🧱 1. Define Your Kitchen Style
Before making any technical decisions, you need clarity on style:

| Modern | Clean lines, flat panels | Minimalist homes |
| Contemporary | Mixed materials | Trend-forward spaces |
| Traditional | Detailed cabinetry | Classic homes |
| Transitional | Blend of styles | Most homeowners |
✔ Tip: Transitional kitchens are the most popular because they balance warmth and modern simplicity.
