Classical Kitchens
The main features of a classical kitchen are cornice and dentil rail, solid wood canopies and ornate pilasters. Solid woods such as Oak and Ash compliment the look. In recent years hand-painting solid wood kitchens have created a new genre of the classical kitchen.
This style perfectly marries the old fashioned appearance with modern technology. Simple features such as Belfast sinks, porcelain handles and solid wood or granite work surfaces are the ideal materials to create the desired appearance. A country cottage does not have to be the only location for a classical kitchen, with careful planning and the right furnishings any house can be home to a kitchen of this style.
Elegantly back-lit glass wall cabinets and robust overmantles create an ambiance that cannot be found in any other style of kitchen. The use of modern accessories like the magic corner or pull out baskets can be used here without taking away from the old style atmosphere. Wicker baskets, plate and wine racks are all visible features in a classical kitchen.
