Five Classic Trends For a Timeless Kitchen Design.
Today I’m excited to talk about classic kitchen trends which will all have timeless appeal.
We all know design trends by their nature come and go.
Having a kitchen look dated only a few years after you’ve spent so much time and money is never ideal.
I’ve been thinking about this post for a while now and I’ve finally narrowed it down to the top five classic trends I’m loving in kitchen design.
The one’s which will stand the test of time.
From lighting fixtures to the kitchen island, paint color and more – all of these kitchens shown here today have staying power for years to come.
I know you’re going to love these timeless kitchen trends.
Classic Kitchen Trend Number 1. : Mixing Metal Finishes
Mixing metal finishes is something I’ve talked about before and a topic I still get questions about all the time!
In theory I guess it seems a little strange to mix finishes, but I promise you it will look great.
The example above from Studio McGee, (who always designs flawless kitchens) illustrates this idea perfectly.
The brass cabinetry hardware looks absolutely stunning with the stainless steel finish and faucet on the range.
I listed this kitchen trend here first because I love it so much.
It’s also something I have implemented in my own kitchen (shown here with sources).
Classic Kitchen Trend Number 2: Statement Ranges (truly timeless)
Kitchen Trend Number 3: Fancy Pantries
Most people love a beautiful walk in pantry.
I know I do!
Personally, I’ve been obsessed with getting ours beautifully organized for a few years now!
With the popularity of organizing companies all over Instagram, it’s no surprise to see fancy pantries on the rise in kitchen trends.
Beautifully styled and organized walk in kitchen pantries are becoming a “must have” for many new home buyers these days.

Kitchen Trend Number 4: High Performance Counter Tops
More and more interior designers and home owners alike are looking for durable and maintenance free kitchen counter tops.
Granite, quartz and even polished concrete counters are getting rave reviews.
With busy kitchens working double time these days, this should come as no surprise.
These days, manufacturers are committed to combining durable materials with aesthetics, the results may surprise you.

Kitchen Trend Number 5: Colorful Cabinetry
The more colorful cabinets I see, the more I seem to like them.
Although my preference is still very much for an all white, classic style kitchen, I happen to love a bold colored cabinet.
I also love the way a high gloss color can really enhance a small kitchen’s design.
In the photo above, they took the paint right up to the crown molding-
A bold approach which really paid off!
We chose to paint our butler’s pantry high gloss blue and while it’s not the kitchen, it is visible from our kitchen (and our dining room) which is great because we still get that big colorful pop!
Whether it’s blue or green, black or even pink, colorful kitchen cabinets are making a major design statement these days and don’t think this trend will be going away any time soon.
