We saw the return of well loved traditional elements, as well as twists on the popular farmhouse look. See some of the best kitchens of the year and weigh in on your favorite, whether it’s the English-inspired lakehouse kitchen of Lynda Reeves, or the classic white kitchen in actress Karine Vanasse’s cosy Eastern Townships home.

A Timeless Lakehouse Kitchen
Lynda Reeves was inspired by English kitchens when renovating her wood-panelled lakehouse. The soapstone kitchen counters and brass bridge tap are timeless.
A Cool, Cali-style Kitchen In Toronto
Mediterranean minimalism meets California cool in this breezy home. Details like panelling, arches and exposed stone add personality to the pared-back kitchen.
A Whistler Cabin’s Sleek Kitchen
The homeowner of this B.C. retreat was looking for something lighter and fresher than the typical rustic elements of a ski cabin. In the open-concept kitchen, the vent hood and island were designed to be “furniture-like,” with a waterfall counter in Fior Di Bosco honed marble.
A Classic Farmhouse Kitchen in Quebec
In actor Karine Vanasse’s quaint farmhouse in Knowlton, brass cup pulls, shiplap walls and and marble counters are hallmarks of classic farmhouse style.
A Modern Kitchen In A Victorian Home
The compact kitchen in this Victorian home is updated by a wall of tiles and Serge Mouille-style sconces.
A Traditional French-style Kitchen In Toronto
A zinc vent hood has a French château feel that works beautifully with the green soapstone counters in this traditional home.
A Dramatic Kitchen In Greenwich, Connecticut
Warm putty cabinets, showstopping marble and eclectic lighting bring a dramatic look to the gracious kitchen in this clapboard home.
A Modern Farmhouse Kitchen In The Country
This renovated farmhouse is full of heritage touches with ceilings trussed in white oak beams and a floor in oversized stone tiles.
A Black & White Boathouse Kitchen In Muskoka
This board and batten boathouse has sharp black trimmed kitchen cabinets that are reminiscent of a Chanel perfume box. A quintet of pendants offers a playful moment over the island.
A Cottage Kitchen In B.C’s Half Moon Bay
In this Japandi-style cottage kitchen, granite counters and wood panelling drive home the natural beauty inside and out.
A High Contrast Toronto Kitchen
High-gloss cabinets and a bold custom vent hood keep this kitchen sleek while a black La Cornue range is a graphic focal point.
A Toronto Stylist’s Handsome Kitchen
Fashion stylist Erica Wark wanted her petite rowhouse kitchen to have a stately, sophisticated feel that connected with the rest of the house. Crown molding, an armoire-like fridge and off-centre artwork achieve the look.
