Old world

For every person that loves contemporary kitchen design, with its clean lines and minimalist image, there's another person that prefers old world kitchen design, with all its rustic and gothic appeal.

An old world kitchen design can be very cold and industrial if not done correctly, so here are a few ideas to help you achieve that old world look without sacrificing on visual appeal.

Lighting in an old world kitchen is important as it is any kitchen, but with this particular style of design, the light fittings are normally a main feature. Low hanging lights and chandeliers are often used to create the desired old world image.

Lights aren't usually the only thing hanging from the ceilings in an old world kitchen design. Pots, pans and other cooking utensils are normally suspended on hooks and hanging storage. This is because back when the sole purpose of a kitchen was to be functional, everything was always stored close to hand.

Wood and stone are the best materials to use for an old world kitchen design simply because, that's what these materials are. Metallic objects should be kept to a minimum if you want to maintain an authentic old world image. Stone tiled floors are great if you can afford to outlay, but wood is a cheaper alternative that still works.

We've got more information on old world kitchen design listed below and have also listed some of the leading online suppliers of products and services to help you with your new kitchen design.
