Kitchens are a unique space in our homes, and they play a unique (and prominent) role in our lives. By definition and tradition, the space is function-centered – food is prepared and cooked in the kitchen. But modern kitchens are so much more than a food prep zone. They are the heart of the home, full of life and warmth and interaction.
Traditional components: Farmhouse (apron) kitchen sink with traditional-style faucet, simple white cabinetry faces. Also the legged wooden island with wood paneling is a lovely traditional touch.
Contemporary components: Modern blinds window treatment (and the absence of colored textiles that would’ve comprised a shade or valance), stainless steel accents, and marble countertops are contemporary additions to this huge space.
Traditional kitchens are work-focused and incorporate basic materials in their designs. Contemporary kitchens tend to be sleek and refined and stylish. It’s a lovely kitchen that incorporates the best of both worlds within its proverbial walls.
Traditional components: Oversized wood beams. These constitute quite a large visual aspect of this contemporary kitchen, due to their chunkiness and rustic nature.
Contemporary components: The variety of color and texture here, which adds a modern feel to almost anything traditional. The cobalt blue cupboard under the island, stemware visible in open shelving, and round drawer pulls are all facets of this modern kitchen.
Traditional components: Plaid fabric, window shade, and mouldings. Mouldings everywhere! At the top, middle, and bottoms of cabinetry.
Contemporary components: Large kitchen space, oversized island with sink, beautiful chandelier amid the recessed lights.-
