Modern-Traditional Kitchen: The Best of Both Worlds in Central Texas

A modern, traditional kitchen featuring both function and beauty.

Design & Build by East 9th


At East 9th, we understand the allure of a modern-traditional kitchen—an elegant fusion of timeless craftsmanship and contemporary comfort. This style marries classic details like crown molding, shaker-style cabinets, and symmetrical layouts with sleek, open-concept design and modern functionality.

Key Elements We Love:

  • Shaker Cabinets & Paneled Range Hoods: Clean, elegant lines that nod to tradition, enhanced with custom molding for a refined look.

  • Open Layout & Kitchen Islands: Our kitchens are designed with U- or L-shaped floor plans and expansive islands or worktable-style islands—perfect for family gatherings and casual entertaining.

  • Material Mix for Warmth & Durability: We pair natural wood, stone, and classic subway tile with soft neutral palettes for texture and timeless appeal.

  • Symmetry & Balance: From flanking cabinets to centered range hoods, every element is thoughtfully placed to create calm, orderly beauty.

A modern-traditional kitchen by East 9th combines the grace of classic design with the ease of modern living. Imagine a space where architectural charm meets state-of-the-art appliances, surrounded by natural materials and an inviting flow perfect for modern Texas life.
