What Is A Traditional Kitchen And Why Would You Want One?
Traditionally, kitchens were usually not very good. In an average home, they were often too small and inadequately equipped. For the rich and famous, kitchens along the lines of TV’s Upstairs Downstairs were big enough; but, only acceptable because of the large amount of kitchen servants they employed who simply had to make do with what was provided. Surely nobody wants to recreate those kitchens of old? Also, what about modern equipment like microwave ovens, food blenders and that special God send – the dishwasher? Isn’t everyone’s dream kitchen a modern one with all the latest appliances scientifically laid out to maximise the space available and of pleasant appearance so you actually enjoy being in it?
Traditional Appearance But With Modern Appliances
The days of separate rooms for different kitchen associated duties – pantry, scullery, etc are largely long gone and, for most of us, everything has to fit in to one room space. Some even prefer an open kitchen that merges into the dining area. However, inefficient as they were, some of the features of older style kitchens do have a unique aesthetic value. Traditional wooden furniture is often considered more attractive than mass produced plastic or veneered chipboard.
Consider The Cabinets And Work Surfaces
Some ultra modern kitchens can have a very stark appearance; maybe not quite a hospital operating theatre look but getting close. This is what some people like but, for many, the traditional feel and look of real wood and stone gives a “feel good” comfort affect.
In meeting the space constraints and improving usage efficiency; the kitchen cabinets and bench top work surfaces play a major part. They could be said to be the kitchen’s support skeleton. They are also the most visual part of the kitchen – what you see when you first enter any kitchen. The cabinets themselves can have a traditional appearance which can be further enhanced by the hardware associated with them – knobs, handles, etc. Granite and marble stone tops are readily available to provide a traditional look and feel to the worktop surfaces. All of this can be tastefully blended in with even the most modern of appliances.
