23 Transitional Kitchen Designs to Mix the Old and the New
Not familiar with transitional style? Here is a list of kitchens that will give you an idea.
Have you heard of a transitional space? Well, if not, let me tell you what it is. When you say transitional, it is a combination of traditional and contemporary style. Or it is mostly referred to as an “updated classic” style or a classic space with an added contemporary twist. To make the long story short, it is a new take on traditional spaces. This can be done easily especially if your home has a classic design merely by bringing in contemporary items inside the home.
We can use this style even in the kitchen. In this style, furniture has clean, timeless and classic design which focuses more on comfort and practicality. It doesn’t use complex design or ornamentation. Rather, it prefers to use minimal decors to create a relaxing and comfortable area without overdoing it. When we speak of color palettes, it would be monochromatic with some artistic accents. Wood finishing is one notable feature too. Let us take a look at some transitional kitchens we have gathered for today’s feature.

23. Oak Hill, Virginia | Kitchen Remodel
Dovetail Kitchen Designs
The countertop of the island has an interesting appeal but what makes the look of this kitchen is the wooden cabinets and stainless appliances.
I know you have seen the updated classic look on the kitchens above with the addition of contemporary and even modern items into them. We can see that even with its traditional appeal, there would always be something “new” in the space making it a transitional kitchen. Yes, a transitional look can also be possible in the kitchen too and just on other areas of the house and apparently, with the spaces we have featured, it isn’t that hard to pull off the look. So, if you have a classic kitchen, simply add some contemporary furniture and lighting- then you’ll get a transitional kitchen!
