Laundry Cabinet

White or Cream Cabinetry
This is a style that almost everyone feels comfortable in, even some of the modernists among us. White or cream cabinets provide a classic look that stands the test of time.

Simple Architectural Details
You may see legs on islands, feet or furniture-style toekicks, crown molding and even a paneled hood, but these details are often restrained in a classic kitchen rather than being over the top and ornate.

Honed Black Countertops
Classic kitchens often go the timeless route with blacks or whites. One tried-and-true classic feature is a black countertop, whether it’s honed absolute black granite, soapstone or a cast quartz material.

White Marble Countertops
Carrara marble and Calacatta marble are the two that really stand out in classic kitchens. In fact, marble countertops are often the focal point of a classic kitchen. Even though many homeowners know there are maintenance issues with marble, they can’t resist its beauty.

White Subway Tile
It really doesn’t matter what size, though the classic is 3 by 6 inches. It can be glossy, crackle, beveled or square edged, handmade or machine made, or even in white marble. If you’re looking for a twist on the classic, try a 2 by 6 or 2 by 8 or 2 by 4 - the proportions can really change the look of your kitchen, as can the grout color.

Simple Door Styles, Not Too Modern, Not Too Ornate
Another aspect that defines this look is the cabinet door style - often either a simple Shaker door or a Shaker door with a bead molding. You don’t see a lot of raised panel doors (of the sort often found in traditional kitchens) or flat-panel doors typically seen in modern kitchens.
