Traditional kitchens can often be mistaken for country or old-world designs, but there’s an indescribable quality about them that makes them all the more appealing.
It can be difficult to choose one particular kitchen design style. That’s why many homeowners opt for transitional kitchens– they’re a comfortable mix of styles and make it easy to experiment with decorating.
Transitional kitchens are a mix of traditional and contemporary design, but the look is less ornate than the traditional style and more streamlined than contemporary kitchens. They usually have clean lines, simple cabinetry with no fancy details, and mixing textures and finishes.
- Doors – Simple Shaker style with clean lines and timeless look.
- Cup pulls, small knobs and smooth-handled cabinets are all a better match for your kitchen than intricate hardware.
- Countertop edges -This is a small detail that makes a big difference—choose edges that are eased or simple, instead of elaborate styles.
- When it comes to countertop materials, the look of a transitional kitchen is one of simple, neutral colors and materials. Marble, granite, quartz, and wood are all popular choices.
Once you have the basics figured out, you can have fun playing around with your kitchen’s decor to create the look you want. These ideas work beautifully in a transitional kitchen.
