New trends come and go every day, but if you’re a classicist, investing in a traditional kitchen that unites timeless decorative details and easy functionality is a no-brainer. The elegant aesthetic may look simple, but every element is carefully considered. In a traditional kitchen, the cabinets feature stylish glass fronts or touches of ornate molding, the pendant lights are architectural statements, and the countertop is crafted of the most luxurious stone or dark-stained wood. Together, these details create a warm, cozy hub of the home that also happens to be sophisticated and streamlined. Here, we’ve selected the top contenders from the AD archives.

A traditional kitchen is the heart of the home, a warm, welcoming space that is not only for cooking but also for entertaining, relaxing and even working. Therefore, it is vital to ensure that you get its design just right, both from an aesthetic and layout point of view.
There is no standard template for a traditional kitchen – however, your personality and unique style are both integral to its design. Be sure, though, that it will feature plenty of natural materials, a social space to gather and accessories to make it feel loved and lived in. These kitchen ideas will help you create a period space of your dreams.
Traditional kitchen ideas
Traditional kitchen ideas incorporate lots of warm, natural materials, such as real wood cabinetry and work surfaces. Cabinetry might well be painted in a soft, muted color, such as cream, taupe or gray – although more contemporary takes are often more brightly colored. Door furniture on cabinetry tends to have a traditional look and might be in hammered metal or tarnished copper. Traditional kitchens often include butler or Belfast sinks, ornate faucets and range ovens.
Your kitchen may complement other traditional decorating ideas in your home, or stand alone as a classic centerpiece to your family life.
1. Focus on the details
(Image credit: Ivy House Design / Kacey Gilpin)
With traditional kitchen ideas, the parts really do make the whole.
'In a traditional kitchen, the most important aspect is the small details, especially when we’re looking at the cabinet fronts and the color scheme,' explains Hanieh Pace, founder Ivy House Interiors .
'Typically, I like to use light and airy when it comes to traditional kitchens. A lot of my clients love white but with this one we wanted a pop of detail, which was the blue island.' If blue isn't your choice, then there are countless island paint color ideas to bring your space to life.
'The cabinet moldings lean more traditional. It’s not heavy but it’s also not flat. With the hardware, the polished nickel is always a timeless material to use throughout.'
2. Look to the past for inspiration
(Image credit: Nicole Michael Designs / Lauren Pressey)
The beauty of traditional-style kitchens is that they are inspired by the aesthetics of the past but function perfectly for today.
'Historically, the kitchen has always been a room with the sole function of food preparation. For this reason, the classic kitchen was rarely extravagantly decorated, or even finished with beauty in mind. Instead, function lay at the heart of good, plain kitchen design,' explains Rebecca Noakes, Head of Design & Brand Creative, John Lewis of Hungerford .
'This doesn’t mean that your traditional-inspired kitchen needs to abandon aesthetics altogether. Instead, take this tradition and transform it into a beautiful design feature.
'Practical touches, like open shelving and hanging storage, can add both function and a certain charm to kitchen design. Exposed cookware and culinary equipment, when curated with care, creates a warm and welcoming look and feel.'
This kitchen, created by Pasadena-based Nicole Michael Designs , exemplifies the look.

Originally used as food preparation spaces for cooks and servants in the kitchens of historic homes, kitchen islands can serve a multitude of functions today, while still evoking traditional charm.
'Just as they were once the traditional hub for kneading bread, chopping vegetables, or making jam, modern kitchen islands are now a hub for family life,' suggests Rebecca Noakes, Head of Design & Brand Creative at kitchen design company, John Lewis of Hungerford.
'These are surfaces to gather around, whether that’s for a quick breakfast, a chat and a cup of tea, a homework session, or a glass of wine while dinner’s cooking.'
4. Major on natural materials
(Image credit: John Lewis of Hungerford)
The harmonious combination of expert craftsmanship, functionality and classic design make the traditional style an obvious choice when renovating your kitchen.
