Cooking may be a passion, but interior design is Magnolia powerhouse Joanna Gaines' true calling, as evidenced by the kitchen on her set used for the Magnolia Table shoot. The flour mill where the show was filmed and built in the late 1800s is part of this ancient history. Exposed stone walls and exposed, unpainted kitchen cabinets give the space a rustic feel, unlike anything you've seen on TV cooking shows.
In a conversation with Architectural Digest, Joanna Gaines said she wanted to create a completely authentic space. “The beams were painted and sanded to show the raw wood,” she says. “I wanted it to have a textured, simple, clean feel.”
The balance between old and new is appealing, but it's the raw kitchen cabinet ideas that really stand out. Unfinished, unpainted cabinets are an aesthetic that is predicted to be at the top of the kitchen trends in 2024.
Although unpainted cabinets have become less popular in recent years, unpainted cabinets can bring warmth and character to a space that can otherwise feel cold and uncomfortable. However, be careful not to overwhelm the space with wood finishes. Consider adding painted elements or contrasting tones and textures to keep the space from looking uniform, like this design by Joanna Gaines.
“Think about how you can use lighting, knobs, and countertops to add interest to your kitchen. This will leave the space with personality while staying true to the core of the Shaker aesthetic of clean lines and flat surfaces.” ” says Georgia Zikas, founder of Georgia Zikas Design.
A traditional kitchen like a mill has no standard template and should be warm, welcoming and filled with traditional elements. Spruce up your look with soft-grain wood kitchen cabinets and oak cabinet kitchen ideas.
Every year brings new “must-have” paint shades for cabinets, and carefully crafted wood cabinets with beautiful grain and depth are a great way to achieve a timeless look. For example, this unfinished wood design has rich aesthetic qualities that are believed to be good for our health.
The use of natural materials has increased significantly since the 2020 pandemic, and its appeal will only increase as unpainted wood becomes firmly established in modern kitchens. Not only do they have cozy properties, but they are also increasingly recognized for their health benefits (reducing the amount of chemically treated items in the home).
