Modern homes need to have kitchens that are both spacious and practical. Contertops have an enormous impact on the look and feel of your kitchen design, helping set the style and tone for the heart of your home. Today while I was surfing on BBA Design Consultants I’ve noticed in their residential works, a few interesting kitchen designs, and I’ve decided to make a small inspirational collection here on Freshome, for those of you who look for a little inspiration for their kitchen design. Finally here are 9 pictures with a few beautiful kitchen designs, that might give you an idea or two.

This awesome futuristic kitchen concept design was designed by Sebastien Poupeau. At a first glance this kitchen might look like an Apple product, clean design, sleek lines, and of course eye catching, but this beautiful design is a futuristic kitchen that offers “a food cutting area, a digital screen enabling the cooker to pilot the equipment, listen to music or access to the web to find recipes for instance — this ‘multi-screen’ is extended by a dining surface.” On both sides stand two units; one with induction hobs and an oven for cooking, preparing; the other with a sink and its drying rack fitted into and a dishwasher with two separated racks. The project also envelops an upper level for the hood and a heating area. A light made of optical fibre under the surface holds the glasses over the guests. - Via - Hometone

Whirlpool has presented its futuristic version of a “green” kitchen. It seems that more and more people and companies become aware about the green movement and start using green home appliances to save on energy and water. This kitchen concept is designed to redistribute 60% of the water and heat generated from the various kitchen appliances to fuel other appliances or functions. For example this concept is supposed to use the heat from the refrigerator’s compressor to provide hot water. The green kitchen would help users to reduce at least 24% of the total energy bill by reducing energy use and recycling water and energy needs. To bad we can’t seemore details from the pictures. - Via - Yahoo News & Pocket-Lint

If you were asking how this cooktop work here’s a brief explanation : The “Hot Dots” technology adds a thick (3.5mm) aluminum disk which is impact bonded to the base of the five-ply body under hundreds of thousands of pounds of pressure. The “Hot Dots” partially expose the aluminum disk in the form of holes, or “dots”, which allow the flame direct contact with the aluminum. As a result, heat conductivity is facilitated quicker (on average, 15% faster than pots considered best in the world at this feature), not just at the base but throughout the entire pan.

This beautiful and smart kitchen design is made by Fevzi Karaman a designer from Turkey, Ankara who made the kitchen cupboard “silverline” which won a prize at a contest student. The colors of the kitchen pechues with a green apple that gives a sacred Deco touches to the kitchen. The modular furniture is very advanced with a work plan to be drawn into a table. This kitchen design is very clever, and when is not used as a kitchen it can be a sleek piece of furniture. I hope that one day I’ll see this kitchen design in practice.
