There’s No Such Issues As Timeless Kitchen Design

I like to flip by means of previous magazines to revisit previous traits. I nonetheless discover myself being impressed by issues I see in these previous magazines. However one among them actually caught my eye. Since we’re going to be doing a kitchen addition within the close to future, this particular version Kitchen & Bathtub publication was particularly fascinating to me. I used to be so curious to see if any of those kitchens would nonetheless look “present” at the moment.

This journal was from 2007, so it’s seventeen years previous.

Most likely probably the most fascinating factor about it’s that it value $4.99.

I purchased an analogous journal simply final week. It’s has about the identical variety of pages, similar variety of options.

However this one value $14.99. How miserable.

However anyway, again to the 2007 publication. What actually struck me was all the darkish cupboards. Virtually each advert in the entire journal featured darkish stained wooden cupboards. And I used to be by no means a fan of these tiny sq. mosaic tile backsplashes even again in 2007.

However the adverts that includes darkish stained wooden cupboards had been quite a few.

In actual fact, in the entire journal, I don’t assume I noticed an advert that had something aside from darkish stained wooden cupboards. And the travertine. My goodness, a lot travertine!

This was through the time I had my inside adorning enterprise, and I keep in mind these traits. Everybody wished darkish stained cupboards with a travertine backsplash, and so they wished their houses embellished to appear to be a web page out of a Pottery Barn catalog.

All I wished to do was adorn with coloration, and but, I used to be caught on this by no means ending darkish wooden, travertine, Pottery Barn hell with a aspect of “Texas Tuscan”. I couldn’t escape it.

I imply, these adverts with the darkish wooden cupboards simply appeared endless! Each advert!

And even once they tried one thing totally different, like this extra modern look, it was nonetheless darkish.

Then I received to the options. That is the kitchen from the duvet.

At the least it’s white and vibrant. It’s undoubtedly the closest to “timeless” that there’s in the entire journal.

Right here’s one other earlier than and after function. I imply, you may inform me what you assume. Is that this timeless? I don’t assume it’s. The after image seems to be like a earlier than image at the moment.

I used to be additionally shocked to see simply what number of black and white kitchens there have been on this one publication. The one from the duvet is white cupboards with a black countertop. The one above is similar. And right here’s one other one under.

I keep in mind this look all too effectively. Although the cupboards are a light-weight coloration, the room has a heaviness to it.

Even this kitchen that’s a lot whiter and brighter has a heaviness to it. I believe kitchens again then had been a bit overdone. Issues appear lighter, brighter, and less complicated at the moment.

This one was most likely the closest I discovered to with the ability to go as a timeless design, though I believe a brand new coat of white paint would go a good distance on this kitchen.

This one is only a no from me.

I believe this one most likely seemed modern in 2007, however not at the moment.

And I don’t even keep in mind this being common again in 2007.

This one might nonetheless be good at the moment with a just some updates, just like the ceiling. And I’d additionally take away these heavy corbels. I keep in mind these being so common again then, however I simply don’t see them getting used anymore.

So you may inform me what you assume. Do any of those go as “timeless design” to you? I personally don’t assume there’s any such factor.