'Traditional kitchens have always been fashionable, and their endless appeal lies in the warmth and character this aesthetic instantly gives to any home,' says Rebecca Noakes from John Lewis of Hungerford.
'To get that traditional kitchen feel, the use of natural materials is really important – think wooden countertops or beautiful stone flooring. Color-wise, go for warming, natural colour palettes or opt for traditional white kitchen ideas.
Designing a traditional-style kitchen is all about selecting honest, natural materials and pairing them with simple finishes.'
5. Invest in a range cooker
(Image credit: Emily Davis Interiors / Kacey Gilpin )
Range cookers can be considered the jewel of a kitchen because they instantly bring a traditional feel to your space. A range cooker will not only communicate a functional yet straightforward aesthetic, but also serve as a workhorse in your daily cooking adventures.
If energy costs are a concern, take heart in knowing that cast iron ranges don’t need to be on all the time these days; newer models come in various formats that include energy-saving features, such as state of the art induction hobs and fan ovens. There are also lots of sustainable kitchen ideas that will help you to ensure that the kitchen of your dreams doesn't cost the earth.
6. Update the traditional farmhouse look
(Image credit: Studio Surface / Jenni Corti)
While farmhouse kitchen ideas could be considered the most traditional of kitchen design schemes, the look doesn't have to be stuck in the past – as Michelle Salz-Smith of California design firm, Studio Surface .
'In this property, the kitchen became the focal point of the home's great room, which includes a dining space with custom wood shelves floating across the back windows and a living area with a 20-foot-tall, split-face stone fireplace.
'On the back side, a butler’s pantry contains a sink for prep work and provides more countertop work surface as well as more storage space, all of which opens to the outside gardens via a Dutch door.
'We didn't want the ubiquitous "modern farmhouse" white kitchen, so opted for a complex sage-y taupe on the cabinets that shifts throughout the day. It couples nicely with the honed Caldia marble, bronze hardware and wood accents.'
As a balance between all-white and a green scheme, why not try both, as in these green and white kitchen ideas.
7. Fit appliances beautifully
(Image credit: Harvey Jones)
Built-in and bespoke cabinetry is the best way to incorporate large appliances into a traditional kitchen scheme.
'Bulky good such as refrigerators and freezers can dominate a traditional kitchen if not fully integrated into the overall design plan,' agrees Andrea Childs, Editor of Country Homes & Interiors magazine.
'Consider building out cupboards to surround the appliance, especially if choosing not to hide it behind cabinet doors.
8. Pair colored cabinets with rustic furniture
(Image credit: liam clarke)
Painted kitchen cabinet ideas are a great way of imbuing your traditional kitchen with unique personality. When paired with a rustic oak table and chairs, it also serves to give a contemporary twist to farmhouse kitchen ideas and design.
If your cabinets are in good condition but you want to give them a new lease of life – or change your color scheme – painting kitchen cabinets is an easy project.
'With a partner on hand to help and no interruptions, kitchen cabinets can be revamped in a weekend,' suggests designer and chalk-paint expert Annie Sloan .
9. Use contrasting colors to make your island stand out
(Image credit: Colin Poole)
Color blocking is on-trend at the moment and if you use it correctly, it will add a contemporary flair to a traditional design.
Your island is focal point of a traditional kitchen, so make it stand out. Try painting your kitchen island in a contrasting color to your base cabinets as an easy way to to add interest and depth to your space.
If you're unsure which colors to choose, using the color wheel provides a helpful guide to which shades will work. For a traditional kitchen scheme, choose matt hues in heritage tones such as this berry and mint combination.
10. Put a range cooker in pride of place
(Image credit: everhot)
A range cooker is the essential heart of any traditional kitchen but often carrying a high price tag, this is not an impulse purchase.
When it comes to adding new pieces to your home, Graham Duke of range cooker company Everhot advises homeowners follow the old adage of 'buy once and buy well'.
