Dramatic Kitchen Interior Design by Alessi - Rustic and Ultra Modern combine

The look of this remarkable kitchen interior would work well in an art studio or loft, with the unexpectedly exciting pairing of rather rustic and ultra-modern! A great example of the hot trend of mixing the very new with the very old, we see a bright and shiny, totally up-to-date Alessi kitchen against pale, mottled, unfinished walls. The contrast in age is heightened with the dated brick fireplace in the corner, which also brings a certain coziness to the kitchen. The slightly battered wooden floors that may have seen better days now possess a charm and character that a newer floor wouldn’t develop for many years. High-tech equipment including the television and satellite dish, however, bring us firmly back to the 21st century. A dramatic kitchen interior design for those who respect the past, but relish the now.

Innovative Kitchen Concept by Lago - the 36e8 Kitchen Suites

Have fun creating your kitchen! Lago has released an innovative kitchen concept that draws on creative forms and dimensions to shape your kitchen. These 36e8 kitchen "non-kitchen" suites are incredibly attractive, not only in their stunning colours and sleek surfaces, but also in their versatility: The Lago storage units can be positioned horizontally or vertically and can be combined in a variety of ways to create your perfect kitchen. For example, you can stack the units like building blocks to produce forms such as trees, lobsters, etc! Thanks to extra-clear plate crystal supports, the bases can also be suspended and can extend into the middle of the room, creating the illusion of a floating counter. The design also incorporates the use of the N.O.W (Not Only White) system through the accessories and equipment, as well as through the possibility of internal integration of refrigerators and ovens. The premise of these innovative kitchen suites resides in warmth and practicality, and seeks to remove the over-loaded kitchens of the past.

Finish custom-made fireplace from NunnaUuni: kitchen - fireplace concept

Ready for an evening dinner by the fireplace? This NunnaUuni custom made fireplace, inspired by the open fireplaces seen in ski resorts in Central Europe, is so much more than a source of heat and visual beauty – it creates a spectacular centrepiece in this rustic home. The texture of the stone stands out proudly against the warm tones of the wood and tiled floor. What makes this design so special is the placement of the fireplace – right in the middle of the space. This allows for the back end of the fireplace to be utilized for some other means – in this instance, a kitchen. In fact, a ceramic range has been installed at the back of the fireplace, with the chimney hood mimicking the fireplace chimney. This back-to-back setting is not only practical, it is visually appealing in its mirror effect of contemporary versus nostalgic.
These particular pictures are from a villa on the shore of Lake Saimaa in Finland.

Contemporary Kitchen with a Rustic Twist

This fruity kitchen by ABK is inviting with its contemporary design and mix of materials and elements. Modern Italian tile has been used along the entire wall area, creating an extension of the backsplash and a larger canvas for the tile pattern. The colors play between pink, rust and strawberry tones, staying far away from the bright red diner look. Framing the modern tiles are the wood beams and wood flooring, which add a rustic charm; however, this charm is directly opposed by the large amount of silver and chrome used in the cabinetry and seating. The white lacquered island grounds the kitchen and is highlighted with a modern hanging light and four bright bar stools, creating a perfect area for casual entertainment. This kitchen various and colorful styles are sure to appeal to anyone who enjoys the blend of contemporary and rustic ideas.

Cool and Contemporary Kitchen: The Multipla Laccata

We are accustomed to seeing kitchens composed of warm dark wood and soft lighting. The Multipla Laccata is a stunning contrast with its airy and light appeal. The combination of smurf blue and white lacquered cabinets are perfect for a more contemporary kitchen, and offer a glimpse of winter charm. The snowy speckled floor adds to the character, and the glass shelves and frosted doors finish off the fresh look. The blue motif is picked up throughout the accessories with a variety of shades. The kitchen design is also positioned in a casual walk-through manner, allowing the kitchen to become part of the home as opposed to a separate room onto itself. This creates an abundance of space for cooking and entertaining. The Multipla Laccata is by Aerre Cucine.

Kitchen with an Open Ceiling Concept

An earthy kitchen with a massive amount of sky. This design offers an innovative combination of two rooms enjoyed by all: The kitchen and the sunroom. Each unit in the kitchen is freestanding, as if to create the least amount of obstruction as possible. This, along with the cubic pattern that is applied throughout, allows for a greater sense of depth and freedom. The design employs two cabinet colors – one pale, one warm – to create separate spaces without adding unnecessary walls. The seamless white floors are prefect for reflecting the temperament of the sky, while the frosted glass shelving and dark accessories provide the extra ingredient to this play of light and shadows.

Interesting Kitchen Elements

This Euromobil design introduces new functional elements to the contemporary kitchen. Along with a combination of strong steel and warm wood, the Filanta design highlights versatility and functional imagination. An island can sometimes create lost space in a kitchen, but why not add a bench to island – creating an attached breakfast bar in the centre of the kitchen. An open-ended bookcase in the kitchen is also a novel idea, giving you plenty of storage space for cookbooks or displaying items. The wall unit also divides the space in a manner that is not obstructive. The Filanta kitchen by Euromobil is designed for living, and creates a balance between functionality and style.
