So you want something timeless-but-on trend and elegant-but-simple? Then you're probably after what interior designers call Transitional Style (also known as "classic with a contemporary twist").
It's about blending traditional and contemporary styles and incorporating lines that are less ornate than traditional designs, but not as crisp as contemporary lines. As a result, transitional furniture designs are classic, timeless, and clean.What does transitional style look like for kitchen cabinetry? We popped some pictures of IKAN projects featuring a transitional cabinet door style that's very popular right now.

Simple and sophisticated.
