Three popular styles in modern kitchen design include: Tuscan, Mixed Traditional, and French Country
In today's modern kitchen design market, there are three styles that people are installing into their homes. The highlights of Tuscan, mixed traditional, and French country are listed below.
The modern kitchen design style of Tuscan comes from the region of Tuscany in Italy. This style can be characterized by functional kitchens with warm old world plastered or painted walls with distressing or wear in the paint. The cabinets are Simple to moderately decorative with carved accents in their design and are usually wood that is stained a light to medium color. The cabinets can have distressing in the wood, especially since they represent the appearance of cabinets that are very old and have been in use for years. Countertops are functional stone materials and there is use of terra-cotta style tiles or stone for the flooring. Islands are usually simple and consist of wood.
The modern kitchen design style using mixed traditional elements has become very popular. This style might have light colored cabinets with a darker wood island. The countertops for the kitchen might consist of darker colored quartz or granite with an island that is covered in a darker granite surface. Flooring could be hardwood, stone, or tile. The mixed traditional is very flexible in accommodating the owners individual tastes and style. Overall cabinet selection might be simple while the island wood work has decorative elements. Lighting may be modern halogen, yet the ceiling contains hewn wood beams. Appliances in the mixed traditional kitchen are usually stainless steel, which ads a level of refinement and luxury to the overall design.
The modern kitchen design style that is French country uses tiles as a decorative and functional element in the kitchen design. These decorative tiles are used as backsplashes in the French country design and are usually some type of pattern or bolder colors with a handmade or antique appearance, making them a distinguishing feature in the kitchen. Cabinetry can be simple with glass panel fronts or solid. Hand- carved wood trim pieces can be used in this style as well. A hanging pot rack is at home in the French country style.
