How To Create A Traditional Kitchen

While modern designs are undoubtedly super popular,there are many homeowners who still yearn for a simple, classic and traditional look. 

With just a few small changes, you can transform your space from standard and suburban to rural country idyll - and it can start when you explore in our online shop for traditional kitchen doors. Here are a few of our top tips to bring tradition to your home, and still retain a super chic edge.

• Glass Front Cabinets

Glass front cabinets are an important element in many traditional and farmhouse kitchens, where they are transformed from mere storage to elements in their own right - you can show off the stunning glass, and make sure that every part of your kitchen is working to meet that stylish, soothing aesthetic.

• Keep It Natural

Traditional kitchens also tend to use a fairly natural, neutral colour palette, with colours such as beige, brown and white to keep things calm, simple and neutral. Once you have your colour palette, you can use it to choose the different elements of your kitchen.

• Beautiful Backsplash

Adding a backsplash to your kitchen is always a good idea, as it helps to protect the walls. Used correctly, they can also help to enhance your chosen style - tiled backsplashes help maintain that classic, traditional vibe.

• Bring The Outdoors In

One of the major factors in creating a traditional style kitchen is bringing the outdoors inside - this can be achieved with wide windows, plenty of light, and a plethora of house plants to make you feel like you are out in nature, while sipping tea safely in your own kitchen! You can also use natural materials such as wood to create those natural vibes, while helping to enhance a traditional, farmhouse vibe.

• Create A Focal Point

The kitchen is the heart of the home, so make the most of this by creating a heart of the kitchen - something which is really in the centre, and from which everything else is built and designed. This could be an old, traditional, farmhouse table, a heartwarming hearth or Aga, or a set of cosy, stylish cabinets, complete with traditional handles and details. This draws the eye in, and helps to set the mood and tone for the rest of the room.

• Make The Most Of Patterns

Patterns are a must in a traditional kitchen - in many cases, the more the better! Sticking to neutral, simple shades for your main colour palette gives you more freedom with patterns - you can add a jaunty tablecloth or some cute curtains, use stylish, patterned tableware or tea towels, or opt for some quirky oven gloves to display. A traditional style is all about comfort, so make sure that you have everything you need to help you feel calm, relaxed and at home - part of the appeal of traditional style is that it is never perfect, so you can really put your own stamp on things, and bring your personal style into the space.
