Traditional kitchen design will never go out of style. They are classic, clean and timeless. These beautiful spaces employ calm, neutral colors, streamlined shapes and cool materials to create the perfect kitchen design.
However, they have slightly different accents that make them unique. Which one do you love more? Here we dissect the traditional kitchen and show you two cool ways to have this style of kitchen in your home.
Kitchen A
Kitchen A plays upon contrast, which gives this space edge while still maintaining traditional, timeless style.
Dark brown barstools and accent paint pop against the natural marble countertop of the island, which becomes a focal point of this kitchen. Keeping the perimeter cabinets and walls white lets the style of the island stand out.
This design element is mimicked with the stylish kitchen island lighting, which itself has strong contrast while still keeping that traditional sensibility. The wide pendant from Kichler Lighting fills the space without overwhelming the overall design.
Kitchen B
Unlike the first example, in Kitchen B we have a totally neutral palette that allows this space to feel light and effortless. Here, texture allows the space to be interesting rather than color contrast.
Linen, glass, stone and wood have an interplay of texture that is interesting and enticing. Without this mix a traditional kitchen could fall flat.
Traditional scroll back counter stools open the space up to the rest of the room and allow a completely open kitchen concept, perfect for entertaining.
