Traditional kitchen cabinets are classic and fit in with warm and elegant decor styles. Traditional styles are imbued with a touch of old fashioned charm but with a timeless look that separates them from retro trends. This means that traditional cabinets never goes out of style. Here are four traditional elements that will bring a touch of sophistication to your kitchen.
1. Paned Cabinets
Paned cabinets feature glass panels. Much like paned windows, paned cabinets are classic and charming. These cabinets are a great way to display china or tea sets. Some paned cabinets even come with lights inside, so your kitchen can be washed with a soft light in the evening, and your display can be seen at any time.
2. Embellished Wood
Embellished wood cabinets are not painted, but rather stained and lacquered to display the natural beauty of the wood. For a traditional look, they are embellished with beveling (grooves and curves laid into the wood in neat lines that follow the shape of the cabinet) or carvings (designs set in the corners that range from simple squares to elaborate bunches of grapes or leaves). The details on embellished wood cabinets are what sets them apart from other cabinets and gives them a vintage feel.
3. White
White painted kitchen cabinets are a traditional staple. White cabinets bring light into a kitchen and are easy to personalize with beautiful handles, from wooden knobs to silver handles. White cabinets can look amazing in just about any kitchen. They look great against paint, wallpaper, or even wood and are the most versatile of traditional cabinet styles. White is also a color that's easy to match so your backsplash can be a variety of colors as well.
4. Double Stacked
These kitchen cabinets have cabinet doors stacked vertically on top of each other, so instead of one cabinet storage space on the wall, there are two. Double stacked kitchen cabinets are a classic look that has been around for years. For added style, some double stacked kitchen cabinets feature a smaller cupboard on top with a glass pane for displaying dishes or knick-knacks. In addition to looking great, double stacked cabinets offer additional storage space that makes your kitchen run smoother.
5. Kitchen Island Cabinets
A kitchen island with cabinets is a traditional look with practical uses. An island gives you more space to prepare food and cabinets in the base of your island give you more spaces to store cookware, dishes, or cleaning supplies.
