Below is listed a general kitchen style guide:

Contemporary Style Kitchen

Contemporary Kitchens
Contemporary or modern kitchen design tends to be minimalist and geometric. Characteristics include horizontal lines, asymmetry and a lack of moulding and other ornamentation. Materials often are man-made rather than natural: stainless steel, laminate, frosted glass inserts, chrome and lacquer.

Country Style Kitchens

Country Kitchens
Country kitchen design tends to be welcoming, with light and/or bright colours, painted and glazed cabinets with wire or metal inserts, woven baskets, floral motifs, and decorative shelving and moulding. Essentially a cottage or farmhouse style associated with the look of a traditional English, French or Tuscan country kitchen.

Old World Style Kitchen

Old World Kitchens
Old World kitchen design styling encompasses a wide range of design themes, including Tuscan, Mediterranean, medieval, Castle, French Chateau, Italian Villa, and Normandy or Dutch cottage. A grand but worn look - distressed, unfitted cabinets, and large kitchen range. Also natural materials such as stone floors, mosaic tiles, brick or plaster walls and pewter or copper accents.

Traditional Style Kitchen

Traditional Kitchens
Traditional kitchen design tends to be both formal and elegant, but also practical. The design styles take their characteristics from Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian, Regency, and Italianate. Appearance wise, more ornate mouldings; elegant cabinets in cherry, walnut and mahogany; and antique fixtures.

Transitional Styled Kitchen

Transitional Kitchens
Transitional kitchen design tends to be eclectic mixing elements of both traditional and contemporary design. Such as natural and man-made materials as well as finishes and textures. Moulding and fixtures aren't elaborate but do have some ornamentation.
