Pictures of Kitchen Designs

As you analyze kitchen plans, keep in mind that you will be making tradeoffs for several alternatives of kitchen designs. Even if you had all the space in the world, you will have to make tradeoffs for the efficient utilization of the space.

Floor Plan Examples of Kitchen Designs

Selecting your appliances is one of the first things to do for kitchens design. It is helpful to have an idea of the dimensions, before the kitchen designer draws a preliminary plan. Before they can finalize the kitchen plan, they will need the exact specifications and dimensions of your appliances. Noll Builders and Remodelers would be glad to bring our kitchen designer to your home and review kitchen designs with you for your remodeling project in the Cincinnati area.

When evaluating kitchen plans, we consider how one brings groceries into kitchens, and where they are stored. You will want to make sure that you have enough counter space in the right location to make this process quick and efficient.

Do I want a pantry?
Some kitchen designs include a pantry cabinet. If you include this as part of your kitchen cabinetry, make sure that you visit your cabinet showroom at a cabinet supply store. It is important that you open up the pantry cabinet, operate the shelves, and look at the width and height of the shelves, to make sure it is functional for the items you would place in it.

Featuring Woodmode Cabinetry

If you need more space, consider building a pantry in addition to, or in replace of, a pantry cabinet. When we move walls or remodel an adjoining room to create a larger kitchen, we often design an over-sized pantry that can not only hold can goods and cereal boxes, but also provide a place for miscellaneous items such as light bulbs, cameras, crafts, portable appliances, and bulk storage.

Where does the oven and microwave go in kitchen designs?
Of course, it is nice to have the oven or double oven close and convenient to the workspace. The oven is often placed out of the way more due to other more important constraints of kitchens design. Usually, you are not in and out of your oven continually. However, when baking cookies, it is convenient for it to be not too far from your kitchen island.
The microwave is typically used less than the 3 main points of the triangle, so it can be placed further from the main working area. It is used frequently for heating foods up just before eating, so it is important to be close to the eating area.

Lighting in kitchen designs
Ambient Lighting: In most houses there is insufficient lighting, if only a few recessed can lights have been installed originally, making the kitchen dysfunctional. We typically recommend that several recessed cans be added for good kitchen plans. These should be placed above the counterspace, in walkways, and possibly in other areas of the kitchen. The most common recessed light is 6", while 4" recessed cans can give more character in certain areas. Natural light is always pleasant and desirable, but a well-planned kitchen lighting package will make any kitchen bright and cheerful.

Task Lighting: You may want to install task lighting anywhere you want very good lighting for a specific task. This may include: fluorescent fixtures under cabinets, pendant lights above the island for an elegant look and functionality, and recessed cans above a desk or sink area.

Accent Lighting: Incandescent mini-tubes can be run above cabinets to create a mood and to function as a nightlight. You can put lighting inside a glass door cabinet to showcase decorative pieces and to provide interest.
