Interior Design Sense

It’s so refreshing to see a super stylish kitchen properly designed for people with special needs, like the awesome Skyline Lab kitchen by Snaidero. Modern and beautiful, this kitchen is designed to make life easier – which is what good design is all about. Born from an ergonomic point of view, Skyline Lab offers solutions to those who need to use a kitchen in a different way. Essentially, the kitchen surrounds the user so that everything is within reach at the appropriate heights and depths to accommodate wheelchair access. Every detail is thought of, from a shallow sink, to carousel storage, to a retractable shelf under the oven – and that’s just naming a few! Visit Snaidero to learn more.

These vintage style kitchens by Marchi Group have awoken our appetite for some retro style. The Loft and 1956 kitchens have an unmistakably old-school appeal that reminds us of Mom’s classic culinary space, pride in every last quirk.

The 1956 kitchen (above) has a country-chic aesthetic, featured in a sweet cream finish – delish! The floating cabinets and shelves are handy for added storage that keeps all your kitchen essentials close at hand. And throw-back to the streets of London, a phone booth-style door conceals the fridge.

The Loft kitchen (above) has a more industrial feel. Adding to its traditional flair, we love the ’50s-era pastel teal color complementing the steel-patchwork range hood and handles. Paired with stainless steel appliances, the look is “old-fashioned for the future.”

For many undertaking a kitchen remodel, the goal is typically to expand an already compact kitchen. However, the reality is often times some spaces cannot be enlarged or expanded by increasing the square footage. Instead maximizing a compact kitchen space and aesthetically improving it’s design and style is the most ideal way to turn a small space into a big improvement!

Modern and minimalist, this kitchen epitomizes the aesthetics of a compact kitchen.

Super space saver and super sophisticated sometimes putting the best into a small space is great on the return.

This compact kitchen has a more expansive feel by it’s use of open shelving, mirrors, and pass-thru counter / bar height seating. Maximizing space to it’s fullest it includes a built-in banquette dining area.

This is a layout I have done for many small kitchens incorpoating an island with seating and storage, prep sink optional, makes for a functional compact kitchen.

Classic and contemporary, sink side feels open with windows and cabinets are best placed to maximize storage.

A model (pun intended) example of a compact kitchen, this one in a Manhattan loft, where even the narrowest of islands provides functionality.

Light, bright, and airy a tiny kitchen that feels very open and even includes a little counter seating area by incorporating a tiny ledge of surface area.

Another kitchen with an island and bar height seating, not to mention a full height cabinet help to make this compact kitchen feel more open.

Taking cabinets full height (to the ceiling) is a great idea to make any kitchen feel larger, whether or not it’s compact.

I had to check the post title after the first half-dozen pics – surely you meant the most unliveable living rooms of 2011? But, no. Odd. Cramped and over-furnitured quarters offering barked shins for anyone attempting access, uncomfortable seating with a resting place for a cuppa nowhere within reach, a glass table poised to do real damage in a colorful deathtrap of a room… All the beautiful and comfortable rooms I’ve found on this site! I can’t imagine what the qualifications were when you chose these are representative of being ‘favorite’.
