Modern Or Traditional Kitchen Styling?
You’re on the hunt for the perfect new kitchen but you are stuck on which design to go for – do you want modern or traditional kitchen styling?
There are many benefits to both modern and traditional kitchens. Modern gives you that fresh up to date feeling, and traditional often gives you that perfect cosy homely feel.
Modern Kitchens
Modern kitchens will always be incredibly popular. Everyone seems to want that high-tech smart kitchen with sleek designs and cool tones. They look incredible and are often extremely economical and have a lot of qualities. But, who’s to say you can’t have both? A modern kitchen is a great way to have a little corner of your home that is completely new, and fresh with some great colour accents. We often see people daring to be bold when they want a modern kitchen fitted. Is this because they are getting creative with modern features and design, they think why not let’s go all out? When people opt for a modern kitchen they want to make a statement. They want to have all the fun colours and patterns to really get people to say wow! A modern kitchen is also a great way to just completely have a brand-new space. If you have wanted a big change for years, opting for a modern kitchen is a far less safe and much more exciting option.
Appliances, Storage and Worktops:
It’s not new news that the potential and functionalities of a modern kitchen are endless. From SMART taps to LEDs controlled by your phone. Whether it’s for aesthetics or functionality, the modern way really is limitless. Say goodbye to big bulky fridges and freezers and hello to discreetly hidden ones. Wave goodbye to busy handles and welcome in push cupboards and soft closing drawers. It’s simple sleek features like this that make a modern kitchen a firm favourite with our customers.
Even things like a boiling water tap built-in can add a simple but effective feature to the modern style. Even if the functionality of your kitchen is something you would prefer to keep simple, you can include appliances and utensils that will add to the modern design you are creating. Things like opting for a smart modern kettle over the more traditional teapot-style kettles add to the modern aesthetic. And, of course, using bright colours with your utensils are going to add that extra modern design over a more traditional muted tone like cream or wood. Cream and wood will always give more of a traditional look. Worktops are often also a great way to polish off that modern look. Materials like marble, stone, grey and cool tones with a sleek, smooth and glass-like finish will always give more of a modern look and can also become more of a statement in your new modern kitchen.
Traditional Kitchens
After all that, a modern kitchen seems perfect right?
Well, a traditional kitchen has so many benefits and is still increasingly popular with our customers, especially around the beautiful Sussex area we live in. A traditional kitchen holds some of the most beautiful qualities; soft edges, wood accents and subtle cream and neutral tones all add to the perfect traditional homely, timeless kitchen. If you have a more traditional and perhaps even period home and just want to add to that with a kitchen that will keep the theme of your house, a traditional kitchen is a great choice. Simplistic and minimal Shaker Designs are always a hit when creating a traditional kitchen, that will certainly surpass trend after trend and last years. From the storage to the taps, every detail can be an extra added detail to creating that overall traditional look.
Appliances, Storage and Worktops
When it comes to appliances, storage and worktops, for a more traditional style kitchen, it really is all about going for more neutral tones, wood and softer touches. Warm tone lighting, beautifully classic kettles and utensils and big larder doors or even a pantry really scream tradition. Just because it’s traditional doesn’t mean it can’t have some sneaky modern features in there. We are in 2023, so why wouldn’t you utilise some of the best new modern features you can whilst also having that traditional style?
Don’t forget, all those modern features and accessories can still be installed into a traditional kitchen – this is really all about the aesthetic and your choice of styling.
