If I had to choose a favorite kitchen style, it would be the rather cool and laid-back modern classic aesthetic. The same relaxed design that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have in their family kitchen. It is a kitchen style that will transcend interior trends.
The modern classic look is appealing because it is easy and comforting. Easy because nothing is too perfect, so signs of life don’t spoil the aesthetic, which is what can happen with a super-slick, contemporary kitchen. Easy also because, in the right setting, it has a quality that won’t date. So, if you invest in a well-made version, it should last for as long as you need it to. It is comforting because it feels reassuringly familiar.
