Practicalities

The practicalities of a traditional kitchen are endless. Some of the more common features include:

Clutter/Storage

While a contemporary kitchen focuses on using storage to hide your items and keep your kitchen looking bare, the traditional kitchen knows how to rock the fruit bowl and spice rack. A windowsill of kitchen herbs and a pots and pans rail will never be amiss in a traditional kitchen, and in fact, will simply add to the homely and welcoming feel of the kitchen.

Material choices

A contemporary kitchen uses high gloss finishes on most of the cabinets and cabinet doors. And this can look incredible. But it is also completely ruined by sticky fingerprints and smudges. If you have children the high gloss finish is not going to be a great choice. Instead, with a traditional kitchen, you have a full range of cupboard material choices. From wood to laminate. And, the finish is likely to be matt, which means less noticeable marks on your cupboard doors.

Cleaning
