Kitchens are undergoing transformation with the new age living. Gone are the days when kitchens were just a place to prepare meals and serve them. Kitchens are built in a variety of styles these days to suit the taste and lifestyles of homeowners. Some varieties of kitchen styles include the Shaker-style kitchen, small white kitchen, contemporary kitchen, Classic black and white kitchen, Country corner kitchen and traditional wood kitchen.

In shaker style kitchens, the units are simple, white roundhouse with shaker style doors. This modern country kitchen has hinges, which are sleek and exposed. The counter worktops are Kashmir white granite. The flooring is of oak wood and helps highlight the white unit. The small white kitchen style has a Rangemaster cooker, like the Rangemaster Classic 90 Deluxe cooker, and the island unit is sturdy and from Barratts Garden centre. Elmridge Gardens has provided the silk flowers, which have been tacked to the ceiling.

The contemporary kitchen style has walls with built in stainless steel cupboards that come with frosted glass doors. The floor consists of polished stone tiles. The dining table is of dark wood and the chairs are textured and curved with metal legs. The room has a large round mirror and shelving units help divide the space.

The country corner kitchen comes with white painted cabinetry built around the chimney. There is a granite worktop and the wooden flooring with a border around its edge gives a classic and elegant appearance to the kitchen.

The traditional wooden kitchen comes with an elegantly fashioned marble granite island, which provides a classical style look to the kitchen. A chandelier that hangs overhead adds opulence to the room. There are traditional wooden cabinets with glass doors.
