More and more modern kitchens are utilising designs from the past rather than the once ubiquitous slick and spacious ‘modern’ look that was comprised of heaps of stainless steel and very little character.
Not only are the looks of a traditional kitchen making a comeback, but also the constituents of them too. For example, the larder has started to creep back into many new kitchens, being a far more effective way of storing numerous different items in a very accessible way, and at the right temperature to boot.
For those looking to alter their kitchen, the trends look set to continue and therefore not only will opting for a traditional kitchen help make your house look more attractive and feel more homely, but it will also no doubt help you attract more interest in your home when it comes time to sell up and move on.
The reasons for this change are numerous, but one of the biggest influences is simply how much time people are now spending in their kitchens. A recent survey showed that the kitchen was the place most turned too in times of trouble, making people feel safe and harking back to the times of traditional family life. As such, people want the comfort and familiarity that a traditional country kitchen brings, allowing them not only to feel more comfortable but also offering a sanctuary that feels more familiar, cosy and safe when it is needed.
The traditional country kitchen is more homely than many seemingly modern kitchens, and in turn allows the home to feel far more special as a result. Many new units, appliances and mod cons are available in traditional designs and this makes it even more appealing to recapture classic looks without any reduction in efficiency or capability.
So, if you want the most modern kitchen it might well be time to look to the past.
