Beautiful Designer Kitchens

We've gathered all our best kitchens in one place – from country casual to sleek and modern. Take a look at some of our favorite kitchen designs.

Breakfast Room

This breakfast room is lit by French doors on either side and a picture window behind the long table. Designed by Berkley Vallone and Caroline DeCesare.

Moroccan Influences

Open shelves for display break up the cabinetry in this Lake Michigan home’s kitchen. Designer Martin Horner chose blue mercury-glass pendants from Gallery L7 to pick up the color theme and the home’s exotic style. English sabre-leg counter stools from the Sterling Collection.

Natural Inspiration

In this traditional North Carolina mountain home designed by Ruard Veltman, a custom-made table abuts the kitchen island to create more prep space and encourage sit-down meals. Open shelving offers plenty of storage and is also accessible from the dining room's pass-through. Metal stools, R&Y Augousti.

Pine and Iron

In this coastal Connecticut kitchen by Susan Drake, color of the finish on the cabinets changes with the light, but the gray undertones blend in with the antique iron pendants from John Rosselli and the custom rolled-steel hood. Wolf cooktop with grill. The Kensington bar stools made by Arhaus are made from reclaimed pine and iron.

Breakfast Area

Designer Kay Douglass chose overscale willow basket lights from South of Market to help define the breakfast area in this large Atlanta kitchen. Tones of gray reappear in the curtain fabric by Lewis & Sheron Textiles and the Dual Seat Counter Bench by Lee Industries. Faucet by Waterworks. Sub-Zero refrigerator. Mirror from South of Market.

Gorgeous Gray

The kitchen is a favorite place to host casual lunches and dinners. "The mahogany-topped island can easily fit 12 stools," says Parrish Chilcoat, who designed this masculine Southern California home with Joe Lucas. "In a room this big, with east and west exposures, all this gray is grounding," Lucas adds. To set the cabinets and island apart, the designers painted them two different shades: Farrow & Ball's Down Pipe, a warm gray, on the cabinets, and Benjamin Moore's cooler Chelsea Gray on the island. Antique industrial pendants and a custom stainless-steel hood add sculptural focal points. The backsplash is acid-washed Seagrass limestone from Classic Tile.

Chalkboard Bar

One of the homeowners of this California beach house became obsessed with finding just the right vintage stove; he spotted this Chambers range on antiqueappliances.com. Designer Erin Martin added a blackboard on the breakfast bar for an opportunity for an intriguing quote. Subway tiles by Heath Ceramics remind owner Kim Dempster of the inside of a shell. Gemini ceiling lights from Alfa. Paint throughout the house is Benjamin Moore's Snow on the Mountain.

Swedish-Style Kitchen

The client's love for Swedish style inspired the cabinetry, custom-made by designer and furniture-maker Kevin Ritter, for this gray and blue kitchen.
