How to Design a Classic Kitchen? Building a brand new kitchen that feels like you’ve been there forever offers the best of both worlds: contemporary needs are met in a comfortable and timeless gathering space suitable for a parade of guests. A kitchen can grow and adapt to changing needs while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere – a balance that most people covet.
Fortunately, this look is called “timeless” for a reason: it is easy to achieve, even with the latest technology. Opting for an efficient arrangement of high-quality basic products surrounded by plenty of storage space will advance this kitchen.
IKEA
Durable materials and established designs should be the foundation of this kitchen. Fortunately, you can turn to IKEA for everything you need to design one that will stand up to years of fantasy and style.
Classic cuisine has to withstand a lot, but you can still make room for timeless, artisan-style details that add warmth. Personalization is key when you need life-saving countertops and cabinets but still want smart details.
“Even traditional cuisine can look updated with the smart choice of color,” says Viola Mushkudiani, senior IKEA interior design manager. “Use brighter or trendy colors on kitchen doors, walls and finishes to create a transitional look.”
Laminate worktops
Laminate worktops are durable and polished and often come in a gradient of shades. They are easy to maintain, clean at all costs and show no wear and tear as natural stone does. In addition, while affordable, today’s laminate surfaces can mimic the look and feel of stone or quartz.
Cabinetry
An ultra-versatile and modular cabinet system will allow you to meet your specific needs and/or your family. Look for a mix of low and high storage so you can keep everyday tools and less frequently used items close at hand. Simple Shaker facades with a bevelled design will blend in perfectly or present a special set of dishes with a style that includes glass. Try a multi-pronged option for larger cabinets or a quaint crossbar pattern for smaller ones.
For easy storage of your countertop kitchen utensils – food processors, toasters, and instant jars can add up – a cabinet at the counter level can be shaped from a horizontal wall cabinet, hinged at the top. Close the shop, and it’s like a clean slate until the next use.
Secular keys, high
Gas cooking is as classic as possible, and a built-in stove fits the surrounding cabinets, suitable for all kitchen sizes. The cast-iron grates that can be removed and cleaned, along with the upward-facing knobs, are contemporary improvements to the simple design.
An antique brass-coloured tap with a high spout hugs the past and the present. Look for one with a contrasting handle in an elegant cone to enhance the vintage feel.
