The Traditional kitchen style is a blend of English
and American designs from the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century designs and
has a classic, elegant look that is very popular in many homes. Formal details are usually seen in
perfect symmetry and balance.
The traditional cabinetry
is usually finished with cherry or mahogany stain however; a recent trend is to
paint the cabinetry with a white or antique white finish. The
trim for traditional kitchen
cabinets includes fluted panels, corner blocks with rosettes,
beaded trim,
and dentil crown
molding. The cabinet doors
typically feature a raised panel style, often with a slight arch. The countertops are often natural stone,
such as granite. Antiqued brass fittings compliment the traditional style
kitchen very well.
