KITCHEN FIXTURES
You have to tip your hat to IKEA. While well-known for building low cost, stylish furniture (that you painfully assemble yourself), they’ve managed to break into the kitchen design business big time. In fact, more and more people are opting for IKEA kitchens because they do look great, are decent quality and cost less than other custom kitchen options. Moreover, IKEA offers a lot of options with respect to cabinets, countertops and fixtures. Here is a huge collection of IKEA kitchen ideas and examples. Check them out for inspiration.
#25: Old World Kitchen
This is a perfect combination of a kitchen and a dining area. The chandelier hanging from the ceilings have a distinctive shield shape reminiscent of the knights of old. The pale green curtains and the dim lighting of the kitchen gives the room a very medieval feel.
#24: In the Black Kitchen
This super elegant kitchen has black walls, black cabinetry units, and black hanging lamps. The pale floor, countertops and golden wood table provide a stark and beautiful contrast to the black finish of the kitchen. This kitchen is influenced by Asian themes .
#23: Tiled Backsplash Kitchen
This kitchen has a huge marble top counter, which provides ample space for lots of baking. The floor of the kitchen is lined with soft carpet. The walls of the kitchen, however, are tiled with white, brick-shaped tiles. The two huge lamps and the peach colored wall section provide lightness and brightness to the room.
#22: Fishscale Lantern Kitchen
This wonderfully modern kitchen has a bit of Asian style to it, primarily because of the twin silver fishscale lamps hanging from the ceiling. Although much of the kitchen has clean, white, stark lines, the soft golden glow from the hanging lanterns give it a warm and welcoming feeling.
#21: Steel-Toned Kitchen
This stylish and functional kitchen contains a dark wood cabinetry unit that comprises almost the entirety of one wall. The island made of the same wood is placed in the middle of the kitchen and is bedecked with stainless steel pots and pans. The silver kitchen vent also lends a touch of modern steel to the wooden-themed kitchen.
#20: Chrome and Wood Kitchen
The kitchen comprises of silver appliances, steel fixtures, and concrete color furniture. The golden wood island in the middle of the kitchen takes up most of the space and provides a warm, beautiful contrast to the cooler colors in the kitchen.
#19: Pattern Play Kitchen
This kitchen has plenty of patterns and colors which give a nod to nature. The ceiling is made up of open beams, above which you can detect a stripy, green pattern. The rug below the table is of dark color with fluid, white pattern. Best of all, one wall is almost entirely covered by a huge painting of a forest in the fall season.
#18: Eclectic Kitchen
The most striking things in this kitchen are the pale wood stools and the table. Although the overall look of the kitchen, with its grey wall, white counters and island, and steel vent hood, is quite modern, the wooden pieces give it an eclectic and mix-and-match feel. The effect is very cool.
#17: Juxtapose Kitchen
Have you ever seen a kitchen so full of contradictions? The room has warm brown country-style chairs but ornate chandeliers that seem to belong to the Victorian era. Then there are the ultra-modern hanging lamps near the sink, which is part of a concrete-colored counter and cabinetry unit. This blend of old and new, rustic and urban creates one of the most delightful of kitchens.
#16: Blended Redwood Kitchen
This warm and cozy looking kitchen is fitted with dark redwood island, fixtures and cabinets, giving it a very woodland look. However, this rustic look is tempered by the steel and leather chair, the string of tiny studio spotlights and the triangular-shaped modern lamps suspended by some judicious use of chains.
#15: Sleek and Modern Kitchen
This kitchen is all about straight, sleek lines and metallic colors. The large island and stovetop is made up of a pale and smooth material with a rectangular shaped vent hood. The ceiling is open-beamed with lots of tiny lights shining from it. The sheer drapes on the window allow the filtered light to fill the room, softening the lines of the room with its whimsical glow.
#14: Tatami Minimalist Kitchen
Another kitchen that borrowed some concepts from the Japanese culture. This kitchen is quite spare but no less beautiful for it. The furniture and fixtures are made of straight clean line and twin lanterns infuse the kitchen with a warm glow. The center of the kitchen floor is bedecked with a Tatami mat, giving a sense of peace to the room.
