Create a Traditional Kitchen with a Modern Twist
Published on 10 Jul 2020
Classic kitchen designs have stood the test of time. Their timeless elegance and their ability to fit into both contemporary and modern homes make them an endlessly popular choice.
There are many ways that you can make your classic kitchen stand out from the rest. For example, you may choose to incorporate enhancing design features or unique storage options to give your room the wow-factor.
Another way of making a traditional kitchen unique is to spruce it up with subtle modern features.
We’ve put together some tips on ways that you can create a traditional kitchen with a modern twist.
1. Statement kitchen island
Kitchen islands have been a popular addition to kitchens for many years now - they work wonderfully in both modern and traditional settings. To give your classic kitchen that modern twist, opt for a statement kitchen island with a unique, bright colour like our painted lilac swatch called Wisteria. For that extra wow-factor, add a stylish design feature like our new wine drawers, which are perfect for showcasing your favourite wine bottles and glassware.

2. Open shelving
Create an inviting, social space with open shelving. Open shelves will allow you to open up the room and showcase your favourite items. Exposed cabinets can also help your space look brighter and more spacious if your kitchen is on the smaller side!
3. Feature wall
Adding a feature wall can help define different stations of the kitchen and allows you to infuse some personality into your design. This modern feature wall in Lava makes a vibrant addition to this kitchen and really livens up the space.
4. Unique design features
Our selection of unique design features will both enhance your kitchen’s design and allow you to create a kitchen that’s truly unique to you. This Chef’s Table gives the kitchen a classic country design flair, and the vibrancy of Wiseria gives it a modern edge. To further enhance the country vibe, use unique storage features like our new crate drawers - the perfect choice for that farmhouse chic look.
