5 Timeless Kitchen Design Features

Kitchen remodeling is a fun and exciting process, especially when you finally get to start picking finishes. Renovation is an investment, and homeowners want their new space to look great for years to come, and often the best way to accomplish this goal is to choose features that are viewed as “classic”. Norfolk Kitchen & Bath has a few timeless design decisions that you might want to consider for your next kitchen project.

  1. White shaker cabinets. There’s something about white kitchen cabinets, don’t you think? Simple lines and a light color has been instantly marked as a classic look in kitchen design, and is versatile with a number of other styles and colors.
  2. Subway tile. Classic subway tiles are white, 3-by-6 inch rectangles, and they can be easily matched with a number of cabinets and other kitchen features. No matter the changes you make in your kitchen throughout the years, your backsplash will never look dated.
  3. Hardwood floors. If you’re looking for a comfortable, cozy feel in your home, hardwood floors are an easy way to accomplish that. There’s a reason that through decades of kitchen remodels around the world, hardwood floors have survived. It’s because they are durable, warm, and look beautiful.
  4. Plenty of light. It’s no surprise that because dark kitchens are often viewed as dated, kitchens with lots of natural light are preferred. Planning your design around new or existing windows will only add to the timeless appeal of your kitchen.
  5. Neutral colors. We see kitchens designed with bright or vibrant color pallets in older homes, and are often switched out for subtler paint choices. Natural tones are timeless because they have always existed, and utilizing that feature will keep your kitchen updated and fresh.

Finding a mix between trends and timeless details will help create an aesthetic that both matches your style and will look great for years to come.
