What Are the Characteristics of a Classic or Traditional Kitchen Design?

What really classifies a kitchen as traditional or classic is the detailing and use of natural materials. Most surfaces and trim work feature intricate detailing and embellishments like fluting, columns, beadboard, or even a coffered ceiling. Classic or traditional kitchens are exceptionally popular in the Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia areas and can be tweaked to fit any homeowner’s personal taste. Some characteristics of a traditional kitchen include:

  • Natural materials like hardwood and natural stone
  • Glass or open cabinetry and shelving
  • Crown molding
  • Antique or vintage elements
  • Neutral or muted tones
  • More texture and detailing in trim work
  • Intricate handles and knobs
  • Cabinets with recessed or raised panels
  • Rustic or old-world elements like solid, weathered hardwood

Types of Traditional Kitchens

Within the traditional or classic style, there are specific types and looks you may want to go for. Some of these include, but aren’t limited to:

  • Old world formal: Old world formal, or European, kitchens use luxurious wood cabinets like cherry or mahogany and frequently feature marble countertops and coffered ceilings. In these kitchens, you can find chandeliers and brass or crystal fixtures, as well as intricately carved embellishments. This design is typically thought of as impressive, grand, and luxurious.
  • Farmhouse informal: Farmhouse kitchens are a type of rustic traditional kitchen that feature lots of down-home natural wood and unpolished metals. They are frequently rustic and have unpretentious designs, as well as large, deep farmhouse sinks that can hold a lot of dishes after a big family meal. You can always find lots of countertop space in farmhouse kitchens, as well as appliances that can handle cooking for a large amount of people.
  • Cottage kitchen: While farmhouse kitchens can be described as comfortable, cottage kitchens can be described as quaint and cozy. A type of country traditional kitchen, you can usually find scalloped trim work and white cabinets, floral fabrics, and distressed metal or porcelain fixtures in cottage style kitchens. Appliances are frequently antiqued or refurbished, and tables and islands can be vintage or distressed.
