Let the ideas for inspiring design elements from Park and Oak design continue in this celebration of classic timeless kitchen inspo which began HERE.
Classic Timeless Kitchen Inspo: Park and Oak
Start HERE for 1-6 of this exploration of kitchens from Park and Oak.
7. Wood for Kitchen Ceiling
Classic kitchens often celebrate nostalgia, simple lines, and texture from materials such as beaded board. Don’t forget you can use the material on the ceiling too.
For new construction projects, beadboard can truly do wonders to create a timeless look. As for older kitchen ceilings with popcorn or texture (good heavens, if I never inherit another 1970s swirly sparkling paw-print pattern ceiling, I will be a happy camper), hello, lovely tongue and groove or bead board!
WE INTERRUPT THESE KITCHEN IDEAS FOR A RECIPE just like my mamaw used to make us when she visited. My mom never baked so we never had baking pans but this didn’t stop my granny from baking cobblers in Fireking oven-safe bowls! Have you tried this method my mamaw used for cobbler?
Don’t you love recipes where you only need one pan? Here’s a possibility which celebrates the prospect:
8. Classic Kitchen Ingredients: Subway Tile
It matters not how many Pinteresting kitchen designs call for it, subway tile does wonders as a hardworking, economical, visually pleasing kitchen mainstay.
This simple material and classic pattern doesn’t fall from favor and leaves so much space for other decorating opportunities to personalize the balance of the design.
9. Two-Tone Textural Spaces
If you’re after a truly simple, neutral look with a bit of high contrast, opt for black and natural accents.
In the kitchen by Park and Oak above, notice the harmonious balance of textures and serene color story. I spy Goodman pendants, and I love the gold glowing inside!
A black island need not be a monstrous focal point or feel austere, as evidenced by the kitchen above. Warm wood on the floor keeps the overall look natural and welcoming.
10. Banquette Design
Whether space is tight in a breakfast dining area or you simply love the architectural look of them, banquette seating is a classic choice.
Minimal, built-in, upholstered, or tufted, these benches which add so much cozy intimacy in restaurants make sense for warm dining moments at home too.
11. Handmade Tiles
What an opportunity to choose a beautiful timeless pattern to enhance the experience of cooking and baking every single day.
I am not always a fan of two-tone cabinetry for my own renovations, but to see the moody tone of the wall cabinetry above and the surrounding contrast…wow!
12. Coolness of Copper
What a brilliant pop a simple copper utensil holder or saucepan imparts!
Also, while swapping out your existing range for a dreamy blue number like this beauty below may not be possible…
If this shade of blue makes your heart sing, consider introducing it with decor, upholstery, or tile. It’s helpful to study how a mood is created as the blue works with the white cabinetry as well as the light wood work table.
That charming floor! I used the exact tile for a condo bath we renovated for our son, where it’s a cheerful pop of happy to enjoy daily.
13. Shaker Simplicité
I’m beyond charmed by the meditative, serene, simple yet sophisticated look of these lovely kitchen designs with Shaker style cabinets and graceful, undone charm.
So many takeaways for us here, and it’s easy to see how soothing blue-grey walls work wondrously with soft white cabinetry. Look away from a matchy-matchy look.
15. Dutch Oven as Decor?
Don’t you love it when a workhorse in your kitchen also doubles as a simple yet sophisticated design element? Me too!
Even if your specialty resides on a take-out menu, you can still adorn your range with a heavy charmer. I took a cue from the kitchen above and recently added a charcoal French oven to my range:
Who needs to store their beautiful cookware out of sight? Not me!
(Time to start dreaming about the color of the decorative Dutch oven in your future.)
16. Farm Sink Fans
They aren’t just for farmhouses, and if you have avoided adding one to your kitchen design out of fear they will stain, fear not.
My own apron front fireclay farm sinks have taken a ton of abuse, and there’s not a day I don’t appreciate the beauty and function:
Psst. Isn’t this corner cabinet below genius?
As you can see, there isn’t a singular look for kitchens with farm sinks. They can star in modern farmhouse kitchens, coastal kitchens, urban country kitchens, traditional, and vintage modern spaces.