#13: Fern Forest Kitchen
You will feel like you have stepped into a soft fern glade when you walk into this kitchen. The illusion is intensified by the grass green wall paint and the backdrop printed with fern leaves. A hanging lamp is suspended from the ceiling over a round table, giving out a soft glow. This kitchen has a very comfy and relaxing feel.
#12: Country Cottage Kitchen
This kitchen belongs inside a little country cottage. The cozy and compact room is lined on two sides with cabinets, cooking range and a sink. There is a wooden table with the typically country-style, cross-backed chairs. On the right wall, a bunch of beautiful flowers complete the picture of a country cottage.
#11: Wabi Sabi Kitchen
Like the Japanese concept of Wabi Sabi, which embraces imperfections and inconsistencies, this kitchen is also made of light and dark colors as well as both natural and artificial materials. The wooden table with its black runner and white soup bowls are in stark contrast with the sleek white modern countertops and fixtures. This is a kitchen which is beautiful because of its imperfections.
#10: Yin & Yang Kitchen
This is another Japanese-styled kitchen which plays on the colors of Yin and Yang. The black and white rug, black table and black lamps look right at home with the pale golden fixtures and floor. The soft gray textured wall is the perfect accompaniment to the beautiful layout.
#9: Lime & Black Kitchen
This kitchen is made on a narrow strip; however, the perfect arrangement of its fixtures and the beautiful pale lime green colors make it seem much larger and brighter than its original specifications. The beautiful black marble tiles on the backsplash provide a touch of bold to the placid colors.
#8: Feminine Farmhouse Kitchen
This lovely farmhouse styled kitchen is perfectly dolled up for a ladies’ tea party. To the ultra feminine lamps with their lace-styled shades to the printed tea mugs hanging on the wall, this kitchen is the epitome of a feminine farmhouse.
#7: Country Kitchen
This traditional and country-styled kitchen looks bright and spacious, thanks to its predominantly white color tones. The colorful knick-knacks on the table as well as the cute pictures on the wall, makes this a perfect place to bring in your guests and socialize.
#6: Casual Contemporary Themed Kitchen
Ever been to a Japanese hot spring sap? This is probably what their kitchen looks like. In the Japanese style, the walls and fixture are made of golden toned wood. The table and chairs are made of extremely dark, almost black, wood, giving the whole kitchen an old Japanese look.
#5: Country Chic Kitchen for Small Spaces
This kitchen is suffused with a warm, soft and calming glow from the overhead lamps. The furniture is made of warm-toned wood, while the floor is draped with a rustic-looking rug. The walls are decorated with fresh plants and the shelves are littered with quaint countryside objects, which further accentuate the rustic feeling.
#4: Modern Lights Kitchen
The kitchen has a very contemporary look with mint green fixtures, white bar stools and accents of chrome. But what really catches the attention are the myriad of lights. From the tiny spotlights to the cylindrical, cage-style lamps that light up the room; this kitchen has no shortage of beautiful lighting.
#3: Mint Green Kitchen
This kitchen with its earth-toned wooden tables and mint-green fixtures is the perfect place for a family to have a relaxing dinner. The green plant arranged in the middle of the table, coupled with the wooden décor, incorporates nature into the lovely kitchen.
#2: Warm and Romantic Kitchen
This beautiful rustic-style kitchen comes with a golden toned floor and two beautiful lamps with lace. The pink lights from underneath the cabinets give a rosy hue to the room and the tiny vase of red roses on the table makes this kitchen the perfect place for a romantic dinner.
#1: Red Cedar and Black Tile Kitchen
This stunning, bright and warm kitchen comprises of mostly redwood fixtures coupled with black countertops. The small black marble tiles lend a hint of sophistication to the kitchen. However, the large hanging lamps and tiny spotlights provide plenty of light to the kitchen, which would otherwise have looked too gloomy.
