• Classic modular kitchens in line: these are the ideal types of kitchens for narrow and long spaces as the minimum space required is 360 cm. Their location can be either along a single wall, or along two mirror walls (double linear kitchens), with the cooking and washing areas positioned close together.
• Classic modular kitchens with island: larger spaces allowing great freedom of movement and allowing cooking in the center of the kitchen facing the surrounding environment. The island can generally have various functions: either that of housing a sink and hob, or it can be used only as a countertop for food processing.
• Classic modular kitchens with peninsula: especially suitable in modern environments to accommodate the layout of the living room and kitchen in a single open space.
  Nowadays there are also modular kitchens in classic style with elements with more modern shapes and lines suitable for the configuration with peninsula, or there are also some where inside there are elements with the right and appropriate mix between classic and modern style.
  Therefore, the kitchen that also becomes a living room separates the living room from the cooking area and appliances in the same room, without the need to separate the walls or other dividing furniture. In the modular models, the peninsula can become a dining table, or a hob and washing area, rather than a worktop.
• Classic corner modular kitchens: they are compositions equipped with angular and functional elements, they are elements that allow you to make the most of small spaces but also if the environment is large. These models must be designed ad hoc to perfectly adapt to the spaces in which they are inserted.

How to arrange your classic modular kitchen

The layout of modern modular kitchens naturally depend on the surface available, when spaces are reduced in many cases the kitchen is reduced to a small space dedicated to the cooking area.
In most of these cases, the most suitable solution is to arrange the furniture on one side and choose wall units that develop in height in order to make the most of the available space. Furthermore, since there is little space available, opt for light colors, such as to make the kitchen brighter and lighter.

But the most important properties that small kitchens must have are practicality and functionality, that is, you will have to be careful in choosing the essential appliances first, and opting for the opening of space-saving sliding doors instead of hinged doors.
For larger spaces, on the other hand, the solutions that can be adopted for obvious reasons are many and you can give vent to your imagination by going to island solutions with the hob and sink in the center with the wall units and bases close to the walls in order to leave great freedom of movement. .
Or choose peninsula solutions for modern environments where the layout of the kitchen blends with that of the living room in a single open space without dividing walls.

Classic modular kitchens, a timeless style

The types of traditional classic style kitchens are generally characterized by square shapes with warm and soft colors such as slate, anthracite black, cream, ivory, etc. These combinations allow to furnish the environment always with that warm and always fascinating imprint with the unique, sober and unmistakable chromaticity typical of this style.
In classic modular kitchens unlike the modern modular kitchens, are practically eliminated all those furnishing elements with soft and rounded shapes such as, for example, the typical refrigerators of the fifties, sometimes even with excessively bright colors.
Despite the trend, in recent times it is to focus on modern modular kitchens, differently from what one might believe, today they can to combine very well the elements with different styles such as the classic and modern ones with excellent aesthetic results, as long as certain precautions are taken.
In fact, today on the market there are classic modular kitchens with more modern shapes and lines in a certain sense more "contaminated" towards the modern style.
If while in the case of traditional kitchens it was preferred to arrange the furnishing elements on a single wall or, alternatively, in a horseshoe (U) or corner (L) wall, now they can also be arranged by configuring them a peninsula, a configuration that was little used in the traditional one.
