One of the most common dilemmas when planning a kitchen remodeling project is choosing the design – traditional or contemporary. Selecting a traditional design for the kitchen can upgrade the kitchen look, emphasizing the timeless and elegant elements in it. On the other hand, picking contemporary design can help optimize and simplify daily chores through the functionality of features, which incorporates modern appliances, inside the kitchen.

Fortunately, a new and emerging design, called transitional kitchen design, has gained popularity over the years, with many homeowners doing kitchen remodeling in Canada choosing to integrate both models in their kitchen. The transitional kitchen design provides the elements and benefits of both traditional and contemporary designs.

Even though the design gives homeowners a sense of freedom in remodeling their kitchens, they must have several essential elements in their kitchen to make it appear as a hybrid of the traditional and contemporary kitchen designs.

A transitional kitchen should have traditional lighting fixtures on the ceiling or above the countertops; geometric and clean lines in different crafted kitchen units; simple styles for cabinetry; and a neutral color palette. Having one or two of the elements of a transitional design can improve the kitchen’s look.

Accordingly, other factors can make the kitchen have a transitional design. It includes the use of natural and manufactured materials, brass hardware for kitchen cabinets and other kitchen units, and porcelain tile backsplash in the kitchen.

Choosing to have a transitional kitchen design can help a homeowner reap the benefits of traditional and contemporary designs. It can also give the homeowner the creativity and freedom to do what they want in their kitchen’s look. There are also available services for kitchen remodeling for homeowners who wish to change their kitchens’ appearance.
