Timeless Kitchens: 11 Kitchens With Stained Cabinets

We all love painted cabinets in the kitchen because of how crisp and clean they can look. Stained cabinets, on the other hand, can also look clean and fresh especially after they are upgraded with white stone, wood washed techniques and beautiful cabinet hardware. After that, they are not only beautiful, but they are timeless kitchens that will stand the test of times.

If you happen to like traditional design with a modern twist, then you will love these timeless kitchens below. Each and every one of them has what it takes to make anyone want to reverse their previously painted kitchen cabinets to natural wood color again. All these kitchen images were found on Pinterest where it is really hard to track the source and credit. If you happen to be the photographer or designer of one of these kitchens, please leave a comment, and I’ll be happy to credit you.

A beautiful and bright living room where blue and white is interpreted in a modern design.

You may have heard of the term Modern Victorian which is an Interior design style that aims to reinterpret Victorian style in a modern and au courant way. It may sound intimidating to buy a Victorian home because they have small, closed rooms with not much light coming in and as a result, they are not too inviting. However, challenging Victorian homes can be charming; they have a lot of character often embellished with exquisite woodwork and craftsmanship.

A Timeless Modern Bathroom: Lucas’s Jack and Jill Bathroom Reveal

I finally can act on my promise of sharing with you some of the improvements we’ve done in the house. I wanted to create for our son a modern bathroom which was also timeless, in which he will eventually grow without getting tired of it. This house was built in the early 70’s, so when we bought it, it was stuck in that period. Lucky for us, the previous owners didn’t update it. Everything from lousy wood paneling, even worse looking wallpaper in many of the rooms, red tile floors, small and crowded kitchen was what enchanted me. No, I’m not losing it, I’m just an Interior Designer who loves to make spaces purely personal, and who also likes challenges. Where others see obstacles, I see endless possibilities.

The construction of the house is a very good one, and everything the previous owners chose in their home was in the respective time, of good quality as well, but they never updated anything. To their defense, at least there was no linoleum flooring. I want to warn you that the slideshow below has before pictures. They may be hurtful to look at, but we all love a good before and after.

Rugs can be the perfect accessory to make your space cozy and inviting.

Layering Natural Texture Rugs

One factor that should be taken into consideration when layering rugs are textures and patterns. One of the most appealing aspects of rugs over rugs is how cozy and collected can make a room feel. When a guest enters your home, you want them to feel welcomed and relaxed. Likewise, you want to feel that your home and its intimate spaces are peaceful retreats. Textures and patterns will make your living room or bedroom feel warm and inviting, especially natural textures such as cowhide, jute, and sisal. When layering rugs look to include various styles like wool, bamboo, and even animal skin, the space looks more exciting and inviting.
