Traditional Design

At the heart of every home is an inviting and comfortable kitchen. A traditional style palette doesn’t mean outdated – in most cases, it simply means more elegance! The best part is that you have a full range of styles from European and American homes throughout the last three centuries to choose from and build the perfect kitchen for the Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and Chapel Hill areas. Our showroom in Durham, NC is the perfect place to discuss your ideas while providing real-life examples for you to see and touch.

Classic and Timeless

Early American. Victorian. Neoclassical. Federal. What all of these styles have in common is that they are both classic and timeless. With intriguing details and embellishments that add character and charm, traditional kitchens provide plenty of space, functionality and style. The unlimited choices of carved moldings, fine woodwork, graceful lines, and well-crafted elements will amaze you.

Warm Materials

One of the greatest benefits of the traditional style is familiarity. Materials, colors, forms, and ornamentation all blend together to build a sense of warm comfort and relaxation that really turns a house into a home.

Details, Details

Taking a traditional style kitchen from good to great involves adding gorgeous architectural details such as arches, crown moldings, intricate beam ceilings, framed and raised-panel cabinets, ornate range hoods, chandeliers, hanging light fixtures, and furniture-style cabinets to create the ultimate ambiance.

Kitchen Islands

A kitchen without an island is hardly a kitchen at all! This is the focal point of any traditional kitchen, and as such is likely to feature many ornate carved corbels or brackets and carved details/molding between cabinet drawers.

Other Design Elements

Don’t be afraid to mix it up! Fresh appliances and kitchen space accessories allow you to stamp your personality onto this versatile space, with everything from farmhouse sinks to niches and ledges behind the cooktop or sink, and even cabinet door inserts such as beveled glass or metal mesh.
