Traditional Kitchen Design

A traditional kitchen offers timeless design influences and is the most stately of kitchen styles. It adds a sophisticated and cozy feeling while including all the modern amenities.

The classic look of the traditional kitchen design is created from the elegant details and embellishments-think raised panel cabinet doors, generous crown molding, and decorative carved accents.

A classic kitchen often features a warm, inviting color palette for a sense of familiarity. Traditional kitchen cabinets can be rich, deep stained or neutrally painted. A traditional kitchen opts for natural materials and matte finishes over glossy, manmade materials. The countertops of traditional kitchens are often granite, marble, or soapstone, with hardwood or terra cotta, slate, or limestone tile flooring. Bronze, nickel, or pewter hardware are popular choices in traditional kitchen designs.

Symmetry and balance are necessary when designing a traditional kitchen. Furniture-style legs, corbels, and other decorative enhancements on the kitchen island can elevate a classic kitchen. Ornate tile shapes and more complex patterns for the backsplash add even more character to traditional kitchens.

Traditional kitchen designs are known for adding a sense of heritage with their old-world design influences. For a traditional kitchen design, think of a Tuscan retreat, rustic farmhouse, or 19th-century English estate.
