Wood kitchen cabinets are a popular choice for those that love a timeless or classic look – not to mention the fact wood gets better with age.

But if you think that a wooden kitchen will feel too traditional in a contemporary home, think again. We're seeing a return to wood kitchen cabinet ideas that showcase the beauty of wood in all its forms.

In recent years, there have been a number of new and interesting techniques which have reinvigorated the style and made this old staple a modern favorite. If kitchen cabinet ideas made from wood are high on your list, here are the key ways to put a fresh spin on the look.

Wood kitchen cabinet ideas

There's a spontaneity and creativity to the new look wood kitchens.

Dark and light woods are mixed together. Raw wood and full-grain timber are seeing a comeback. And we're finding designs that combine painted kitchen cabinet ideas with natural wood to create a new, relaxed mood in the heart of the home.

We spoke with kitchen designers to identify the key trends in wood kitchen cabinet design today. Which one will you choose for your next remodel?

1. Combine wood with color

‘Historically, timber was viewed as a necessity in the construction of a kitchen and consequently was often decorated with paint to hide it,’ explains Matt Prall, managing director, Papilio . ‘More recently the beauty of timber has been embraced.’

Combining exposed wood with color is a good way to ramp up the impact of a design, especially if bold and deep hues are used to contrast with the timber.

Here, the mellow beauty of cabinets in smooth lacquered quarter sawn oak are offset by doors in rich Rebecca’s Red from Francesca’s Paints and a specially mixed deep blue.

‘The timber brings an element of softness and nature which, when paired with the paint colours, brings intrigue and balance,’ says Matt.

2. Go for a wooden island

The natural beauty and warmth of wood, combined with its strength and resilience, makes it ideal for all kinds of cabinetry. But if an all-wood kitchen seems too heavy, why not celebrate its special qualities with a central feature, such as an island?

‘Wood looks better as it ages and gains even more character,’ says Giles Slater, founder and designer, Figura . It makes the material ideal when considering kitchen island ideas.

Here, European oak has been used to create a focal point, designed as the welcoming hub of the room. The warm color and beautiful grain and structure of the timber stands out against the cool blue painted tall cupboards which form the backdrop of the kitchen.

3. Add interest with ribs and ridges

One way to introduce modern character to a kitchen is to play with texture. Wood works well when layered with other natural materials, such as marble and granite kitchen countertop ideas, and can be used to provide gentle warmth when contrasted against polished steel and glass.

Slatted and ribbed textures can be used to further elevate the design, introducing three-dimensional features that catch the eye and make the room unique.

In this painted kitchen, slatted timber has been used to conceal the extractor hood above the hob. ‘

The Skog wood panelling successfully adds a sense of depth and texture to the design,’ says Sofia Bune Strandh, CEO, Sola Kitchens . ‘Skog’ is Swedish for ‘forest’, and the vertical slats are designed to resemble tall trees.

4. Go for a modern rustic look with raw grain

Timber is available in many varieties (with oak and walnut widely particularly favoured for kitchens) and in different cuts, some with consistent vertical grain, others with richly patterned results. The choice of finish, from lacquers and stains to oils and waxes, can also be used to enhance color and grain, as well as protect timber.

In this Metro Urbo kitchen in matt lacquer green sections of rough sawn oak add a rustic, homely quality. It's a lovely approach to green kitchen ideas.

‘By using wood in a kitchen with contemporary cabinetry and tiled flooring, you can avoid the space feeling clinical,’ explains Oli Moss, senior designer, Roundhouse.

5. Opt for a timeless timber

Recyclable and renewable, timber from sustainably managed forests makes it a more environmentally friendly choice than many other materials – another reason that its natural beauty is being celebrated in today’s sustainable kitchens.

‘deVOL has always been careful to use sustainably sourced wood for all our furniture,’ says Helen Parker, creative director for the company. This, along with careful craftsmanship, ensures that timber kitchens should last. ‘They are very appealing to people looking for something that will stand the test of time, both practically and in timeless design,’ she adds.

Let it shine in designs that showcase its individual grain and honey-colored tones, like this unique kitchen inspired by mid-century haberdashery counters, handmade in oak. A bespoke aged copper counter introduces another layer of warmth, while cool Estremoz marble worktops and painted walls, floor and ceiling provide light contrast and bring a fresh feel to this country kitchen.

