What You Need to Know About Transitional Kitchens

The transitional kitchen style highlights the finest features of traditional and contemporary design. It is known for its laid-back appeal, huge amount of storage and bright interiors. As expert kitchen designers in the Birmingham, AL metro area, this is a style we definitely want to share with you:

To achieve this popular style, here are some of its basic elements that you should incorporate into your kitchen remodeling project.

Lighting

Pendant lighting is commonly used in transitional kitchens. You can place a series of pendant lights or a single statement piece above your dining table to distinguish the space from the kitchen’s work zones. If you want to create a more intimate atmosphere, hang the pendant lights low over the table.

Flooring

Plank-style flooring, specifically wood and wood-look flooring, is another common feature of transitional kitchens. Whether you choose dark or light stains, this flooring type has a rich color that brings warmth to the space. The simple wood accent from the flooring also draws the eye to the range area without overshadowing the rest of the kitchen. For more personalized advice, consult a reputable design and build company like Reliable Design-Build-Remodel.

Finishes

If you want your transitional kitchen to look more modern than traditional, black and brass finishes for your cabinet hardware and other fixtures are an excellent choice. You may also consider installing geometric tiles, which mimic the overall crisp lines of transitional style. Just make sure to use these tiles in moderation so that the space doesn’t look too busy or complicated. But if you want to use geometric tiles on a bigger surface area or in a small kitchen, choose a grout color closer to the tile for a more harmonious look.
