Transitional Style: Casual. Understated. Informal.
If the simple lines of Shaker-style cabinets strike your fancy, but your overall style isn’t fancy at all, this casual category is likely for you. Transitional Style is a blend of both traditional and contemporary and often features clean lines and a palette of warm neutrals. Take a look at the kitchens below, or use the style boards for inspiration. When you find something you love, write it down in your Kitchen Project Tracker so you have it handy when you meet with your designer.
