Get the Look: Transitional Kitchen Decor Ideas

This week on the TV series Le Grand chantier RONA, Team Red brought to life a transitional style kitchen combining contemporary touches, traditional accents, and trendy arches. Read on to find out how to recreate this elegant look at home!

The Inspiration for this Transitional Kitchen

The transitional style, which combines contemporary and traditional designs in this kitchen, is a great way to create a space with personality and a chic, sophisticated atmosphere that’s also unpretentious. The secret? Finding the right balance of modern elements and traditional accents. In this kitchen, modern touches are found in the furniture as well as in the straight, clean lines of the cabinets and the oversized island. Wood accents, on the other hand, bring warmth and texture to the room.

A Palette Rich in Contrasts

A neutral yet contrasting palette is ideal for achieving a contemporary kitchen. While light colours create a nice contrast effect with more modern black accents, medium or dark shades make the wood stand out while adding a touch of sophistication.

Pro Tip

For the kitchen, we recommend choosing quality paint with a washable, durable finish, like Sico’s Clean Surface range.

Eye-Catching Kitchen Cabinets

Kitchen cabinets are often among the stars of modern kitchens. We love the Reading model, with its sleek, transitional look and slightly rounded outer profile. The Satin Cosmo finish is a warm, sophisticated mid-tone grey that goes perfectly with the black hardware and faucet, wood accents, and touches of pure white.

Sleek and Innovative Appliances

Appliances can make all the difference—both in terms of look and functionality—in a kitchen. After all, don’t we use them every day? That’s why it’s important that they blend harmoniously into the room and meet the needs of the whole family. This set of LG appliances offers a versatile and timeless stainless-steel finish as well as innovative features designed to simplify daily life.

Pro Tip

Opting for a chimney-type range hood like this one is perfect for putting a ceramic backsplash on display. You can choose to install the backsplash halfway up the wall like we did here, for a convenient and stylish—but also affordable—option, or to extend it all the way to the ceiling to draw the eye upwards and create the impression of a larger kitchen.

Coffee nook in a kitchen

A Coffee Bar that Fits Right In

A very popular kitchen trend is to separate the breakfast or coffee nook from the rest of the workspace. This addition maximizes space by creating an extra work surface and additional storage. And by placing the coffee nook on the other side of the island, you can make the most out of your seating and enjoy easy access to the faucet and sink.

Elegant and Durable Flooring

Engineered hardwood flooring is an excellent option for the kitchen, offering both unrivalled durability and the warm look of natural wood. The brushed grey finish adds a sober, modern touch to this kitchen.
