The kitchen is the hub of the home where you plan meals, where family and guests tend to gather, and where provisions are stored. A traditional kitchen interior design idea must keep all these uses in mind.
Traditional kitchens need storage space, freeing up the countertops as work areas. A walk-in pantry fulfills this need nicely, as does an abundance of cabinets with handy features like pull out shelves or cookie sheet racks. Ceiling high Cabinets add storage and an elegant finished appearance to your kitchen. A center island provides work space for yourself and helpers and additional storage space. Granite, marble, stainless steel, or butcher block countertops provide a durable beautiful work surface.
Since the kitchen is usually a gathering place for family and guests;open walkways with space through which people can pass easily, are wanted. Seating options such as counter bar stools, window seats or a kitchen nook with corner bench are a must, to allow family and friends to visit or help with the work. A built in area for a computer, television or desk could add to the comfort of your kitchen.
Durable easy to clean flooring that can withstand spills and traffic is a must in the traditional kitchen. Tile fits this requirement nicely, as does durable vinyl and hardwood.
Traditional kitchens have many ways to provide beauty as well as utility. Glass front doors, built in china cabinets, or open shelving can display your beautiful dishes. Range hoods of metal design can add beauty. Subway tile backsplashes are beautiful as well as an easy to clean design idea for your traditional kitchen. Decorative lighting fixtures like hanging pendants and lighted interiors of display cabinets add charm.
