Transitional Kitchens

The Design Behind Transitional Kitchens 

Transitional kitchens uniquely accommodate any home. A mixture of traditional and contemporary elements are the foundation of any transitional kitchen. As a result, this design combines the best of modern accents with a classic feel. Be as creative as you want with your Dream Kitchen!

The Lighting

Have you ever noticed how bright some kitchens are? Transitional kitchens emphasise lighting. For instance, natural light streams in from windows or patio doors. Emphasize your unique backsplashes with hidden lighting along the bottom of the cabinets. As a result, recessed lighting illuminates every corner.

The Accents

Accents are key to transitional kitchens. For example, white modern cabinetry compliment unique country accents like glass knobs or barn doors. White cabinets are an excellent canvas to paint your Dream Kitchen. Color accents can be permanent or temporary. Appliances can add steady color elements. Or try something more organic with your kitchen. For instance, flowers or bowls of fruits add a fun pop of color!

Before and After

The Transformation: Before and After

These Before and After kitchens give a glimpse on what it’s like to work with Dream Kitchens. We show you how your dull, small kitchen can be transformed into a space that you’ll never want to leave. You won’t even believe these are the same kitchens!

Many of these spaces were in desperate need of a remodel. They were out of date with little to no counterspace or storage. Some had closed-in walls which caused the space to be dark and cramped. The counters were cluttered with décor desperate to fit. The after pictures show just how we fixed each and every problem. You’ll see an array of stunning, bright and airy kitchens with more than enough storage. 

Many remodels now feature improved lighting, storage and a stunning design! The first pair of pictures shows an imaginative reinvention of an old drab space. Luxuriously spacious with a stunning appeal, this open kitchen transformed into the house´s centerpiece! Hanging pendant lights with kitchen island seating create a one-of-a-kind experience.
