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.
