Classic vs. contemporary kitchens—what's right for me?

Choose between classic charm with timeless appeal or contemporary sleekness with modern functionality based on your personal style and lifestyle.

Classic Kitchen Characteristics

  • Shaker or raised-panel cabinetry
  • Natural materials like wood and stone
  • Warm, neutral colour palette
  • Timeless appeal that never goes out of style
  • Perfect if you prefer traditional elegance

Contemporary Kitchen Characteristics

  • Flat-panel, handle-less cabinetry
  • Sleek materials like glass and composites
  • Bold or monochromatic colour schemes
  • Clean lines and minimal ornamentation
  • Ideal if you love modern, uncluttered spaces

Your Lifestyle Matters

Classic kitchens often feel more homey and comfortable for families. Contemporary kitchens can be easier to clean and maintain. Which aligns with your daily life?

The Transitional Option

Can't decide? Transitional kitchens blend elements of both styles! Think Shaker cabinets in modern colours, traditional materials with clean lines, or classic layouts with contemporary lighting.
