Small Kitchen Renovation Ideas: Transitional Style
If you’re planning a small kitchen renovation, the transitional style is a popular choice. Combining contemporary and classic elements, it creates a clean, functional, and stylish space. Here’s how to pull off the look.

The transitional style is characterised by neutral finishes, clean architectural lines, and versatility for different layouts. Unlike traditional kitchens, it draws inspiration from other areas of the home.
In the example below, vibrant blue cabinets are balanced with neutral walls and finishes. The open layout gives the kitchen a spacious, airy feel.

Cabinets & Countertops
To achieve the transitional look, eliminate clutter and avoid overly busy patterns. Storage is essential, so invest in large cabinets. Woodgrain or painted wood cabinetry is common in this style.
Countertops are usually quartz or quartzite for a sleek finish. Waterfall countertops on an island, which extend vertically down the sides, add elegance.

Transitional Flooring & Lighting
Pendant lighting is iconic in transitional kitchens. Delicate pendants complement other stylistic elements, such as open shelving or cabinetry accents.
Wood or plank-style flooring anchors the space, bringing warmth and a traditional touch. Wood accents above the range can also draw the eye subtly.

Timeless Appliances
Neutral colour schemes make appliances stand out. Stainless steel is common, though neutral panels behind appliances can help them blend in.
