Top 6 features of classic kitchen design
Some things never go out of fashion, and the classic style kitchen offers a timeless design choice. The classic kitchen is designed to blend seamlessly with the rest of the home and gives an effortless aesthetic.
Classic kitchens are our most sought-after kitchen style and favour certain design characteristics. We spoke to the design team at The Maker Designer Kitchens about what features to consider for this style and how you can incorporate the last kitchen design trends popular in 2022.
Neutral colours
It should come as no surprise that bright colours are rarely featured in a classic style kitchen. In keeping with the subdued aesthetic, shades of white, beige and light wood laminates like Polytec Angora Oak shown below are the main feature of this design. Of course, you can also use other colours on the neutral palettes such as pale blue and warm greys.
Simple design
A classic kitchen is all about timelessness, so the overall design is intentionally kept simple. The simplicity of the design is aimed at bringing a sense of balance and symmetry to your kitchen without over-the-top features. This makes it the perfect style when you want your kitchen to integrate with the existing style of the home.
Tiled splashback
For a classic kitchen splashback, you can’t go past a striking tiled design. It’s an excellent way to apply texture to your kitchen design when working with a simple colour palette. Glazed tiled splashbacks are becoming popular again in 2022 and we absolutely love a sophisticated herringbone tiled splashback.
Simple cabinet styles
Although some detailing in the cabinetry is often seen in classic kitchens, overly ornate styles don’t tend to feature. Ultra-modern, high gloss cabinets are also out. Matt laminate selections are what’s trending now and simpler style cabinets will blend into the other living areas of your home.
Natural lighting
The more natural light the better in the classic kitchen. Make sure you optimise the natural light you have available, and consider adding in larger windows or even a glass splashback window to bring lots of light into your kitchen zone.
Natural flooring
When it comes to choosing the flooring for your classic kitchen, it’s all about a natural, neutral look. For this reason, timber style flooring is a perfect option. Not only does it have a timeless appeal, it’s also a practical and long-lasting choice.
