Get your dream kitchen

There are several basic layouts available to plan your kitchen space.

The U-kitchen
Devices and closets are arranged in a U shape. Have at least 1m20 between the legs of the U.

Island shape
Best suited for houses where the living room and kitchen are contained into 1 single area.

G-kitchen
Make sure the entrance to the kitchen is wide enough. This design is very compact and offers alot of storage.



Double wall
Suited for kitchens with a window and the door on opposite sides.

L-kitchen
Offers alot of storage and/or space and allows for high furniture on both sides.

Single line kitchen
This shape is not optimal and will require the user to walk alot between devices or storage space.

Exclusive kitchens make use of colors in every way possible. What seems bright or ugly at first, might be great in combination of other colors or materials.

Fluorescent tubes
Fluorescent or TL tubes emit white and clear light. The light is very good to work with and the electricity consumption is usually smaller than regular light.
Disadvantages are the cozyness of the kitchen with TL light, it's good to work with, but not plesant to be in. A second disadvantage is the inability to dimm TL light.

Halogen lighting
This is currently the most used form of lighting in kitchens. The spots emit a plesant light that's a little less suitable to work with. Another advantage is the ability to connect a dimmer to the spots, allowing for even further customization of the light. A possible disadvantage is the heat emitted from the lights. Make sure, if you use spots, that enough ventilation is possible around the lights.

Energy savinglamp
A specially designed light that will reduce energy consumption compared to regular lights. The lifetime of the lamps also far exceeds that of regular lamps. The only possible downside is the slightly higher price. The light emitted is compairable to regular lights.

Make your kitchen eye catching, with colors.

Primary colors

The colors blue, red and yellow are primary colors. This means the exist on there own and are not made of other colors.

Secondary colors
These colors are based on a combination of the primary colors. Examples are orange, green, purple, pink, ...

White
White reflects natural light. Use white in an area that has little or no natural light. Light colors like white enlarge a room. Making the ceiling pure white will create the illusion of a bigger room.
Pure white is cool and hard, therefor use a combination like ivory or beige.

Black
Black will significally reduce the size of a room.
Only use black in combination with other colors and as a design accent.

Green
Green, the color of nature, give peace and quite in a room.

Blue
Another color of nature. However, blue is cool and best used on a southern wall. Northern walls will make the color harder and cooler.

Yellow
The color of the sun. Brightens up any room.

Red and orange
Red and/or orange are strong, vivid colors, bringing life into the room.

Brown
Brown in itself is a mix of alot of different colors, making it suitable to combine with about anything.

There is no dream kitchen without high-tech innovation, unless you are a retro fan of course.

Here's an example of an ultra modern kitchen, recently designed to promote brands featuring high-tech materials and products.
It might look too futuristic, or clean. But the point is showing some of the many differences in future kitchens.

The kitchen features touch screens to control every device. On top of that, there are sound activated programs and functionality.

The walls are fitted to be used as lighting, with possibilities to cycle through colors to change the mood of the kitchen.

To my taste, this is a rather small sink, but I'm sure if you get a kitchen like this you have plenty of options to change it to what you want.

The controls have a futuristic look and are made with LED technology and Corian.

Here are some examples of exclusive kitchens designed by Italian brands

Noticeable here are the rounded cabinets. They give your kitchen a smooth and unique design.


This kitchen features a unique view on the kitchen island. The unit is completely isolated and giving it a floating appearance.

Corners are usually a waste in a kitchen. You either just leave the sapce, or you find clever tricks to make everything reachable.

Corner furniture

The circular kitchen is another idea to redesign the kitchen to accomodate more devices into a smaller space.

Closing is optional

Retro cannot be labeled as old. Retro is the modern vision of a past development.

A retro looking sink has the looks of the past, but the ease of use of the present. Or an entire kitchen redesigned to look retro. Just make sure you don't exaggerate.






Disco is back in town!

It's a new trend. Instead of just having a barbeque in the backyard, you can get a full and functional kitchen.
It's great to cook outdoors.
The kitchens are usually stylish and integrated with the surroundings. They need to be functional (like any kitchen) but also water and windproof.
