Modern kitchen in a traditional house
What do you think about remodeling a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and modern cabinets when the rest of our house is decorated in a more traditional way? Will it look out of place or is it ok to mix styles?
Sure you can but I would caution on the use of overly modern cabinets,the stainless and granite are every bit traditional and would look great with a more traditional cabinet.
The reason is that you will want a seamless flow of styles from family room to dining room to kitchen particularly when it comes to resale
There is ways of incorporating traditional touches to modern kitchens you just have to be careful and creative. For example, the crown is traditional, then your doors should only have like 1/8" revile and no molding or router edges (modern look), then the bottom you might get creative and get your cabinet maker to make you a fancy traditional piece of wood going across the bottom edge of your upper wall cabinets.
The same for the base cabinets, 1/8" revile all around, plain doors and drawer fronts, with a traditional bottom piece going across. You might want maybe make it look like a piece of furniture by putting that traditional bottom piece and some legs. He is probably going to have to give it a bit of a higher toe kick so it could rely get that furniture piece look.
