as Summer Roberts Oc, Rachel Bilson was often seen surrounded by luxurious coastal-style interiors featuring bright whites and elaborate decals. However, the actor's current home takes a more minimalist and modern approach to the design.
Bilson shares videos of herself cooking on her Instagram page, and her current setup includes timeless trends in the culinary space that we've seen time and time again. Masu. It is a natural unpainted cabinet.
In addition to being incredibly versatile, unpainted wood kitchen cabinets have a wealth of utility in your kitchen. Deborah Lamberton, general manager of ASAP Restoration, said part of the cabinet's appeal is its materials.
“Natural wood cabinets add subtle but noticeable warmth and character to any kitchen, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that feels like home,” she says. “Wood's natural grain and texture lends it an organic beauty and usually improves the overall look and feel of most spaces.”

Wooden cabinets also fit into a variety of design styles and trends, from modern farmhouse to Japandy. What all these trends have in common is a sensibility to the natural world, and there's no better material than wood.
“Many homeowners are drawn to using natural materials in their home designs, and natural wood cabinetry aligns with this desire for organic elements,” Lamberton points out. “Incorporating wood into your kitchen adds a touch of nature and authenticity, bringing the outdoors indoors and creating a connection to the natural world, free of mosquitoes.”
To make the space around your kitchen cabinets look appealing, try avoiding wooden accessories and finishes elsewhere in the space.
“Incorporating contrasting materials and textures, such as natural wood tones and grain, can create visual appeal,” suggests Lamberton. “Pairing natural wood cabinetry with sleek countertops, metal accents, and textured backsplashes that add depth and dimension to any space is an easy win.”
Lamberton also encourages incorporating color for added vibrancy.
“You can incorporate color and pattern through accessories like rugs, curtains, and decorative accents that coordinate with the wood tones,” she explains. “Bold colors and intricate patterns provide a striking contrast against natural wood cabinetry and can add character and visual appeal to most kitchens.”
