Kitchen Design Aesthetics You Should Be Aware Of

29 Dec Kitchen Design Aesthetics You Should Be Aware Of

Choosing a new kitchen is an exciting experience and there are so many different aesthetics to be aware of. Exploring these many kitchen trends and styles will help you to find that perfect solution for your kitchen, and using the numerous products we offer at Abingdon Bathrooms, we will be able to bring your dream kitchen to life.

Your ideal kitchen style might not be something you expect and it might not be something particularly mainstream or ‘on-trend’ either. This individuality in style and aesthetic is what has inspired us to create our guide to some of the best kitchen styles that are often overlooked by modern homeowners. Scroll on down to find out more about some of the different styles that are available for your new kitchen. 

The Shaker style

If you’re looking for something that encompasses the homely warmth that kitchens should offer, then you’re looking for the shaker style. This aesthetic has been around for decades, with its wooden flooring and recessed panel cabinets combined to create a unique style. If you’re a fan of natural materials, then this is the aesthetic for you. 

The name of the Shaker style comes from the Shakers who emigrated from the UK to the US in the 18th century. Their utopian community created a style that was both simple and functional, and designed to have as little waste as possible. The Shaker style is neither traditional nor contemporary and it offers something you can’t find in any other aesthetic. This practical style has stood the test of time, so if you’re wanting a kitchen that you won’t have to remodel when trends change, this is a great choice.

The farmhouse style

What makes up the farmhouse style? Think herringbone flooring, large islands, cream cabinets and wooden bar stools, then you’re pretty much there. This modern yet rustic look took the world by storm when the idea of taking on a ‘fixer-upper’ became mainstream. 

You can easily make a farmhouse style kitchen your own by combining modern appliances with traditional features and this is perfect for creating a relaxed environment that still focuses a lot on functionality. This traditional style celebrates a rustic finish that is very much inspired by natural wood and open shelving, and it is easy to adapt to suit your individual taste. 

The Cottagecore style

This may be an aesthetic that you’ve never heard of before, but the Cottagecore style is charming and welcoming. No matter what style of property you own or where your home is located, the slightly quirky and rustic details of a Cottagecore kitchen can work brilliantly. 

Working with the original features of your home and hiding all of your state-of-the-art appliances is key to creating this aesthetic. The Cottagecore style romanticises rural life and cottage living, making a simplistic kitchen design feel warm and homely. Add raised panels and decorative details to your kitchen cabinetry to put your own stamp on the Cottagecore style. 

The transitional style

If you really can’t choose one style, then you should consider trying the transitional style. This blends the very best of contemporary and traditional aesthetics into one classic and elegant kitchen design, perfect for hosting family and friends. Pick out Shaker cabinets, farmhouse countertops and incorporate the finishing touches from the Cottagecore style to create a design you love. Combining a few different aesthetics can work surprisingly well.
