Traditional Kitchen
Modern, Contemporary or Traditional Kitchens Styles to Suit Any Home
Three of the most popular kitchen styles, modern, contemporary and traditional fit most homeowners’ ideas of a kitchen that is as functional as it is attractive. Before choosing a kitchen style, decide which overall style is most pervasive throughout the home. Generally, this style will prevail in the kitchen as well.
Modern and Contemporary Kitchen Styles
Modern and Contemporary kitchen styles are based around cabinets, appliances and furniture that have gained the most popularity, present a “wide-open” airy environment and are notable for their quick and easy maintenance. For example, modern kitchen styles have gravitated to larger appliances like cook tops with dual surfaces for cooking and grilling as well as larger telescoping faucets for the kitchen sink.
The detail in modern and contemporary kitchens is accented with bright chrome fixtures as well as white or eggshell cabinets. The refrigerator and freezer combination might be equipped with an ice maker and have an exterior in brushed stainless steel or chrome. Smaller appliances like toasters, toaster ovens and all-purpose mixers coordinate with these larger appliances. Lighting in a modern kitchen would be recessed, often covering the entire ceiling for added light. In a modern or contemporary kitchen style, there is an overall sense of ultra-simplicity that is comfortable and attractive.
Traditional Kitchens
In the style of traditional kitchens, there are several types to choose from: “Country”, “Provincial” or “Rustic”, all of which expand the homeowner’s ability to personalize their kitchen to suit their needs. Country kitchens resemble in many ways, a “farmhouse” style. Cabinets can be painted in bright red or deep navy and accented with ceramic pulls. Oak does well in this kitchen.
Large appliances as well as small fit this traditional style. Country style kitchens fairly shout, “Comfort” in the casual atmosphere it establishes. Provincial kitchens borrow the country look, though with a more ornate detail in furniture and cabinets where woods tend to be dark and accented with antiqued brass. A Rustic kitchen has a style that coordinates well with rattan furniture or simple Shaker-style cabinets.
The mood in a rustic kitchen is achieved by pairing plain wood styling with a “back porch” look often seen in western country homes. A rustic kitchen has an unmistakable “outdoor” appeal brought right into the kitchen. Add in an old fashioned cook stove that has been modernized, a sink with an underskirt, several plain wood cabinets with either glass or tin panels and the rustic look is complete. This is one style that allows a lot of freedom to add the type of kitchen furniture that might be found in a log cabin. The decor of this kitchen makes it serviceable and easy to maintain. Plain, flat surfaces without ornate designs makes this kitchen that fits any family’s needs.
Choosing the Right Style Kitchen
When choosing styles for a kitchen, creating the most appropriate design that will be durable enough for the busiest room in the house is the most enjoyable part of planning personal kitchen atmosphere. Other touches like coordinating curtains and table linens complete the style for maximum appeal.
