This contemporary kitchen has thought of everything: a line of high-rise cupboards and storage to hide large appliances against the back wall, a worktop with comfortable dimensions and an island-style return, which allows the room to be clearly delimited. It also has an integrated vegetable garden to grow aromatic herbs, right in the air.
The good idea in addition: cupboards accessible on the kitchen side and on the dining area side, so as not to run out of storage.

Although small, this kitchen offers all the comforts of a large room. The U-shaped layout here makes it possible to optimize all the available space, and even to set up a small dining area. It also allows the kitchen to be clearly delimited in relation to the entrance, for more functionality on both sides.
The good idea in addition: a glass roof to mark the separation without depriving the entry of light, nor narrowing the room on the kitchen side.

Fully open plan, this kitchen benefits from the opening onto the living room. A central island return on the dining room side has been added to extend the worktop. A good idea to increase the storage surface tenfold but also to structure the space in a large room.
The good idea in addition: retain the imprint of the old partition to effectively delimit the space.

With its clean lines, this contemporary kitchen focuses on elegance but also on sobriety, with matching fronts on the kitchen side and the living room side. The kitchen thus seems to blend in with the decor and is discreet despite a generous surface area.

Timeless, the white kitchen is a sure bet that never goes out of style. Here, its relatively classic U-shaped layout is energized by a brightly colored wall that wakes up the room and illuminates the interior of the house.
The good idea in addition: black furniture with a contemporary design, which contrasts with the kitchen elements to give a little more character to the whole.

Dressed in light gray, this kitchen plays the card of sobriety and elegance. The marble worktop brings an additional touch of chic, which also adorns the splashback behind the sink and the hobs, but also the return of the worktop to the floor.
The good idea in addition: decorative elements in brass (lights, high chairs, trays, mirror …) to illuminate the room.

Synonymous with good humor, pink is also a good idea to light up a room. Entirely dressed in a pastel shade, this kitchen is bathed in an atmosphere full of sweetness. We like the sober and contemporary lines, and the matte finish of the facades, very elegant.
The good idea in addition: a dark, gray or black worktop, to contrast and give a little relief and personality to the whole.

This U-shaped kitchen seduces with its generous dimensions. The back wall is occupied by a column of storage, extended by a linear work plan which ends with a large dining area. Cupboards and drawers think big and thus offer a nice storage surface.
The good idea in addition: a return inspired by a classic dining area with a table, and access on three sides for more comfort and conviviality.

This large family kitchen dares to mix colors and patterns for a decor that sparkles. The elements, with slightly vintage lines, are highlighted by a geometric pattern credenza and floral wallpaper.
The good idea in addition: if the abundance of pattern scares you, go for a single wallpaper to dress one of the walls in your kitchen, and calm the game with a more neutral paint in the rest of the room.