6. Go for the perfect blend

This highly layered kitchen was created by US-based designer Studio Jake Arnold . ‘We wanted to preserve the charm of this Los Angeles home, and this kitchen emits an amazing combination of old world and modern elements,’ says Jake. ‘The tones of the wood cabinetry and the skinny floorboards are the perfect contrast to the exposed beams, while the ogee edge of the stone countertop adds fine detail. '

7. Choose a dark wood for drama

The traditional hues and craftsmanship of antique furniture have been deftly brought up to date with the introduction of contemporary lines and detailing.

Here, Cesar’s Intarsio range takes its inspiration from traditional marquetry to create doors with distinctive cross direction veneers that are paired with dark marble and other luxury materials to create a unique kitchen.

8. Add a fluted finish for texture and depth

(Image credit: Sola Kitchens)

Three-dimensional surfaces that shift with the light bring a modern twist to wood in the kitchen. ‘Combined with sleek flat-fronted doors in crisp white, thin vertical wood slats provide texture and depth, enhancing the tension between plain and pattern,’ explains Sofia Bune Strandh, CEO, Sola Kitchens .

SKOG, meaning 'forest' in Swedish, is the name given to this striking new wood-focused design from Sola Kitchens. ‘It’s called SKOG partly because the wooden slats resemble the outlines of trees, but also the name reflects the embracement of natural materials – a typical quality of Scandinavian design,’ she adds.

Beautifully grained timber is the highlight of this chic well-crafted kitchen, bringing character to the open-plan space. ‘The industrial look is key here,’ says Simon Boocock, managing director of CRL Quartz . ‘The Ceralsio Slate Grey ceramic surface, with its textured finish, is hardwearing and easy to care for.'

10. Take a modern approach with sleek surfaces

(Image credit: deVOL)

Taking timber in a contemporary direction requires a considered approach to avoid missing out on wood’s natural beauty. TR Studio chose deVOL ’s Sebastian Cox range, featuring cabinetry in black stained beech.

‘We really like to use wood in a very calm way in kitchens. You can maintain clean lines and use sleek surfaces, but wood itself brings craft and texture, both visual and tactile,’ says Tom Rutt, founder, TR Studio.

‘We love how this kitchen strikes the balance between traditional and contemporary. It is clearly a real solid timber door, but the colour makes it abstracted and adds a modernity.’

11. Turn to reclaimed for a more unique and sustainable look

(Image credit: Tom Fallon)

Reclaimed wood has clear environmental benefits, not to mention unique historic appeal. Often associated with very rustic, timeworn kitchen styles and designs, this version by salvage specialists Retrouvius demonstrates a more sophisticated approach. Made from old timber shelving, the geometric door fronts are beautifully executed for maximum impact.

‘Our salvaged tropical hardwoods were used in the areas where the main cooking action takes place,’ says Maria Speake, founder, Retrouvius. ‘Brilliant for backsplashes and countertops, the wood is innately water resistant, hardwearing and the odd splash of oil from cooking all adds to the timbers own natural oiliness and is absorbed to help protect the wood. ’

12. Mimic freestanding furniture

(Image credit: Elizabeth Sherwin)

Keeping timber use below eye level is more peripheral so won’t overpower. It can also appear less ‘kitcheny’.

‘Using oak kitchen cabinet worktops and wrapping the drawer units in the same oak creates a modular look, more akin to a living room sideboard,’ explains Jayne Everett, co-founder, Naked Kitchens . ‘We wanted each wood section to mimic a piece of freestanding furniture – far removed from a standard fitted kitchen.’

White American Oak was chosen for its robust, tightly knitted grain and soft washed tones. The timber was finished in a specialist Nano coating to provide resilience without altering the wood’s natural look.

13. Pick flat-front cabinetry for mid-century appeal

(Image credit: Caesarstone)

If your aim in designing your kitchen is to create a space that feels less like a cook station and more like a living space – where you happen to create meals – a pared-back approach to design might appeal.

Flat-fronted wooden kitchen cabinetry is easy to live with, enduringly timeless – and can come with a ton of character if you choose a timber or finish with a noticeable grain or texture. Handleless cabinetry will work best with flush door designs – and can even set the scene for a subtle, mid-century feel.