11. Consider materials when buying new
(Image credit: Neptune)
When combining traditional and contemporary elements in a kitchen, it’s important to ensure that they harmonize well in order to prevent the space feeling disjointed. To prevent this, be mindful of the materials you choose.
‘A modern kitchen will feel so much more at home in a traditional house if it's made from proper timber – it will still retain its up-to-date aesthetic but will have a sense of lasting solidity that reflects the building itself,' advises Fred Horlock, head of store design, Neptune .
12. Incorporate marble for a luxe look
(Image credit: Perrin & Rowe)
A pared-back design allows statement materials to shine through. Here, cabinetry painted in a beautiful soft blue offsets the magnificent marble backsplash and countertop. The scheme is perfectly complemented with a traditional butler’s sink, while Perrin & Rowe’s Athenian mixer tap in aged brass with porcelain handles adds a warm accent.
If marble isn't for you, you can still bring a luxe look to your kitchen countertop ideas with stone, granite or composite materials. In fact, the best kitchen countertop materials include all of these.
13. Use wallpaper to layer a traditional kitchen
(Image credit: Woodchip & Magnolia)
While hanging wallpaper in the kitchen was once an unconventional choice, it's become a firm favorite in both contemporary and traditional kitchens as an easy way to update your space. Playful prints will also bring charm to any country wallpaper ideas for kitchens.
Nina Tarnowski founder of wallpaper designer Woodchip & Magnolia , suggests 'transforming an outdated kitchen by introducing an eye-catching patterned wallpaper. Avoid anything too overpowering. A charming print in calming shades such as taupe, off-white or blush will give an instant and affordable refresh to tired walls, while keeping the space light and airy.'
14. Include a traditional butler's sink
(Image credit: Villeroy & Boch)
Kitchen sink ideas can be used to set the tone of a traditional kitchen. The timeless design of a butler's sink makes it a veritable traditional kitchen icon. Originally designed for use by the staff in grand households, they are renowned for their durability, elegant looks and generous size. We love this double-bowl butler sink with patterned exterior from Villeroy & Boch .
While you wouldn't generally use a butler's in a bathroom, a deep porcelain basin is also a key element of traditional bathroom ideas.
15. Pick a bold color for a contemporary twist
(Image credit: John Lewis of Hungerford)
The simple squared panel style of Shaker cabinetry is one that suits almost any kitchen. Painted in a deep forest green shade and paired with oak worktops and brass accessories, this design by John Lewis of Hungerford creates a warm and cozy heart for a Victorian home.
If you want to explore green kitchen ideas but you are searching for a paler shade, olive, mint, sage and apple may suit you better.
16. Choose a traditional kitchen dresser
(Image credit: Sustainable Kitchens)
The humble dresser started life as a practical kitchen storage solution, but has now become a statement piece for a classic kitchen. Mirroring the elegant style of the room’s cabinetry, this dresser from Sustainable Kitchens features large glazed doors to show off crockery and cookware, transforming storage into décor.
17. Choose a farmhouse table
(Image credit: Sanderson Design Group)
Prioritizing flexibility and practicality, and brimming with warmth and character, the farmhouse look takes inspiration from centuries of kitchen designs. Covering the walls with a heritage print in a warming colour lends a homely feel to the space.
Ben Pentreath’s recoloration of William Morris’ designs sees the Willow Bough wallpaper given a new life in Tomato and Olive. Its red hue brings out the rich tones of the wooden furniture, while mismatched fabrics, also from the collection, give a laid-back look to upholstered chair seats.
18. Don't overlook lighting
(Image credit: Industville)
When you are redesigning your cookspace, kitchen lighting ideas can often get overlooked. However, effective illumination is critical to both the atmosphere and functionality of a space.
An industrial metal pendant, such as the Brooklyn flat light in a pewter or copper finish from Industville makes a striking feature over an island or dining table, and adds to the authentic personality of the space .
