Stools and more: here's how to choose accessories for different types of kitchens

The kitchen is the heart of the home, where meals are prepared, family time is spent, and guests are welcomed. To make it functional and welcoming, choosing the right furnishings is essential.

From materials to finishes, to decorative details, each element contributes to creating a space that reflects your style and adapts to your daily needs. However, the choice of accessories can vary depending on the type of kitchen : modern, rustic, minimalist, or classic.

Indeed, each style requires specific accessories to enhance its uniqueness and ensure comfort and practicality. Later, we'll examine the main kitchen types and provide practical advice on how to select the perfect furnishing accessories for each style.

How many and what types of kitchens are there?

Kitchens can be divided into different types, each with its own aesthetic and functional characteristics. Here are the main ones:

  • Modern kitchen : characterized by essential lines, technological materials and an often neutral colour palette, such as white, black or grey.
  • Classic kitchen : rich in decorative details and elegant finishes, it favors fine woods and warm tones such as cream or brown.
  • Rustic kitchen : inspired by tradition, it uses natural materials such as raw wood and stone, often with warm, welcoming colors.
  • Minimalist kitchen : focuses on simplicity and order, eliminating the superfluous and using neutral tones and innovative materials.
  • Industrial kitchen : with a modern, urban look, it combines metal, concrete, and wood, often enhanced by exposed elements such as pipes or iron shelving.

This variety of styles offers endless possibilities for personalising spaces, but requires care in choosing accessories that must be consistent with the chosen style.

Here's how to choose the right accessories for different types of kitchens


As mentioned, choosing the right furnishings is essential to enhancing any kitchen. Here are some practical tips for making the right choice:

- For the modern kitchen

In this case, it's ideal to opt for functional accessories with a simple design , such as minimalist LED lamps , metal stools, and glass or steel shelves. Opt for integrated appliances to maintain a tidy look, and opt for neutral colors with bright accents, such as a wall clock or a colorful vase.

- For classic cuisine

Decorative accessories like elegant curtains, metal candlesticks, and ornate ceramic tableware are perfect. For furniture, opt for brass or ceramic handles and knobs , which add a touch of sophistication. Complete with soft textiles and floral details for a cozy look.

- For rustic cuisine

Opt for accessories that highlight the naturalness of the materials, such as solid wood cutting boards , wicker baskets, and tiles with traditional patterns. Add open shelves with spice jars or copper utensils to create a warm, convivial atmosphere.

- For the minimalist kitchen

Keep things simple while taking into account the size of the kitchen , choosing accessories with simple shapes and neutral colors . Accessories such as integrated waste bins and clear countertops are essential for maintaining order and functionality.
