How To Put A Modern Twist On A Traditional Kitchen

How to Put a Modern Twist on a Traditional Kitchen

Contemporary designs dominate the market, but traditional kitchens remain appealing. Many homeowners merge traditional and modern kitchen designs. The result is a transitional kitchen that offers new, interesting looks and a wide range of choices.

Homeowners seeking flexible kitchen styles will love transitional kitchens. If this sounds appealing, read on for tips on modernizing a traditional kitchen.

What is a Traditional Kitchen?

Traditional kitchens use natural materials like wood and stone for a warm, neutral setting. Traditional kitchen doors feature ornamental, intricate designs with raised or recessed central panels.

How Do You Add a Modern Twist?

Shaker kitchen doors, known for their recessed panels, blend traditional and contemporary styles. Modern kitchen companies like Finchley Kitchens streamline Shaker doors for a modern look, retaining the classic panel design.

Go for Modern Colors

Adding modern colors is an easy way to update your traditional kitchen. Fresh paint or bold wallpaper can transform the room. If you prefer temporary changes, consider colorful splashbacks, stools, or utensils.

Make Your Appliances Work for the Space

Modern appliances can enhance a traditional kitchen. Stainless steel fridge-freezers, LED spotlights, and bold-colored range cookers can add a high-tech touch. For a traditional look with modern functionality, choose stylish appliances from brands like Neff and Quooker.

Choose slim worktops

Chunky worktops are a popular choice for traditional kitchens. If you want a modern twist, then opt for a slimmer worktop. They are available in height from as thin as 10mm! Traditional worktop materials such as granite or marble will work for modern kitchens too, although you can also go for other options such as quartz or Corian.  Just stay with the paler tone worktop colours and keep the edges simple.