19. Create a bright and airy space with patio doors
(Image credit: herringbone kitchen)
Small, dark kitchens are often the curse of traditional homes. However, adding patio doors floods the room with light, while positioning your kitchen island facing towards the back yard provides an ever-changing view while cooking.
Pick a nature-inspired shade for cabinetry to create harmony between the outside and in. This kitchen is by Herringbone .
20. Create an eat-in kitchen
(Image credit: VSP Interiors)
Traditional kitchens in homes always had the dining table at the center and this is something you can easily recreate to create a homey, inviting feel. This type of kitchen layout idea is particularly useful in smaller rooms, since the kitchen table can double up as prep space, too.
In this kitchen by Henriette von Stockhausen of VSP Interiors , which specializes in decorating traditional interiors, the dresser is given priority, too, with practical cookware kept behind closed doors and prettier china and cookware on display behind the doors.
What is traditional kitchen style?
Traditional kitchen ideas are informed by the kitchens and pantries of the past. Think solid wood framed cabinets, stone or wooden countertops and flooring, and details such as coving and molding.
'Solidity and functionality are key, but with a level of design and craftmanship that speaks to the skills of the past,' says Andrea Childs, Editor of Country Homes & Interiors magazine.
How can I make my kitchen look traditional?
Even in a modern house, a kitchen can be given a more traditional look. Painted cupboards, thick wood countertops, brass or ironwork handles and knobs, will all help to create the look.
'How you accessorize is also key,' says Andrea Childs. 'Think about adding a dresser or open shelves and displaying vintage china or copper pans to give a traditional look.'

TOP-5 popular colors for kitchen and dining room decoration
The design of kitchens in apartments in the photo below in different colors, which are now in trend, will show you which shades are now at the peak of popularity. Looking closely at them, remember that you can add color accents to almost any interior, and here we are primarily considering background shades, the base for the entire interior. Italian cuisine often has colored or gold/black accents.
Grey-beige monochrome: for neoclassical interiors
This color scheme is great for neoclassical, Scandinavian and modern interior styles. A beige kitchen in a monochrome palette paired with gray is currently the most relevant design solution. Initially, this gamma is neutral, light, visually relaxing. It is great for the design of a kitchen combined with a living room, or a small kitchen. At the same time, gray tones add an urban mood, while warm beiges create a cozy atmosphere. This palette looks best in neoclassical, but in Scandinavian, modern, and sometimes minimalism, it can also be successfully used.
Beige-brown aesthetics: a cozy family tandem
This color palette is perfect for all interiors in traditional styles: neoclassical, country, English, Scandinavian, classic and sometimes art deco. The design of a brown kitchen in an apartment usually has partially wooden elements: headset modules, a dining room, a parquet floor. Fully wooden brown kitchens in a natural shade remained only in such styles as country, chalet, and in light colors - in the classics. Beige and brown kitchens are one of the hottest trends in interior design and a great family decorating solution. At the same time, white, gray, gold or any natural shades (olive, pale yellow, for example) can be added to this tandem.
Chocolate and coffee dessert: fashion for dark interiors
This luxurious color scheme looks great in a classic interior, English and art deco. Just as often it can be seen in interiors with minimalist headsets. The design of the kitchen combined with the living room in rich luxury interiors often has such a palette, especially in the design of country houses. And the chocolate-coffee range is also liked by those who have always gravitated towards the warmth of natural wood. Chocolate and coffee kitchens can have a beige or gray background and look great using multiple materials (marble + wood + gloss + tinted glass). True, such a palette can only be advised to owners of spacious rooms with good natural light. And do not forget about the importance of built-in lighting.
