1. Go for stainless steel. If your budget allows, update your appliances to stainless steel options; they will provide just the right modern touch to a more traditional space. If you’re working on saving toward these big purchases, start small by upgrading your kitchen’s hardware to sleek, contemporary designs.Browse hardware options

9. Direct the eye upward. Choose patterns and visual elements that help to guide the gaze toward the ceiling. The vertical lines of the wall and ceiling boards in this kitchen lend the impression of greater height.

Add interest without chaos. Varied widths of wall boards and two-tone paint add interest to this open and airy kitchen. Rather than breaking up the flow with a tile or stainless backsplash, a clear shield covers the wood behind the stove to protect it. Open shelves over the windows and simple pendant lights keep the space bright.

2. Vintage Glass or Ceramic KnobsVintage-style glass, also referred to as Depression Era glass, is another classic hardware choice for Shaker cabinets. With a stained cabinet finish, it's nice to create some contrast with the hardware by using a white glass knob. Putting knobs on drawers is a great vintage touch, though pulls are more user friendly for everyday use. This type of knob comes with and without a face screw, as well as in a variety of colors, transparent and opaque, as well as clear.

This kitchen is functionally modern, but its style — classic New England beadboard, plain wood floors, Shaker-style cabinets and a farmhouse sink — hark back to colonial times.

The basics: Genuine slate is a metamorphic stone with distinctive properties and excellent performance capabilities. New England slate, which is known for its superior quality, is especially appropriate for kitchen sink use.

Hardware StylesOf course, once you have your cabinets chosen, you have a whole other task ahead of you: choosing hardware. Even if you've got simple Shaker cabinets like these, your choice of drawer pulls and knobs makes a big difference in your finished look.
