A kitchen should be designed and built to last. While this means the durability and longevity of the materials should withstand daily use for years to come, it also means the look and style shouldn’t date any time soon.
Even if you design what you deem a 'modern kitchen', it's realistically going to date at some point — and worst of all, it won't even feel nostalgic at that point. However, there are some shortcuts to make a kitchen more 'timeless', and slow down the degradation process by avoiding certain trends and embracing some classic ideas.
