If you want a kitchen that combines modern and traditional styles, a transitional kitchen is a good option for your next kitchen remodel. This type of kitchen design creates a sleek and relaxed look and offers plenty of storage.
Keep reading to learn more about the key elements of a transitional kitchen from DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno.
Clean Look
You probably want a kitchen that looks neat and clutter-free. A transitional kitchen effectively achieves a neat look because of the prominence of cabinets in their design, letting you keep kitchenware and dinnerware out of sight. You can use architectural lines, neutral finishes, and a simple color palette to create a harmonious look.
Solid Colors
A transitional kitchen combines modern elements with traditional sensibilities. They do away with patterns and stick to single colors. You can use grays and beiges as prominent kitchen colors. Consider using blue as an accent color for your kitchen. Furthermore, add wood tones to bring warmth and a homey feeling to the space.
Adequate Storage
With a transitional kitchen renovation, you must have enough cabinets to store kitchenware and small appliances. You can incorporate cabinetry into a transitional kitchen design by using painted wood or wood-grain cabinets.
Smooth and Low-Maintenance Countertops
Hassle-free countertops with a lustrous look are always part of transitional kitchen designs. Use quartz or quartzite countertops with thick profiles. For your kitchen island, consider using a waterfall countertop so you can have a sophisticated centerpiece.
Paneled Appliances
A transitional kitchen typically uses cabinetry for appliances. You can ask contractors to panel the appliances to achieve a seamless look. Otherwise, go with steel appliances to maintain the kitchen style’s clean aesthetic.
Sophisticated Lighting
You want a kitchen that effectively lights your cooking and dining areas. To distinguish your dining area, you can use statement pieces like pendant lighting above the dining table. Oversized pendants are also a staple in transitional kitchens.
Wood Flooring
Flooring is another crucial component of transitional kitchens. Use deep-hued flooring to bring out a classic kitchen appeal. You can use wood or wood-look flooring or rustic or reclaimed boards. If budget is a concern, your home remodeler may recommend laminate flooring.
