How to choose a kitchen style

Start with the house

Match the kitchen to the architecture. Shaker and transitional suit older homes; modern, minimalist, and Japandi suit newer, simpler ones. Open-plan kitchens should agree with the living space they face.

Decide how long you'll stay

Selling within five years? Transitional, white, and Shaker are the safest for resale. Staying put? Choose what you love, from Art Deco to Boho.

Pick the big surface first

Cabinets cover the most area, so choose their color and door style first. Then a countertop that contrasts, a backsplash that bridges the two, and one metal finish.

Test it on your own room

Styles look different in your light and layout. Try three or four on a photo of your kitchen before you visit a showroom.
