Keeping up with the latest trends can be tiresome. Furthermore, you never know if something thats in style now will look dated in just a few short years. For this reason, you cant go wrong with a kitchen that feels timeless, especially when selling your home. Here are a few tips for creating a cooking space thats sure to hold its appeal for years to come.
Stainless Steel Appliances
Its almost hard to remember what kitchens looked like before stainless steel appliances became the go-to. Theyve been in luxury kitchens for over two decades now and show no sign of going away any time soon, so its safe to say that theyre more than just a trend. Whether its your oven, dishwasher or refrigerator, stainless steel has indeed established itself as part of the aesthetic in a timeless kitchen.
Marble Countertops
Long before their recent resurgence, marble countertops were widely used in high-end and historical homes from the early 20th century. The veined-pattern of this natural stone lends a sophisticated ambience to any kitchen and will stand the test of time. However, being a porous material, it will need to be sealed regularly to prevent staining.
Neutral Tones
While it can be fun to add a bold splash of color to your home, a timeless cooking space is often finished in neutral tones. Shades of white, beige or gray are commonly used to create an environment that feels clean and relaxing. Another option, however, is to go with stained cabinets that showcase warm millwork.
Farmhouse Sink
Farmhouse sinks have been a popular feature in gourmet kitchens for over ten years now and they continue to be all the rage. They combine form and function, with ample space when cooking or doing dishes, as well as an elegant appearance. In fact, theyve become so prevalent in recent years that youre likely to find one in practically any style of high-end kitchen, from modern to traditional.