Black and white contrast: modern chic for your kitchen
The contrast of black and white can be found in many styles of interior design. The design of the black kitchen in the apartment is more typical for minimalism and art deco, and the design of the white kitchen is more typical for minimalism, neoclassicism and Scandinavian style. Black and white interiors are very photogenic, and in everyday life they always look neat, restrained, minimalistic, regardless of the chosen style. True, you need to be careful with accents here: as a rule, bright and natural tones simply do not fit here, because silver, gold, or one deep shade (emerald, plum, dark blue) become accents.
A magical trio of aesthetics: brown, white and black
More complex color combinations, where three or four shades at once play a leading role in the interior, are often found in minimalism, loft, modern style, contemporary and eclectic. This palette can be recommended for spacious interiors that you want to make a little futuristic, eclectic, interesting and original. A wide variety of accents (gold, gloss, highlights, color accents) are perfect here. This range can be advised to those who want to create a unique interior, where each zone will have its own zest.

Fashionable design tricks for decorating a kitchen in an apartment
A modern kitchen in an apartment should always have original details. We will consider several design solutions in the design of the kitchen below, such as a single range for the backsplash and countertops, stretch ceilings, accent aprons, combined flooring, islands and multi-format headset modules. All these ideas can be implemented both in the design of a separate kitchen and in the design of a kitchen combined with a living room. They are also suitable for the design of a small kitchen, even a small one, and for a kitchen with a much larger area, for example, in a country house. By the way, all ideas can be adapted to different interior styles.
Backsplash and worktop design in the same color scheme
The design of the kitchen with a white apron and an artificial stone worktop in the apartment in the photo above is made in the Provence style. When the apron and countertop are decorated with the same material, the interior (and the work area, in particular) looks more elegant and neat.
Stretch ceiling design with integrated lighting
Stretch ceiling in the interior allows you to create various options for built-in lighting with a large number of lighting scenarios. This makes it possible to use the space with great convenience at different times of the day and under different circumstances. Also, decorative panels, wooden beams, decorative plaster and mirrors can be used in the design of the ceiling.
Accent apron made of fashionable stylish tiles in bright colors
The design of a small kitchen in an apartment is often complemented by an accent apron in a fashionable bright tone. Shades such as teal, marsala, emerald, raspberry, pineapple, apricot - the ability to make a white or gray kitchen as original as possible with just one design decision!
Combination marble effect porcelain stoneware floor
Combination flooring is a chic solution that always pays off. Combining different series of porcelain stoneware for popular types of marble (for example, white and black; brown and beige; white, black and gray), you get a designer geometric pattern or even a carpet-like panel in the center of the room.
Kitchen island with integrated appliances
The design of the living room kitchen in the apartment is often complemented by an island with a bar counter or a functional island with a worktop. You can build a sink, stove, oven, dishwasher, extractor hood and even a wine cooler into it. For the countertop, there are also various modules for embedding. Options for custom built-in appliances include a grill top, teppan yaki grill, steamer, deep fryer, wok panel, pull-out hoods and caramelized salamander grill. There is also an option with a fridge for drinks under the countertop. It is important to understand that the usability of the kitchen depends on a warm floor, a multi-functional sink with cutting boards, a built-in vacuum cleaner built into the TV set, convenient slider windows for easy ventilation and automatic shutters for shading, a large number of sockets and their correct location. And for columns/pencil cases, there are built-in ovens, espresso machines, steamers, microwaves, food processors, and warming cabinets.
Combination multi-size modular top cabinets
Standard-type upper cabinets are no longer a typical design option for this area in the kitchen. There are also open shelves, sideboards, shelving, narrow modules, suspended elements from the ceiling, wall rails and much more. By design, multi-format modules are perfect for a loft, industrial, minimalist or modern kitchen.
Small kitchen design: 9 to 16 sq m
Next, we will consider several design options for a small culinary area. All of them are furnished with Italian kitchen sets from the latest collections. Different layouts and arrangements allow in each case to achieve the most positive result.
