politics and fast pace of life , overdose of stuff, and overdose of info in our face all day on our screens, etc etc) feels a bit stressful for everyone these days. So, although the average person longs for simplicity, the word minimalism scares some people, and hygge is too cozy for some and so the concept and word LAGOM may be just the answer! The 'world' may start to borrow the word lagom from you Swedes now to fill a need for a word lacking in English that can fall between minimalism and cosy, that can feel relaxing, and which doesn't mean you have to get rid of as much as minimalism does. It may well gain a meaning outside of Sweden that is a different to inside Sweden I suppose. For example if the word became popular it could become a term for a 'style'. That would be pretty different to the meaning inside Sweden. I am actually planning to introduce the concept and word 'lagom' to my clients as way to encourage them to get rid of excess and have a calmer home, yet not be afraid as the goal does not have to be minimalism, it can be 'lagom' - just right, perfect, not too little, not too much. It sounds like a level or quantity they can choose themself as we go along. A bit like Marie Kondo's method; 'Choose to keep only what gives YOU joy and you will end up with just the right amount of stuff. It will be a result that fits YOU, not something you have to try to work to achieve, which I think Minimalism may feel to the average person. Shevaun Sandlund in West Australia.

Is this kind of the look you are going for? Notice the bump ups and the bump outs on some the cabinets? High style without a lot of extra cost.

Do not glaze your white cabinets that is not only a dated look but they always look dirty
