			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>When you are thinking of renovating your kitchen, consider your kitchen furniture styles, too. There is more to choose from than you could possibly have imagined. There are as many styles of tables, chairs, side tables, highboys, and cabinetry as there are home styles.</p>
<p>Here are some of the numerous kitchen styles you may choose as well as tasteful design tips to aid you as you complete your perfect new kitchen with just the right furniture.</p>
<p>Cottage style kitchens draw their inspiration from the simple honesty of smaller, older homes built in the&#8217;20&#8242;s. You will typically find cabinets made of wainscoting (beaded board) and clean, simple lines. Many kitchens use open shelving, windows with small panes, shutters, and wood flooring.</p>
<p>A Shaker style kitchen is always functional and clean with a simple design. Cabinets are usually cherry, though other woods are popular. Some craftsmen make cabinets and kitchen furniture from &#8220;reclaimed&#8221; or recycled wood that has been salvaged from an older building. Expect to pay more for the effort but you get instant antique cabinetry and kitchen furniture in return.</p>
<p>Mission style kitchens and kitchen furniture have a solid, rectangular design. The style began in the&#8217;20&#8242;s and is still popular today. Mission style is typified by rectangular panels and natural wood finishes though original woodwork has often long since been painted. If you are refurbishing an older mission style kitchen, you may wish to go through the process of stripping the paint to reveal the solid wood beneath. Besides the cabinets, mission style furniture is available for kitchens &#8212; mission style tables and chairs. Similar, though subtly different, styles include craftsman and arts and crafts kitchen furniture.</p>
<p>Do you like country flair? Think bright, cheerful paint, wallpapers, and windows hung with curtains of chintz or calico. Clever cabinet door treatments eschew glass in favor of pierced tin panels or even chicken wire. Ceiling beams hung with antiques add a nice touch. Country kitchen furniture can go to either extreme: simple and functional, or frilly and decorative.</p>
<p>Should you be designing a contemporary kitchen, you will be thinking in a Scandinavian idiom. Choose clean, spare lines and lots of chrome and laminates. Functionality is the byword. The contemporary kitchen&#8217;s furniture should be striking in its simplicity. The best source we have found for contemporary kitchen furniture is Ikea. Treat yourself with a visit to an Ikea store.</p>
<p>Rustic kitchens and rustic kitchen furniture are our favorite theme. We love large, chunky furniture, often with dark stains or paint. Look for sturdy, almost over-built kitchen tables and chairs. Hardware is often hand-wrought iron. Decorate with copper pots and pans and painted tiles. You can buy antique storage units at premium prices, or shop contemporary stores for excellent look-alikes.</p>
<p>You will find many more kitchen furniture styles available because there are as many styles for the kitchen as there are for the rest of the home. We suggest you browse online to get an idea of the scope and scale of what is available &#8212; you will be amazed! Start your search by Googling &#8220;Kitchen Furniture Styles.&#8221; Set some time aside, take notes, and enjoy yourself!</p>
