Jade bathroom

Starting with the idea of a soft, pretty mint green scheme, this ensuite is brought to life with mosaic tiles for the shower and a vanity unit painted to match. Even the limewash look wood-effect flooring has a hint of green. A walk-in shower keeps things practical whilst lights with a dimmer system next to the mirror can be altered for a relaxing soak or pampering illumination.

Antique bird prints in thick black and gold frames and a white bathroom suite give a traditional feel. The panelling creates a shelf where toiletries and plants are displayed. An antique chair is tucked into a window alcove for extra seating.

Small modern bathroom

Natural stone colours and starfish and pebble decorations give a seaside feel. A Villeroy & Boch suite and Kohler taps give a modern edge. Shutters let light flood in but provide privacy when needed. A wooden vanity unit provides storage for towels and toiletries. A circular mirror echoes the basin shape and provides a focal point.

Cottage bathroom

This small cottage bathroom is painted in neutral tones to maximise space and light. A contemporary suite with a round, surface-mounted basin and column taps contrasts with the original beams and traditional tongue-and-groove panelling around the bath. Tiles from Walton ceramics add colour, while a mirror with an ornate frame is decorative.

Transitional kitchens include elements of both traditional and contemporary design. Eclectic in nature, they mix natural and man-made materials as well as finishes and textures.

For example, an Arts & Crafts or Shaker kitchen can be made transitional rather than traditional by lightening the color palette, adding bamboo flooring, and showcasing appliances rather than hiding them behind wooden panels.

Molding and fixtures aren’t elaborate but do have some ornamentation.

from http://www.kitchens.com/

Country kitchens are cheery and welcoming, with light and/or bright colors, painted and glazed cabinets, woven baskets, floral motifs, and decorative shelving and molding.

Expect to see:

* Floral, checked, striped, gingham and plaid patterns
* Window and wall treatments in fabrics such as chintz and calico
* Beadboard wainscoting and paneling
* Painted, glazed and distressed cabinet finishes
* Chicken wire or metal cabinet inserts
* Handmade, hand-forged, homespun look
* Antiques and flea-market finds

French Country: Framed cabinets in either raised or recessed panels outfit a room with French country flair. Cherry and oak cabinetry—glazed, distressed or pickled for an authentic finish—reign supreme, though pastel painted cabinetry is also a wise choice. Decorative shelving, the use of beadboard, a butler’s wall or pantry and plate racks will add to the genuine French Country feel.

English Country: Slightly more proper than French country, English country style relies on a square cabinet design accented by curves. To maintain a handcrafted look, light or natural cabinets in pine or oak are prevalent. A sizable wooden mantle range hood, wood cutouts in valances, and intricate crown and rope molding add authenticity.

Farmhouse: The words “wood” and “heirloom” should guide your decorative decisions when creating a farmhouse kitchen. Stained wood, both light and dark, fit in well, though excessive glazing and finishing can create a look that’s a little too complicated.

Cottage: Consider driftwood-like finishes for a seaside cottage feel. If you’re leaning more toward a lake look, a slightly darker (but still natural and wooden) cabinet is your best bet.

Other country styles: Tuscan Country, Swedish Country, garden

Traditional kitchens have a formal, elegant look characteristic of American and European homes of the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. Expect to see:

* Crown and rope molding, fluting, corbels and other ornamentation and trim
* Cabinets in cherry, walnut and mahogany
* Raised panel cabinet door styles
* Antique fixtures and appliances
* Wood, stone or other natural materials

Victorian: Elegance is the catchword when it comes to Victorian kitchens. Cathedral arch doors and raised panels come into play, accented by ornate molding and trim. Dark and heavy woods are best when it comes to the cabinets.

Italianate: Much like the Victorian style, an Italianate kitchen relies on elegant cabinetry details, especially those of molding and trim. Generally painted cream with intricate raised paneling, these cabinets boast onlays, rope molding, and custom carved reliefs.

Georgian: Formal is the catchword when designing a Georgian kitchen. Look to woods like cherry, walnut and mahogany for your cabinets. Square panel raised doors are typical, as are heavy crown molding and stacked cabinetry that reaches the ceiling. Black accents (such as a painted black island) are not uncommon.
