Kitchen Ideas
9. Add some sunny hues This striking colour palette of charcoal and white coupled with sunny, bright yellow pendants is a winning combination. The large glazed window provides great natural light from the side, and tucked up higher you can see a peak of the higher-level glazing, directly lighting the centre of the space.
8. Stick to a light colour palette The clerestory windows illuminating the breadth of the kitchen and living zone are the saviour of this kitchen. A simplified light colour palette of white carcass and white, grey-veined marble work beautifully together. Additionally, wrapping the rear bench stone up the wall to form the splashback is a winner. The solid timber bench to the island adds a lovely warmth to the space and marries with the timber floors. It is important not to discount secondary daylight when renovating your kitchen. Borrowing light from another room, taking out a wall or adding a cut-out can make a big difference if your kitchen is room-locked with no direct sun.
6. Add a transparent splashback The transparent splashback creates a picture window to the lightwell, which is teeming with lush green bamboo. The deliberate placement of the window between the counter and the overhead cupboards allows maximum storage as well as daylight concentrated on the workbench. When peering out of this window, your view is focused down to the vegetation, blocking the multi-storey office building opposite. You can install a glass splashback behind the cooktop, too. It needs to be fire-resistant glass to comply with building regulations though, and is relatively expensive.
5. Let the outside in The floor-to-ceiling glass stacking doors provide the sole daylight to this kitchen. With the doors slid open, the culinary zone expands onto the balcony. The central kitchen has been cleverly located as a freestanding element. The suspended bulkhead, (see how it is not directly attached to the ceiling) defines the work zone and provides direct task lighting over the bench. The extension of the floor tiles and white ceiling from inside to outside further blurs the boundaries, creating an illuminated kitchen from a single light source.
4. Create a void The hero of this kitchen is the double volume, curvacious void with the glass curtain wall beyond. The first floor is peeled back, creating the void and basking the galley kitchen in natural light. It demonstrates beautiful kitchen design in a restricted space. The meal table is a fixed piece of joinery, and you can spy an additional service bench behind. The galley bench is raised off the ground, and the timber floor tucks under giving the impression that the bench is floating. The full-height windows open the room to the view of the low-level, elegant, rock and moss garden, enhancing the sense of space.
3. Create a floating sensation Most people would consider a long narrow space a challenge in design and functionality. The walk-through kitchen is shared circulation between the culinary zone and the passage, linking two areas of the home. This design has embraced the limited space and created a bright, airy and transparent environment. The floating timber overhead shelves are suspended between glazing vertically, and timber columns horizontally. The floating sensation is emphasised by the angled clerestory windows, and the timber roof appears to hover over the kitchen. There is plenty of space to pull up a stool at this bench to enjoy the water views. A highly successful walk-through kitchen.
2. Eliminate overheads Removing the overhead cupboards and extending windows up to the ceiling can vastly improve the amount of light, shown in this simple, clean-form kitchen. Sitting in the north-east corner of the dwelling saturates the kitchen in morning light, a great way to start the day. The reconstituted stone runs into the window, hiding the timber sill, creating a seamless junction of glazing to bench. The corner windows extend the breadth of the kitchen and opens up the vista to the garden beyond. Another method to lighten your space would be to remove blinds and curtains to windows as an economical way to let in more sunlight.
1. Add grand skylights Adding a skylight can make a dramatic change to the light and ambiance of your kitchen. This one has achieved fabulous illumination through three, boxed-out, skylights. The skylights are set at the roof level, and the wall cladding returns into the box extending the impression of space over the kitchen. The sun floods down the rear wall, blasting light across the workspace. This option may cost a few dollars, and you need to consider your roof structure and form first. A more modest choice would be to install solar tubes that reflect light through a tube in your roof over the kitchen bench.
A bi-fold window in the kitchen opens to breathtaking views of the surrounding valley and acts much like a landscape painting.

The gunmetal kitchen cabinets are galvanized hot-rolled steel with a clear-coat finish over an MDF substrate. A testament to its rich, variegated color, no two are alike.
