Come and give me some KITCHEN inspiration

We're - finally - hoping to start work on our new kitchen extension next year and alongside all the more boring planning regs, etc, I'd like to start getting a bit excited about the finished room.

The problem is, I just can't seem to think of a style of kitchen that would suit the house.

When it's finished it should be a decent sized room: approx 6.5m long by 3.8m wide (21ft long by 12ft wide) - but I just don't know what to put in it.

Here's the problem. It's a late 60s/early 70s house. Boxy, angular. But the location is fairly rural - a leafy, largely unmade country lane.

I don't want anything country kitcheny styley like this as I don't think it goes with the house

On the other hand, I don't want anything with an urbany feel like this

Is there a middle ground?

The rest of the house is going to in my dreams have a mid-century feel. The only thing it has to have (besides fridge, oven, sink, cupboards) is a decent sized table for which I'd happily forfeit an island unit.

Any of you lovely vipers care to give me some desperately needed inspiration?

Mrs Jasmin - I like the layout of your pic. It keeps the 'worky bits' and the 'eaty bits' well separated.

I'm probably going to out myself but here's my pintrest board I created over a few years running up to designing my kitchen diner. I went with iroko worktops, grey shaker cupboards, stainless steel sink, open shelving and clear glass splashback in the end.

Try this site it gives you the chance to search by the style so if you only want to see traditional kitchens that is all you see - I think it is amazing and love this one!!

My ideal small kitchen design looks like this. The color is bright, looks modern, but still feels cozy somehow. My cleaner said that her kitchen is yellow and it always looks clean, no finger prints and water drops can be noticed on the cabinet doors.