14. Combine wood kitchen cabinetry with antique wood furniture

(Image credit: Bert & May)

If you want to create an eclectic look that focusses on wood kitchen cabinet ideas, one way to do so is to combine new cabinetry with antique furniture. This eclectic kitchen by Bert & May has freestanding wooden units with a hand-crafted quality, combined with a mahogany cabinet with a glass front that creates a further unique dimension in this kitchen.

15. Focus on the kitchen island

(Image credit: Harvey Jones)

The kitchen island is inevitably the center of a kitchen's layout – and you can draw further attention to it by contrasting its color or material with the rest of the units in the room.

Melissa Klink, creative director at Harvey Jones explains why wood is a wonderful choice for the kitchen island:

‘Using reclaimed wood adds an interesting story to the kitchen space. Any material that has an organic influence helps to ground the room and provide an instant sense of calm, and reclaimed wood is warm and full of rich detail. The look is beautifully unique and something you cannot recreate using new material.’

Are wood kitchen cabinets out of style?

Wood kitchen cabinets are enduringly stylish, and designs using sustainably produced or reclaimed woods are more popular than ever. What has changed is the design of wood kitchen cabinetry: fluting, unusual, textured finishes and inlay are at the forefront of kitchen trends right now.

What goes with wood kitchen cabinets?

Wood cabinets are wonderful with a wide array of complementing materials and colors. You can use both dark and light woods with pale marble countertops for a contemporary appeal, and combine wood cabinetry with other woods to create a richly textured space. Our advice: don't choose colors or materials that compete with the tones and texture of the wood – let them be the star of the show.

What is the most popular wood for kitchen cabinets?

The most popular wood for kitchen cabinets include: oak; cherry; hickory; pine and maple. The best choice for your kitchen might, however, be a locally sourced wood, which will really complement your home and the other materials within your kitchen.

Kitchens in mixed woods are also a popular trend for the year ahead – both within the cabinetry, and cabinetry/countertop combinations.

How do I care for a wood kitchen?

Always follow your supplier’s specific maintenance and cleaning instructions for your kitchen furniture.

Wooden kitchen doors are often finished with a lacquer to protect against staining and scuffing, so typically there won’t be much upkeep – a simple wipe down with a clean and soft damp cloth should suffice.

Be sure to wipe up spills when they happen as delay may cause the acidic ingredients of food to react with the lacquer and ultimately strip the doors of their protective finish.

Do not allow water to remain in prolonged contact with wood, as this may cause staining and warping.

Some cupboard doors may require re-polishing with a clear, natural spray wax to keep them looking their best: follow manufacturer’s guidelines.

Wood-look kitchen design: ideas and photos

Modern kitchen furniture manufacturers offer many design options for kitchen units. You can choose the one that suits your interior.

All-wooden kitchen

Wood-look kitchen in the interior of a country house looks especially harmonious, regardless of the shade - light, dark or red. This is due to the fact that a completely wooden set looks massive: there should be a lot of air and light in the room so that the furniture does not “press” on the psyche. Therefore, designers advise using wood in large volumes in spacious country kitchens and in apartments with a large area. Another way to balance the intensity of the wood is to paint the walls in a light shade and choose white dining furniture.

Combined set

A great way to fit a wooden kitchen into the interior is to combine different textures, highlight only some parts of the set with wood.

Woodgrain base cabinets bring the kitchen down to earth, making the bottom of the kitchen more solid and solid. An interior in which the bottom of the kitchen and the dining area are made of wood of the same shade. But with the choice of flooring in this case, you need to be more careful: if you want to use a wooden floor and wood-like lower cabinets, the shades of the two materials should be harmonious. Before buying, be sure to put the floor board and the facade sample side by side. If you don't want to make a mistake, choose a neutral tile.

A kitchen, the interior of which is made of natural wood, is a real decoration of any home. Many housewives dream of having such a place in their home. It is filled with comfort and warmth, such a kitchen always remains relevant and stylish.

Wooden facades are suitable for those who do not want to exchange the luxury and warmth of natural wood for trendy plastic and aluminum.

In addition, the tree is highly environmentally friendly. The headset made of this material looks respectable, expensive and noble. Such furniture is able to serve for a long time, while remaining durable, reliable and attractive in appearance.

