I have had several people tell me a certain style they want, and end up going a completely different route. It’s not that they don’t know what they like, but its is hard to communicate certain styles.
So i put a few kitchens together so you can kinda see the differences between certain styles. Things can get a little tricky in design, and there is room to debate on a lot of different styles, so as long as you aren’t taking this and going to get into a debate with a certain design style enthusiast, this should be a handy guide.
Side note: I like to tell people you don’t have to fit in a certain niche, and always go with what you like, there is a huge grey area in the right and wrong in design style. Of course you can just have bad design that makes your life harder in spaces. But that is a whole other topic.
