A contemporary home needs a contemporary kitchen, but what exactly do you need to keep in mind to get one?
First things first, let’s define what contemporary style means.
Contemporary doesn’t necessarily mean modern; it simply stands for the current prevalent trends in design and decor.
As a contemporary kitchen can blend various styles together, you can effortlessly mix and match all your favorite design elements.
You don’t have to live in the countryside to have a warm, cozy and rustic feeling in your home.
In fact, there are many simple elements with which you can achieve a vintage farmhouse look even if you own an apartment in a bustling city: natural materials such as wood or stone, shiplap walls, exposed beams and artificially distressed furniture can all contribute to the rustic look that more and more homeowners are seeking.
Sometimes all you need to do is go to a flea market or a vintage sale to find your ideal furniture, but other times you may not be able to find the perfect pieces for your dream home.
That’s when we come into the picture to offer you premium quality rustic style kitchen cabinets.
Intriguing details and old time elegance – that’s just one way to describe traditional-style kitchen furniture.
If you’ve ever stepped into a traditional kitchen, you know exactly how charming and exclusive those beautiful carved cabinets, arches and rich wood tones can look.
No wonder that in spite of the rising popularity of transitional and contemporary kitchens, many homeowners still favor traditional design.
“Traditional” in this sense doesn’t mean that your home has to look like an flashy 18th century French mansion; in fact, behind all those details and ornaments in traditional-style kitchens lies functionality and a sort of purity.
Let’s dive into why traditional kitchen cabinets can be a perfect choice even for modern homes!
Transitional style has been the most popular kitchen design trend in recent years, and it’s expected to remain so in the upcoming years too.
Looking at this cozy transitional kitchen in the picture above, it is no wonder why: the elegant, modest Shaker cabinets are in a spectacular contrast with the kitchen island’s splash of deep green color, and the glossy white surface of the waterfall countertop.
All this is topped off with a refined mosaic backsplash and modern lighting fixtures to create a stylish ambivalence that’s traditional, but at the same time contemporary.
The greatest thing about transitional style kitchens is that they leave you plenty of room for experimenting with new colors, textures and ideas, so you don’t need to pigeonhole your kitchen as being one definite style.
Even though all transitional kitchens are different - basically it’s almost impossible to create two identical transitional kitchens – there are certain elements that all these kitchens might have in common.
So, let’s see what sets them apart from traditional and contemporary kitchens.
