Traditional Kitchen Ideas

At once homey and elegant, familiar and stylish, traditional kitchens are perfect for creating a welcoming space to gather over food. Characterized by whites and light colors, rich detailing and floral patterns, this classic look is ideal whether you’re entertaining or cooking casual family dinners. While you browse our extensive photo gallery below, consider the following traditional kitchen ideas to incorporate in your home.

You Can’t Go Wrong with White

White cabinets are timeless and are sure to keep you content for years to come (not to mention future buyers). For a versatile transitional look, opt for a crisp white finish; for a bit of French country flair, opt for creamy white cabinets.

Create a Focal Point with Your Backsplash

Backsplashes are the perfect spot to add a touch of unique style to your classic kitchen. Even in a traditional space, you’ve got a number of options, from glossy white subway tile to luxurious slab marble. You can even create an inset space or decorate with a mosaic pattern.

Personalize Your Cabinets

Don’t shy away from decorative embellishments. To give your kitchen a personal touch, you’ll want to buy traditional kitchen cabinets with exquisite detail and decoration. Look for those with glass panels, carved elements or crown molding.

Mix and Match Marble and Wood

Traditional design is all about layering textures, colors and patterns for a rich, accumulated look. So don’t be too concerned about making all of your countertops the same material. Marble or quartz counters look gorgeous paired with a wooden butcher block kitchen island.

Create a Soft Palette

Even traditional white kitchens can benefit from a touch of color here and there. Choose decor in light blues, greens and yellows to keep that bright and airy feeling going.

Choose Light Fixtures with Old-Fashioned Style

Avoid too much recessed lighting and opt instead to illuminate the space with elegant light fixtures. Choose vintage-style lanterns for their old-fashioned appeal, or liven up the space with chic pendant lights.