Small kitchen design 9 sqm with bases along one wall and columns along the other
The design of a kitchen in an apartment of 9–13 sq m can be complex, but at the same time very functional. The design of a small kitchen in an apartment is always a matter of choosing modules and their configuration, so let's look at the different layouts and furnishing options in the photo below.
Small linear set for standard kitchen 9-14 sqm
In Italian kitchens, the range of both the sets themselves and the modules within each collection is very wide and well thought out. Therefore, for your interior, you can create a truly exclusive ensemble.
Design of a living room kitchen of 30 sq m with a suite in a niche
The design of the kitchen in an apartment of 13–16 sq. M gives more room for action. Here you can afford an additional pencil case, a buffet, a more spacious dining group. What exactly to choose from the modules for such an interior, the interior designer will tell you.
Long corner kitchen with luxurious backsplash - for narrow spaces
But in the end, the design of a small kitchen in an apartment is primarily a matter of your lifestyle. Someone will want to have a larger sink, and someone will put a small one, but will add a dishwasher to the package. Some people want a double side-by-side fridge or an extra freezer, while others go for the standard one, leaving more space for the countertop.
Stylish and modern gray compact loft style suite
A great example of a modern set for a small kitchen, which has a built-in refrigerator in the side high column module.
Small U-shaped kitchen with built-in appliances in side columns
Another great idea for a small kitchen is a living room with a u-shaped kitchen with a peninsula and a side dining area.
Design of a kitchen-living room in an apartment with a marble island with a breakfast bar
An excellent design project for a neoclassical kitchen with a marble island between the culinary and living areas.
Dining room kitchen in an open-plan context with trendy built-in units
A stylish solution for furnishing a kitchen with a glossy set and a dining room with armchairs on a metal frame in the Art Deco style.
Beautiful styles in kitchen design: the most popular and interesting
Next, we'll take a look at the different styles of kitchen interior design that our clients love the most. Among them are glamorous French art deco, practical minimalism with oriental roots, extravagant urban loft, cozy Scandinavian family style and luxurious classicism.
Art Deco: glamorous cocktails and party atmosphere
An art deco kitchen is only suitable for an apartment decorated in the same style or a combination of modern style and art deco. Such a culinary area looks like a front, bar, cocktail, glamorous and will always be a status symbol of your apartment.
Minimalism: practicality and convenience
A minimalist style kitchen set can be found in various design projects of apartments and even decorated in other styles. This is because the kitchen, as a functional, wet and at the same time very important area of the house, should be as practical as possible. But in other elements, you can afford more decor, small details, original design. Therefore, it is easy to find a minimalist set even in a neoclassical or loft-style apartment.
Loft: urban brutalism
A loft-style kitchen is a combination of black gloss, open shelves, metal, steel, wood slabs, and red accents. Not all of these elements will necessarily be present in one kitchen, but they are rightfully considered reference. It is best to design a loft-style kitchen in the context of an open-plan kitchen-living room or simply in a spacious room of 16 sq.
Scandinavian style: bright and tidy family comfort
Renovation in the Scandinavian style in the kitchen in the apartment draws a concise, bright and neat image of a family hearth. Usually we are talking about a white, beige or gray wooden kitchen with light or black countertops, a couple of sideboards and standard built-in appliances. An apron or textiles can become accents. At the same time, Scandinavian cuisine usually costs less than sets in other styles.
Classicism: luxury and detailed decor
"Beautiful and luxurious" is about a kitchen in a classic style. Such a set is usually decorated with carved elements, has an accent design of the main portal, such details as modulons and medallions, bas-reliefs, pseudo-columns, friezes and cornices, crowns. It will amaze you with stained glass cupboards, marble countertops and backsplash, gilding on individual elements. The classic kitchen should be in the interior of the apartment, where the dining room and living room are also decorated in the same style, otherwise there will be a dissonance of eras in the project. The only allowable exception can be considered a combination in different rooms of different areas of the classics, for example, baroque and rococo.
