Traditional Style
Things to consider….
Designing a traditionally styled kitchen involves careful attention to detail to evoke a timeless and elegant look. Key elements include using rich dimensional wood detailed cabinetry, elevated molding and trim, and classic hardware. Incorporating natural materials like stone/solid-surface countertops and coordinating finishes enhances the traditional feel and helps tie in with the overall style of your home. Lighting fixtures with a classic flair, like chandeliers or pendant lights, can add warmth and ambiance to the space. To complete the design, select classic patterns like subway tile backsplashes and colorful accents can bring the traditional kitchen into the modern era.
Modern Farmhouse
Things to consider….
Designing a modern farmhouse-styled kitchen involves utilizing a combination of rustic elements with contemporary features. Key details include using shaker-style cabinetry with neutral tones, reclaimed wood accents, and open shelving that help to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Incorporating a large apron-front sink, utilizing a mixture of metal and wood finishes, as well as vintage-inspired lighting fixtures, can further enhance the overall aesthetic. Add a modern touch by incorporating sleek appliances, minimalist hardware, and durable, easy-to-clean, materials such as quartz countertops and porcelain tile.
Vintage Glam
Things to consider….
Designing a vintage or historic-styled kitchen involves meticulous attention to every single detail. From selecting period-appropriate cabinetry styles and hardware to choosing vintage-inspired fixtures and finishes, every element must work together harmoniously to create a cohesive look. The color palette is typically bold while also being inviting, with rich hues like deep earthy tones dominating the space. Ornate details such as intricate tile patterns, beadboard paneling, and decorative molding will add the unique character and charm these spaces demand. Incorporating vintage pieces like a refurbished antique stove or a farmhouse sink can further enhance the nostalgic feel of the kitchen. Careful consideration of lighting, textiles, and accessories are key to achieving an authentic vintage look while ensuring functionality and modern conveniences meet today's standards.
Mid-Century Flair
Things to consider….
When designing a kitchen that embraces the mid-century modern style, it is essential to focus on clean lines, minimalist design, and functionality. Choose flat-panel cabinets with sleek hardware in natural wood tones, incorporate bold and contrasting colors like avocado green or mustard yellow to help give this particular syle its iconic feel. Incorporating geometric patterns in the backsplash or flooring adds visual interest to the space. Opting for a mix of materials such as wood, metal, and stone create a dynamic look that really speaks to mid-mod design. To achieve the authentic mid-century modern feel, consider adding period furniture pieces like Eames chairs or a tulip dining table. Finally, don't forget to bring in plenty of natural light to brighten up the space and highlight the simplicity and elegance of this timeless style.
Take this remodel of a Leawood home as an example of how we can transform a space. We knew that modifying the floor-to-ceiling bay window to counter height was the key to expanding this once-cramped kitchen into a light and airy space. By eliminating the wall dividing the kitchen and living room we created a sense of togetherness and connectivity right in the heart of the home. We elevated the design by continuing the hardwood floors into the kitchen to create a more spacious and cohesive look. With the kitchen now a central focal point, it becomes a hub of activity where people can gather, cook, and socialize effortlessly. This integration not only improves the functionality of the space but also elevates the overall ambiance and mood of the home.

The Importance of Proper Planning
Creating a solid design plan before starting any kitchen renovation is crucial for any successful project. A well-thought-out plan ensures that all aspects of the renovation are considered, from layout and functionality to style and budget. By mapping out the design details in advance, homeowners can avoid costly mistakes, delays, and the need for mid-project changes. A comprehensive design plan from dh Design Studio will not only help to streamline the renovation process, but also to keep everything on track, ensuring that the results meet your vision and goals.
