The Hallmarks of a True Traditional Kitchen

Much has been said about the merits of a traditional kitchen. However, the definition can vary wildly, which can be confusing if you’re trying to come up with an authentic traditional design. In today’s post, local kitchen remodeling company JLR Home Renovation takes a look at what makes traditional kitchens traditional.

What Is a “Traditional” Kitchen?

The term “traditional” is often confused with buzzwords like “old-world” or “vintage,” but these are just facets of traditional design. Traditional home design celebrates the warmth and classic beauty that has stood the test of time. Elements of traditional style focus on details such as rich woods, ornate moldings and timeless finishing touches. Natural materials, combined with a sense of craftsmanship, completes the overall design.

Key Components of a Traditional Kitchen

Let’s take a look at the components that give a traditional kitchen its unique charm.

Consistency With the Other Rooms

Designing a traditional kitchen means taking other parts of your home into consideration; walking into a traditional kitchen coming from a room with a completely different style can be jarring. Consider having shared elements between adjacent rooms such as common light fixtures, transitionary colors, or the same flooring to create consistency.