Contents

Despite the cheapness and availability of furniture made of chipboard and MDF, furniture made of solid wood remains as popular and in demand as it was many years ago.

The secret of such success lies in the unique qualities of this natural material:

Wooden furniture looks very respectable and solid, it creates an indescribable atmosphere in the house, and also emphasizes the status of the home owners. This natural material is the true embodiment of beauty, reliability, high quality and durability. If the tree is well processed, the furniture from it will last for many years, retaining all its original characteristics.
Natal wood has high aesthetic properties. Thanks to the huge variety of textures and shades of wood, it is not difficult to find the perfect furniture that matches personal tastes. Thanks to the unique natural pattern, any items made of solid wood are unique and one of a kind.
If the wood is properly looked after and constantly maintained in the kitchen at the optimum temperature, eliminating dampness, then wooden furniture will serve for a very long time (at least 50 years).
The solid wood kitchen is sustainable. It is safe for humans and does not cause allergic reactions. All that the household will feel, constantly staying in such a room, is the pleasant aroma of natural resins, which has a beneficial effect on the body.
Regardless of the vagaries of fashion and its transience, solid wood furniture always remains at the peak of popularity, it is highly valued and is a true decoration of any home.

When choosing natural wood furniture for your own kitchen, you should remember some of its features:

Install wooden furniture away from radiators and other heat sources. Natural wood is too sensitive to prolonged exposure to thermal energy, it can dry out and crack over time.
It is very important to ensure the proper care of such furniture - you need to buy special products that will allow it to retain its attractive appearance for a long time.
It is important to understand that furniture made of solid wood cannot be cheap, and to purchase it, you will have to pay a considerable amount. However, given all the advantages of such furniture, this investment should be considered successful.

What interior styles should wooden furniture be chosen for? All items, from ordinary chairs to cabinets for storing kitchen utensils, should be as simple as possible.

It is necessary that the whole atmosphere is associated with rustic comfort, do not overload it with design innovations and exclusive things.

Solid oak kitchen set in country style – practical and rich looking.

It is recommended to combine wood with other natural materials: natural stone, ceramics, natural textiles. Wood furniture can be painted white, but the natural look of wood will also look very organic.

Provence style kitchen - wooden furniture will become a true decoration of such an interior. You should choose more elegant things - a round table with curved legs and such chairs for it, a beautiful sideboard with an old tea set, a light shelf for dishes.

The main task of the Provencal decor is to create a calm rustic coziness and comfort.

Pay special attention to the little things and decorate the kitchen with nice trinkets: figurines, vases, candlesticks, and so on.

Mediterranean-style kitchen - simple wooden furniture painted in white, light gray or pale blue is most suitable for arranging such an interior.

Despite the abundance of furniture and decorations, the Mediterranean kitchen should be spacious.

High-quality textiles will help create the appropriate atmosphere: light linen curtains, a snow-white tablecloth, soft pillows on the sofa, a large lampshade over the dining table. Do not overload such an interior with decorative elements, as it should be quite concise.

Rustic kitchen - when arranging such an interior, wooden furniture is indispensable. It can be quite rough and simple. The presence of things from the "grandmother's attic" is welcome: it can be an old massive chest, an old sideboard, a rough bench, and the like.

Rustic style usually uses natural wood for finishing.

The decoration of such a kitchen will be simple earthenware on the shelves and short chintz curtains on the windows.

Classic style kitchen - when creating such an interior, you should give preference to elegant furniture made of natural wood. It will go well with expensive textiles and antique tableware.

Natural wooden facade made of knotless furniture panels will fit well into a classic style kitchen.

Gilding is welcome, as well as carved elements on the facades of the headset. There is no place for synthetic cheap materials in such a kitchen.

Light wood in the interior of the kitchen

A kitchen set made of light wood is perfect for arranging a small kitchen. It will visually enlarge the room, make it brighter and more spacious. However, it must be remembered that it will be necessary to take care of such furniture more carefully, since all minor scratches and all kinds of dirt, which simply cannot be avoided in the kitchen, will be visible on a light surface.

White kitchen interior with golden patina.

The best shades for creating a harmonious kitchen interior: natural wood color, beige, light gray, white, pastel, coffee with milk, ivory. The decoration of the kitchen will be light textiles - light curtains on the windows, a lace tablecloth, and the like.

