There's something to be said about simplifying things in the kitchen. Simple design and decoration never go out of style. For anyone looking to get back to basics in a trendy yet timeless way, unpainted wood cabinets are a great first step.
Supermodel Christie Brinkley, whose kitchen and dining space we've long admired here H&G, is on the natural kitchen trend. She recently posted a photo of her on her Instagram page showing off her spacious kitchen, and we were immediately captivated by her beautiful dark wood cabinets.
Evoking a traditional spirit, yet adaptable to suit more contemporary styles, unpainted cabinets can evoke the natural feel that is a staple of current interior trends such as Organic Modern and Japan Dee. can.
“Wood elements, such as wood cabinets and islands, dressers, kitchen cabinets, and display units, bring warmth, elegance, and luxurious texture to your kitchen space,” says William Durant, owner of Herringbone Kitchens.
According to Durant, the wood's texture and variety of finishes create a highly compatible material that complements most colors.
“Not only does wood grain look great as a visual element, it pairs well with white and cool colors, making it a versatile design element,” says Durant. “It works really well with brass if you want a warmer tone, or you can create a cooler tone if you use chrome or nickel.”
For those who have modern appliances with metal finishes, unpainted wood cabinets can actually be the perfect match.
Wood is also highly durable, making it a cabinet material that can be used for a long time. There are plenty of options, from deep oak to light birch, but we love Brinkley's dark variety, which brings a moody feel to your kitchen space.
“Making wood a prominent element in your kitchen or one-of-a-kind furniture brings elegance and style, resulting in timeless furniture that will stand the test of time,” says Durrant. .
