Blending modern appliances into traditional kitchen designs has been the playground of many designers and architects, and they have created a catalogue of insight into achieving the perfect balance. In this article, we’ll pull together the best advice for blending modern appliances into traditional kitchen designs. [![Request A On-site Consultation](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/143827324/6d2b812a-c8e4-424e-9100-f9a584b08626.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/143827324/6d2b812a-c8e4-424e-9100-f9a584b08626) ## **1. Celebrate Your Cabinetry** There are many reasons to celebrate bespoke cabinetry. It allows you to make your own statement of authenticity, offers precision detailing, and is crafted for custom kitchen quality that endures. As such, [hand-painted cabinetry](https://drewforsyth.co.uk/kitchen-design/hand-painted-kitchens/) is central to the majority of [bespoke kitchen visions](https://drewforsyth.co.uk/project/). Due to its versatility and design potential, custom kitchen cabinetry can be tailored to any requirement. If your dream is to bring a traditional homage to life while still [enjoying the luxuries offered by modern appliances](https://blog.drewforsyth.co.uk/bespoke-luxury-kitchen-design-culinary-haven), hand-made cabinetry can ensure that you find the perfect geometry to celebrate both. ## **2. Orchestrate Your Workflow** [Bespoke kitchen spaces](https://drewforsyth.co.uk/project/) are constructed around iconic features. Jostling for centre stage are the stove, the hearth, the [luxury kitchen island,](https://drewforsyth.co.uk/kitchen-design/island-kitchens/) the feature sink, the fridge, and the dining table. This immediately opens a plethora of design opportunities, where careful choreography can select features that dominate. As such, skilled designers can orchestrate a space where everything within the bespoke kitchen space performs to script. This often involves optimising the positioning so that custom kitchen appliances are part of a very traditional, natural workflow. ## **3. Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind** If the idea of a modern appliance in a classic kitchen design is too much to contemplate, don’t panic. It is possible to achieve authentic, uninterrupted charm. This is where highly skilled craftsmen chisel, sand, and paint their magic to enable appliances to disappear behind artful cabinetry. This approach is particularly [useful for heritage properties where nostalgic preservation is paramount](https://blog.drewforsyth.co.uk/add-value-property-portfolio-bespoke-kitchens). However, if this is part of your vision, be aware that hiding modern kitchen appliances inside a classic kitchen requires the design architecture to be built from the start. The shape and size of the appliances will determine the geometric sizing of the kitchen as a whole, so be sure to discuss this with your dedicated design team. ## **4. Go And Explore** Many contemporary designers have built their careers in the realm of modern kitchen appliances. The current trend is to depart from mainstream, clean-lined puritanism while celebrating the simple pleasures of utility. With this in mind, consider contrasting your traditional kitchen design with a splash of custom kitchen appliances from [Oiva Toikka](https://www.iittala.com/en-gb/collections/all-collections/oiva-toikka-collection#aq=%40collectioncode%20%3D%3D%20(%22OIVA%20TOIKKA%20COLLECT%22%2C%22OIVA%20TOIKKA%20COLLECTION%22)&numberOfResults=19) or a bold blush of [Alessi](https://alessi.com/?tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=18083449364&tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=18083449364&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyc67BhDSARIsAM95Qzv-xo_O3A8S3ip8pFIJMtOzZrmgnJo-hQWPf3l6XE9jOIzdTsz2f2IaAh9BEALw_wcB). To incorporate classic modernity into your traditional kitchen designs, consider timeless names such as [Jeorg Jensen](https://www.georgjensen.com/en-gb?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=brand&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyc67BhDSARIsAM95QzuPmYtb0cX10Rn43mV4eklWJF_SUKM6mwpW-7vWnVmGQgNr6QNIWX4aAsSeEALw_wcB) or [Kay Bojesen](https://kaybojesen.com/). Like many Scandinavian approaches, these schools have achieved an ageless look for custom kitchen appliances, with the mesmerising aura as cutting-edge today as it was a century ago. ## **Next Steps** To explore the beautiful, hand-crafted options that are waiting for you, [book a design consultation](https://drewforsyth.co.uk/contact-us/) with Drew Forsyth today or [get in touch!](https://drewforsyth.co.uk/contact-us/) [![Download Our Kitchen Design Brochure](https://blog.drewforsyth.co.uk/hubfs/V1_R1_JDRGroup%20Drew%20Forsyth%20Kitchen%20Brochure%20CTA_650X363_SK_DD_02_08_2024.png)](https://app-eu1.hubspot.com/pages/143827324/editor/116830535115/content) [facebook-f icon](https://www.facebook.com/drewforsythkitchens/) [instagram icon](https://www.instagram.com/drewforsythkitchens/) [twitter icon](https://twitter.com/drew_forsyth_co) ### Posts By Topics -
