A successful Traditional Kitchen will enhance key features, but will not feel overbearing. The choice of cabinetry will have a significant impact on the look you want to achieve, and while Frame-less cabinets will give a more contemporary look, what you want to see in a Traditional Kitchen is more Flush Inset or Framed Cabinets. Traditional Kitchen cabinets look more like antique-style furniture, with frames around the doors and drawers that are set flush with that frame. You will also see elements in oil-rubbed bronze or antique brass. It is not uncommon to have cabinets with finishes that are glazed or made to look distressed. Whether you are using the antique white or a different colour, a bit of glazing can give an instant aged look. But beware of antique finishes that look fake. They can easily compromise the whole look.
