Timeless Kitchen Design
Classic Kitchen Renovations
Kitchen design trends come and go, but there are some timeless kitchen designs that don’t go out of style (even when the phones and TVs do).
At Sylvestre Remodeling, we’ve been designing and remodeling kitchens for over 50 years. In that time, we’ve seen trends come and go—but certain designs never seem to go out of style. While design fads may fade, timeless kitchens are built to last, with features that endure long after the latest tech—whether it’s phones or TVs—has been upgraded. Let’s explore some timeless kitchen designs, from the early 2000s to today, and why they’ll continue to be classics in the future.
The Early 2000s
Even two decades later, kitchens designed in the early 2000s still feel relevant. These designs focused on classic cabinetry and architectural details that unify the kitchen with the rest of the home. By avoiding overly “trendy” choices, these kitchens have maintained their appeal—and preserved the homeowners’ remodeling investments. The key to their lasting power lies in simplicity and functionality, elements that never go out of style.
The 2010s
Fast forward to the 2010s, where a galley-style layout shows its timeless nature. Craftsman-inspired cabinetry adds warmth and character, creating a space that feels both cozy and practical. Features like divided-light windows, which bring in natural light and frame beautiful views, elevate this design. It’s a perfect example of how blending traditional craftsmanship with smart design choices creates kitchens that stand the test of time.
Today
Now, in today’s world of evolving tastes, we still see kitchens rooted in timeless design. Take, for example, a recent project where quarter-sawn oak cabinets were chosen. This design choice reminded the homeowners of their former Craftsman-style kitchen in St. Paul that we remodeled 20 years ago! The classic oak adds a touch of history while seamlessly fitting into their modern home. It’s proof that certain materials and styles remain beloved across generations.

The Future and Beyond
Looking ahead, we see homeowners continuing to design their kitchens around how they want to live, incorporating personal touches while holding on to timeless elements. Whether it’s a space designed for family gatherings, cooking classes, or something uniquely yours, the best kitchens blend functionality with personal style. By mixing classic design with modern needs, future kitchens will feel both fresh and timeless for years to come.
