New home kitchen design

il y a 8 ans

We are building a new house and it is decision time for the kitchen. I could really use some help on the following issues:

1. The builder is putting in granite countertops. Any popular granite choices out there?

2. Kitchen appliances: Best and long lasting appliances? We are planning for an induction cooktop (decided against gas to be more environmentally friendly and safe), convection microwave and traditional wall oven, ducted over the range hood.

Any opinions on warming drawers?

2. Sinks: Want to do two sinks. One large farm sink and another decent sized sink (not a prep sink) Any suggestions?

Appliances should be chosen for what you need and how you cook they do not have to come from one manufacturer in fact I strongly discourage that with my clients because no one company makes everything well . I also avoid big ticket appliances just because you think they are better IMO Sub Zero and Wolf are examples of over priced and over rated. If you have decided on induction I would advise a trip to an appliance dealer that does demos of these working. Often all your pots will be obsolete so check that out. I have a 2 burner induction but still use gas most of the time.I have 2 sinks in my island that are back to back for us this is great as my husband does the prep and I do the cooking so one is on the fridge side and the other on the stove side.

Thank you. We are going to check out the appliances. We are having a tough time choosing the range hood.

Désolée pour cette réponse tardive ... La console est installée. Il faut juste un peu de deco pour la meubler. Toujours en attente de notre électricien donc les suspensions aussi ! Je pense commander 6 chaises chez MDM : 4 noires vieillies et 2 grises d'ici peu. Je vous joins des photos très bientôt ; -) Merci de prendre des nouvelles !!!

OUI OUI OUI MILLE X OUIIIIIIIII pour cette caravane américaine à défaut de la maison sur l'eau que j'ai choisi car, hélas, je n'aurai jamais l'autorisation de l'amarrer dans ma Lagune Vénitienne chérie ;( De toute façon, pourvu que mon espace de vie bouge au gré de mes envies, cela reste l'essentiel pour moi. Ne surtout pas rester figée une vie entière au même endroit. Bouger, voyager, nomade ....nomade ....et voir le monde ...; ))

Choosing an Interior Designer
Q
Commentaires (0)
Choosing an Interior Designer If you are thinking of working with an interior designer, be aware that the relationship is, by its very nature, intimate. Given this, you reap immeasurable benefits when you take some time upfront to consider just what it is you want from this person you're about to invite into your life. As with any relationship, clear communication can go a long way to alleviating any misunderstandings. Here are a few questions to ask yourself, questions to ask prospective designers, and some hard-won tips we've picked up along the way. Assess Your Work Style Before you pick up the phone and start calling prospects, spend a few moments thinking carefully about your preferred method of working. This little bit of soul searching will go a long way to ensuring you hire the right person, and will help to lay a solid foundation for a successful working relationship. For starters, think carefully about your answer to these questions: At what level do you want to be involved in the creative process? Do you want to be consulted on the nitty-gritty, day-to-day details, or are you more interested in big picture issues? Similarly, at what level do you want to be involved in the product research? Are you looking for comprehensive, "soup to nuts" guidance, or do you consider yourself design-savvy and only in need of assistance with color, space planning and resources? Are you a visual person or a tactile person? Will you be satisfied with a designer showing you photos of products, or do you prefer to see and feel everything before deciding whether it is right for you? Do you prefer to be shown many options or fewer? Are you open to the input of others? Are you able to make choices with confidence, or do you tend to vacillate? What are your expectations in terms of a timeline Determine the Scope of Your Project The scope of a project to some extent dictates the qualifications and experience required of the interior designer you are hiring. If you are building a new home or addition, or undertaking a major renovation to existing space, you are likely already working with an architect. This is good. Architects and designers often work in concert, balancing the aesthetics of the home's structure, or "bones," with the interior furnishings and finishes. You may want to get your architect involved in the selection of the interior designer—whether it's recommending someone he or she has already worked with, or using one of the interior designers the firm may have on staff. If you're redecorating a single room or have a limited budget for a space that does not require structural change, you may not need an interior designer at all. You may be happy hiring a specialist, such as a color consultant, who can work with your existing furnishings and help you revamp the space with new paint color and fabric selections.

Apporter de la couleur dans ma cuisine ou pas ?
Q
Commentaires (85)
Pas très coloré tout ça... ;) Vu la couleur actuelle (un blanc légèrement plus foncé que vos plinthes), elle est déjà "blanc cassé". Certes, la matière ne se fait pas ressentir en photo, mais je doute que remettre un autre blanc cassé vous changera grande chose. Perso, je préfère des teintes neutres avec des accessoires changeables permettant de redonner un coup de "changement" aux moindre frais / temps, mais une peinture murale reste facile à changer, si vous vous lassez à terme. Il faut aussi faire TRES attention avec une image sur écran. On a même du mal a choisir un blanc sur un vrai nuancier papier - la perception de la couleur change intégralement selon le type de support et le type d'éclairage.

Choose your stove or cooktop and that will have a huge bearing on the hood fan choices you will need a certain # of CFM for that choice.
