A kitchen can be considered timeless when it can stand the test of time, functionally and stylistically. In this blog, kitchen contractor DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Lakes takes a look at what makes timeless kitchens timeless, and how you can achieve one in your home.
What Is a Timeless Kitchen?
Have you ever stepped into a kitchen and it gave you the impression that it’s stuck in the past — that it needed to be brought into the 21st century? That is the complete opposite of a timeless kitchen. At its core, timeless kitchens do not look outdated even after a long time has passed. They’re easy to maintain, able to accommodate changes in lifestyle over time, and strikes a good balance between aesthetics and function.
A timeless kitchen has time-tested elements that never go out of style. Neutral colors, natural materials and traditional shapes are some of its key visual components. The use of modern finishes and subtle accents can also help create an inviting space that doesn’t look dated. Efficient storage is emphasized with smart use of vertical space. Ergonomic layouts allow natural flow between workstations that ease movement around the kitchen.
Designing a Timeless Kitchen
During planning, you and your kitchen remodeler have to consider how your kitchen will work with the overall aesthetic of your home — unless you are planning for a full-home interior remodel. Take into account the color palette, materials and finishes that are already in your home so that you can choose kitchen elements that can blend seamlessly with them.
Here are some tips on achieving a timeless look in your kitchen:
- Color palette. Choose neutral colors like white, cream or gray as they won’t go out of style. You can use decor to color and change them over time, as appropriate.
- Cabinets. Stick to cabinets with traditional shapes and simple designs. Choose real wood over particle boards and laminates for durability, and if you’re after a natural wood finish.
- Countertops. Natural stone countertops such as granite or marble will never go out of style. Manufactured or cultured stone countertops are also great if you want low-maintenance options.
- Appliances. Stainless steel appliances work in any kitchen style, but don’t rule out options like matte black. Like neutral colors, they don’t go out of style and will fit any color palette.