Dark wood in the interior of the kitchen

Stylish and practical dark wood kitchen.

A set made of dark shades of wood looks very noble and expensive. It is ideal for arranging a kitchen in a classic style. The facades of such furniture can be decorated with carvings and gilding. It will go well with heavy curtains on the windows, a massive bronze chandelier, and expensive porcelain.

A dark-colored set should be chosen if the kitchen is spacious enough. It will go well with materials such as porcelain stoneware, natural stone, glass. A kitchen with such furniture already looks self-sufficient and stylish, so you should not overload it with numerous decorative elements.

Selection of furniture for the kitchen set made of wood

Table - it is desirable that this piece of furniture also be made of solid wood. Its shape can be any: round, rectangular, square, oval. It is important that the table fits the size of the room and is combined with the overall interior.

The most popular protection option is varnishing, which will last 5-7 years.

A more familiar finish is a water-repellent wax or oil. But it absorbs odors and does not tolerate stains.

The model of a round or oval dining table, mounted on one massive carved leg, looks very good - this piece of furniture will become a real decoration of the kitchen-living room, made in a classic style. If the room is small, you can choose lighter models. Their color can be either dark or light.

Chairs - designers advise choosing them in such a way as to create a single ensemble with the table. In the furniture store you can buy a ready-made kit. If necessary, chairs can be made to order. They should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable.

Classic chairs made from natural ingredients.

Recently, light Viennese chairs are in fashion again, which are perfectly combined with Provence, Shabby Chic, Mediterranean and Classic styles. Massive wooden chairs with high backs will look quite appropriate in combination with a wooden set.

Selection of curtains for a wooden kitchen

When creating a kitchen interior with solid wood furniture, it is necessary to choose the appropriate textiles for it. For rooms in Provence, rustic and country styles, light short curtains of light shades are ideal - it can be linen, chintz, cambric.

In a Mediterranean-style kitchen, long curtains made of light silk, also in light colors, will look very harmonious. The decoration of the classic interior will be heavy curtains made of satin, velvet, silk. You can also pick up an elegant organza tulle flowing down with numerous folds.

Fabrics with a vertical wide strip will help to stretch low windows, and visually expand the wall with a horizontal accent.

Wall decoration in the kitchen with wooden furniture

In this case, it is recommended to give preference to natural finishes. It is best to refuse the use of traditional washable wallpaper. An excellent solution would be to decorate the walls with decorative plaster. You can also just paint the walls by choosing light-colored paint.

Wall decoration in the kitchen requires careful selection of materials.

You should not choose ceramic tiles for finishing such a kitchen, which will simplify the interior too much. In the decoration of kitchens made in the style of Provence, country, shabby chic and rustic, you can use dark-colored wooden panels installed against the background of snow-white walls.

Ceiling and floor finishes

For ceiling finishes, you can choose the most traditional materials such as drywall. An excellent option would also be a stretch ceiling - matte or glossy. As for its color, you should make a choice in favor of the classic white shade.

The most important point when choosing a ceiling covering is the quality and durability of the materials from which it is made.

A variety of materials can be used for flooring: natural wood, parquet, porcelain stoneware, ceramic tiles, laminate. You should abandon such an inexpensive material as linoleum. It is also important to take into account the overall interior of the room - for example, a floor made of light porcelain stoneware is suitable for a classic-style kitchen.

To reduce the danger of using ceramic tiles, you need to choose varieties with a rough texture for the floor.

When arranging a kitchen in a rustic or country style, you can choose a regular wooden board for finishing the floor. Parquet will decorate the kitchen, furnished in the style of Mediterranean, shabby chic or Provence.

Organization of lighting in a wooden kitchen

If a kitchen with a wooden set and the same furniture is spacious enough, then the organization of lighting can be approached in a big way. For example, in its very center you can install a massive crystal chandelier (one- or two-level). A chandelier of a suspended structure, stylized as a large chandelier, with light bulbs installed in it in the form of candles, will look great.

When planning how to decorate the lighting in the kitchen, it is worth considering a separate connection (in parts) of the overhead lighting - this is convenient, practical and saves energy.

We must not forget about additional lighting - designers advise using several wall sconces made in the form of the same candles. The best materials for a chandelier that will be combined with wooden furniture are bronze, crystal, glass and ceramics.
