kitchen inspiration

published August 19, 2008 in inspiration, interiors and kitchen | email | print

We are looking for a kitchen for our new house and I am searching the net for inspiration. We have specific ideas about our dream kitchen: we love natural materials (wooden cabinets) and the kitchen should have rustic and modern feel. Does anybody has advice/tips about kitchen builders / designers in The Netherlands?

Here are some images of kitchens that I like and that I will use to create our kitchen.

More kitchen inspiration to come in the next days! By the way, I would love to hear how your dream kitchen would like. Images are very welcome!

Hi Danielle,

I am loving all those inspirational pictures! A Dutch kitchen designer I love is Paul van de Kooi: http://www.paulvandekooi.nl. A more afordable option is kvik: http://www.kvik.nl. I guess you’ve already heard of these companies, but thought it was worth mentioning them.

Good luck designing your dream kitchen!

Hello Danielle,

we have been working on a similar project - a house whose main floor is nothing more than an essküche (eat-in kitchen) for nearly four years- don’t ask - and i have a few images than i could share, but i just found your blog today and don’t know how i should attach images! please instruct.

I think I said it here before, but we just bought our kitchen. Unfortunatly I have no advice for you where to go. We just went to Grando. We also went to kvik but were dissapointed (prijs-kwaliteit verhouding was bijna schrikbarend teleurstellend voor ons! Grando bood ons voor bijna dezelfde prijs een veel betere keuken met veel betere aperaturen!).
I wish you luck with finding your perfect kitchen - I know its hard.

If you like wooden, handmade kitchens you might want to check out Fred Constant. He’s originally a furniture maker who now also designs kitchens. Piet Jan van den Kommer and Studio Op 16 (in Utrecht) are also great. Of course, if you’re on a smaller budget - like me - I can really recommend ‘t Schouw keukens (www.schouwonline.nl or something): they’re a really nice, small company that doesn’t f*ck around with prices: I always hated when they first name a ridiculous price and then drop a couple of thousands in a heartbeat. Anyway: good luck!
(and I really enjoy your blog)

I love the first 2 white kitchens! The second one would be my dream kitchen - beautiful!

Its amazing that the kitchen image third down doesn’t look cluttered considering all the shelving.
