The Essence of Classic Kitchens
Classic kitchens aren't just about following the latest fad. Instead, they're about creating a timeless design that blends elegance with long-lasting appeal. Hallmarks of classic kitchens include:
-
Shaker or traditional style cabinetry with clean lines and subtle detailing.
-
Kitchen colour palettes can be tailored to the style of your home allowing you to play with soft greens, greys, neutral colours or gentle blues. Find out more about kitchen colour trends here.
-
Natural worktops such as quartz, granite, or solid wood. Read more about worktops here.
-
Timeless features including Belfast sinks, range cookers, and traditional handles.
This style works beautifully in Cornish homes because it feels both familiar and fresh, perfectly suited to the local lifestyle.
Key Features of Classic Kitchens
Cornwall is known for its characterful architecture and strong sense of heritage that's why so many homeowners choose to buy here. A classic kitchen design complements this perfectly, offering flexibility in design, seamless style across old and new homes, and durability for family living. Most importantly, a classic kitchen never feels dated – it evolves with your home and your family needs. When planning your new kitchen in Cornwall, here are the design elements that give classic kitchens their timeless feel:
Traditional Cabinets
Simple yet elegant, shaker-style doors are the foundation of many classic kitchens. Their versatile design means they can be styled with traditional or modern finishes.

Adding Cornish Character to Classic Kitchens
One of the joys of designing classic kitchens in Cornwall is the chance to reflect the county's unique character within your home. Cornwall is renowned for its rich heritage, breathtaking coastline and rural charm, and many homeowners love to subtly weave these influences into their kitchen design. Coastal-inspired tones – from muted greens and soft sea blues to wood and sandy neutrals, bring the beauty of the Cornish landscape indoors – all whilst beautifully complementing a timeless classic kitchen style.

'A Big thank you to Now Kitchens.
In the middle of a new build, with brain fog from looking at too many kitchens,
we popped into the Now Kitchen showroom in Helston and met the wonderful Christine.
She talked us through the different styles on show, budgets and a rough idea of our wish list.
We left the rest to her. The design she came up with was just perfect.
Both the kitchen and utility look fantastic and works well with the open plan design.
The quality of the cupboards, worktops (from Duke stone) and appliances are second to none.
Everything delivered and fitted on time. The fitter was a true craftsmen and a pleasure to have on site.
Being a decorator myself I have seen my share of new build sites / kitchens and I would place Now Kitchens as one of the best I have seen and worked with.
So pleased we went with them and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new kitchen.
Thank you Now Kitchens.'
