r/KitchenDesigns

ok i posted a couple days ago different pictures of my kitchen, one had my son in it sorry, i was trying to get the different angle and i can't get in there right now because we had a small fire and had to move out for the time being. The fire was relatively small, but the smoke is insane and has really destroyed so much of my entire home. i'm trying to figure out if i am making some good choices, since all of this feels overwhelming. i was getting tired of the white (not enough to actually hire someone to repaint it but now i have to) also we want to put a back splash in and change the hood. my previous contractor forgot i wanted a hood years ago and did this one quickly. again its fine but i would like something different. here is what i am thinking. the first pictures are of my kitchen ( before the fire). AI changed my sink, but my sink is copper and will not change.

*edit* the black rail that goes along the top is for the library ladder, i will probably diy some copper pipes instead of the black

I am trying to decide whether extending my kitchen beyond L Shape is worth the extra cost. I will be having my partner move in so there is pro of having more counter space and storage. However, its an extra 1.3k in terms of the units and installation. Could there be cheaper alternatives to gets counter space and storage while having the L Shape??

This house is getting completely remodeled. How would you design a kitchen into this space? The black square in the middle is a column that can be moved on a vertical line in the direction towards the fireplace, but it's been driving me crazy trying to figure out how to design around it. It can't be further than 18ft from either the firplace wall or the garage/kitchen wall, which it's set at 18ft from the firplace wall currently on this floor plan.

The window to the right of the garage is the original kitchen window. The other unlabeled windows to the right are 2' 11.5" from the ground, so flush with counter height if you go that route.

I've tried breakfast nooks, big islands, small islands, L's, U's, etc and I just can't ever quite figure out where to place a pantry, fridge, sink, stove/oven, and dishwasher and still fit nicely with that column there.

The scale at the bottom is 26in wide so there's a visual reference for standard countertop depth.

Next step will be enlisting professional help. I was just hoping to get a better idea of what I wanted before I take it to a designer. Ideally I'd have an island and an open space for seating and entertaining.

Our clients fell in love with this textural leaf-print wallpaper, and we knew it had to be the foundation of the entire space. We carried warm white oak through the tall corner cabinet and open shelving to complement it, then grounded everything with painted greige lower cabinets and matte black hardware. The unlacquered brass faucet and vintage-style sconces add just enough warmth and patina to keep it from feeling too polished. Calacatta quartz wraps the countertop and backsplash in one seamless surface.

DM and I'll send a link to more pictures and videos on our project page (I wasn't sure if rules allowed me to post directly).

My wife is concerned that the cooktop and hood does not line up with the sink and fireplace. I think the cook top and hood looks balanced on that wall. Any thoughts?

We designed this kitchen around contrast: flat-panel white uppers to keep the wall light, balanced with walnut lowers and tall storage for warmth and texture. Open shelving breaks up the run and keeps everyday pieces accessible without cluttering the space.

We kept the backsplash minimal with a horizontal window to bring in light and expose a bit of brick, then anchored the room with a slab island and integrated cooktop. Brass details and a sculptural chandelier add just enough edge without overpowering the palette.

Goal was simple: highly functional layout, clear sightlines, and materials that stand the test of time.

Trying to decide what stick-on backsplash I want to use in my (first ever!) kitchen. I like warm country kitchens, so I’m trying to adjust to the painted gray cabinets that the previous owners had. It’s much cuter in person. My mom loves the light gray tiles but I’m in love with the stars. She says it’ll overpower the room but what do y’all think?
I hate modern kitchens and am the type to have cast iron pots on the stove and a pale yellow kitchen aid on the counter. I want it to be cozy but timeless. First two photos are of my kitchen and then screenshots of the amazon tiles

We are currently renovating a 1920s craftsman. Blonde brick exterior with a lot of dark wood interior (floors, window /door frames, wainscoting ). We want to bring the home from traditional to ‘transitional. We chose a statement marble for our large galley kitchen . Counter and backsplash but we are struggling with the floor choice. Limestone vs wood. I’m also leaning towards a taupe cabinet color. I want to respect the homes heritage but I’m struggling in direction. Did I make a mistake in the marble? I used ai and our cabinet design to display. Advice is appreciated 😌

I’m planning to do counter depth, built in appliances. Will I be good to extend my island to the end of the fridge? I’ll have just under 4ft of space.

My question: In an open concept space, is it more important to align the range hood, sink, and fireplace sight line? Or to center the range on its own wall for visual symmetry within the kitchen?

I’m remodeling an open concept home and need help thinking through a layout conflict.

The island sink and living room fireplace are centered on the same sight line. The range wall is 144” wide, but a mudroom walkway opening on the right side throws off the balance so the wall isn’t symmetrical to work with.

If I center the 48” range to the island sink and fireplace, it sits too far to one side of the wall, and the flanking cabinets become uneven.

If I center the range on the wall itself, the hood is visually balanced with equal cabinet runs on each side, but it breaks the sight line connection to the sink and fireplace.
