In newer traditional homes, people are opening them up
with fewer walls between the kitchen, dining and living rooms for more
interaction. The kitchens are becoming larger and there is more need for
islands. With more people entertaining in these open spaces these kitchens are
hiding their appliance behind cabinet doors. They are also putting in more storage
space so there are fewer items on the countertops. Traditional kitchens have a “living
room” feel to them so they blend in with the adjoining rooms. These include
crown molding, panel doors and mantle style hood vents. Designers are also
adding texture into the kitchens and mixing materials. The islands are
furniture like with legs and paneled sides. With these kitchens open to the
dining room, benches are more common at the dining tables. The eating nooks
have a built in bench and dining tables have a bench with them.
