At Modiani Kitchens, we offer two different styles of transitional kitchens, our transitional Cesar Italian luxury kitchens and selected American made transitional kitchen lines. Transitional high-end kitchen design is at its heart a marriage of traditional kitchen design and elements of modern luxury kitchen design. While it can be hard to pin down an exact definition, generally speaking, most transitional kitchens have functionality and ingenuity at their forefront. They often have a layered, calmly erratic look that inspires a feeling of something new and eclectic without following any specific design rules. When designed well, a transitional kitchen design tends to be totally customized and unique.
By its very nature, the typical transitional kitchen design process involves mixing two unlike styles to create a new, in-between design style. When working with transitional design, you may want to use both modern and classic design elements. While modern design elements embrace a brand new style, traditional high-end design elements often tend to create an overall timeless, classic feel. In order to create this typical transitional look, this could mean mixing antiques with new technology, an old kitchen table with modern chairs, or traditional wood cabinets with glass design elements. The most inviting thing to many designers who work with transitional kitchen design is the lack of rules, which means you can be very creative during the transitional kitchen design process.
So, how can you get the look? Below are some tried and true, valuable tips from our kitchen designers. Transitional designs work best for creative clients, who are happy to try something new and are ready for decorative adventures. Transitional kitchen design is all about mixing different kitchen styles and materials. While a straightforward design tends to stick to either wood or stainless steel, transitional design often uses them both, and the mix is breathtaking. You can of course also choose different materials, which we display at our Modiani kitchen showroom, to create a look that is layered in its style and its meaning.
In general, most designers opt for a neutral color palette with varying shades of browns and tans. In terms of kitchen trends, transitional kitchen design is all about creating a look that is timeless yet modern, and typically uses neutral cabinet color schemes in order to give the cabinets an eternal look. Of course, no one is suggesting eschewing color. A pop of color here and there can go a long way. By and large, neutral color schemes seem to work best for transitional kitchens. Our Modiani kitchen designers suggest using focal points, splashes of color, and varied textures to create a kitchen that is layered in its visual intrigue. By mixing focal points, colors, and textures along with using a variety of materials, the overall look of the transitional kitchen space should feel rich in its variation and cohesive at the same time.
