Traditional Kitchen Design Ideas

Traditional-style kitchens date back to the 18th century. It refers to a group that immigrated to America from the United Kingdom. The Shakers became renowned for their simple living, architecture, technological innovation, and furniture. As they spread across New England, they began to manufacture handcrafted, high-quality “shaker style” furniture, including what is today known as traditional cabinets.

The foundation of this style is durability and simplicity. Here are some suggestions if you are considering this traditional kitchen design for your home.

 

Traditional Cabinets

 

Traditional cabinets are appealing because they can be combined with the look of other rooms in your home and your kitchen. Traditional cabinets are made of woods such as maple, birch, or chestnut and typically include less detail. Cabinets with less detail can be a money saver compared to more detailed cabinet styles found in more complex kitchen designs. A signature feature of traditional cabinets is their perfectly square corners.

 

Traditional Countertops

 

Traditional countertops, traditionally made of light-colored wood, can vary using elements of other countertop styles like blended colors and quartz. Traditional countertops work well for your kitchen island and the outlining countertops. Popular colors for traditional countertops are white, eggshell, ivory, or gray.

 

Traditional Faucets

 

 

 

Traditional faucet styles are usually standard single-nozzle faucets. There is an option for an additional water filter option if you prefer. Traditional faucets have limited options compared to other faucet designs, but a traditional-style faucet is a more cost-effective option.

 

Traditional Appliances

 

Traditional-style appliances provide the benefit of cost-effectiveness while matching the minimalist style of your traditional kitchen. A basic two-door refrigerator/freezer and a gas or electric oven are common appliances that complement a traditional-style kitchen. The potential money savings will allow funds left in your budget to choose other appliances according to your preference and needs.
