What is Traditional Style?

Traditional kitchen design draws inspiration from classic European and American styles, emphasizing comfort, warmth, and time-honored craftsmanship. This style celebrates rich materials, detailed woodwork, and elegant proportions.

Traditional kitchens create spaces that feel established and permanent, with design elements that have proven their beauty and functionality over generations.

Design Philosophy

The traditional approach values craftsmanship, quality materials, and attention to detail. Symmetry, proportion, and formal balance create harmonious spaces that feel both elegant and comfortable.

It's about creating kitchens that serve as the heart of the home, where families gather and memories are made, surrounded by beautiful, well-made elements that improve with age.

Color & Materials

Traditional kitchens feature warm, rich color palettes – creams, deep blues, forest greens, and warm whites. Natural materials like solid wood, marble, granite, and ceramic tiles are preferred.

Finishes tend to be classic and substantial, with oil-rubbed bronze, brushed brass, or polished chrome hardware that feels weighty and well-made.
