Traditional Style

A kitchen design aesthetic rooted in 18th and 19th-century European and American furniture traditions. Traditional kitchens feature raised panel or detailed frame-and-panel doors, ornate crown molding, decorative corbels and columns, furniture-style toe kicks, and rich wood stains or antique-white painted finishes. Hardware is typically brushed or polished metal in classic shapes. The overall effect is warm, elegant, and timeless.
