Natural warmth – wood in the interior of the kitchen

No matter how far and bounds progress is moving, no matter what new high-tech building and finishing materials appear, there will always be a place for natural raw materials in our interiors. In modern designs of kitchen spaces, eco-materials that are safe for people and the environment have become increasingly common. After all, nothing can replace the natural warmth of a real tree. Not only in suburban households, but also within the framework of urban premises, designers around the world use wood for the manufacture of furniture, cladding various surfaces, the production of decorative elements and accessories.

Let’s take a closer look at how you can introduce wood into the modern design of the kitchen space of various stylistic directions.

Of course, the first style that pops up in the memory of any homeowner who is going to renovate the kitchen using wood is country. Various areas of country style are somehow connected with the use of natural materials in the interior of the premises and wood, of course, is at the top of the list of eco-raw materials. Even the ultra-modern design of the kitchen can contain elements of wood trim or furniture and at the same time not lose its progressiveness and manufacturability.

In many kitchen spaces of suburban households, you can see the cladding of wooden panels not only of the floors, but also of the walls and ceiling. With the help of wooden beams, ceilings are constructed, columns are erected, window and door openings are decorated. At the same time, the latest trends in eco-design tend to leave the wood unpainted, in a natural color palette. Thus, the interior becomes closer to nature, to the warmth of the environment.

Wood trim can look modern. For example, this bright kitchen in a classic style with elements of country looks clean and fresh, thanks to the light wood that lined the walls, floor and snow-white kitchen ensemble of storage systems and open shelves.

In this kitchen, light wood panels have been used for wall cladding, a spectacular dark grout matches the countertops and kitchen backsplash. The lower tier of kitchen cabinets is made of the same raw materials as the kitchen finish. The result is a modern room with a contrasting interior.

Wooden ceiling with beams, wood flooring – this design of a country kitchen is no surprise. But in combination with kitchen cabinets and an island made of the same material, the kitchen looks quite rural, bringing the character of country life to literally every piece of furniture.

In this country kitchen, despite the active use of wood of various species, it was possible to preserve the spirit of modernity, modernism.

The total decoration of the small kitchen with wooden panels has created an ideal interior option for suburban home ownership. By painting one of the walls in the color of young foliage, it was possible to create an accent surface, which was repeated in the seats of bar stools, again wooden.

In this snow-white kitchen-dining room with a minimalist design, the walls and floors made of wood are whitewashed beyond recognition of the material. The space is literally filled with light and freshness of snow-white finishes.

There are enough interesting design solutions in this unusual kitchen – not only the use of various types of wood for surface finishing, a contrasting ceiling and hood design, but also the original design of the kitchen island in the form of a counter.

Russian motifs in this eclectic kitchen with pronounced country elements were manifested, first of all, in the decoration of the walls – log masonry became the highlight of the room. The light mint color of kitchen cabinets, the deep blue shade of textiles for windows, the original lighting system – everything works to create an extraordinary interior of a country kitchen.

For small kitchen spaces, the ideal option for decorating surfaces with wood will be light breeds that can visually expand the room. The same effect is facilitated by the use of glass inserts in the doors of kitchen cabinets, mirror and glossy surfaces.

Деревянный потолок с обильным применением балок различной конфигурации, совместно с отделкой камней одной из стен, привнесли кантри-штрихи в современный дизайн этой просторной кухни.

Небольшое помещение кухни нуждалось не только в белоснежных шкафах и бытовой технике, но и в светлой породе древесины для потолочных перекрытий, опор, столешниц и напольного покрытия.

The wooden decoration of the ceiling and floor, window and door openings in this country-style kitchen, sheltered a system of combined cabinets in a painted and natural form. The deep, dark tone of the kitchen furniture has become a contrasting addition to the interior.

Another example of a kitchen in which dark painted cabinets have become a highlight among the total wood finishes of literally all surfaces of the room. The original dining group in beige tones with an unusual chandelier above it complemented the interesting design of the kitchen space.

Wood species in two contrasting shades became the basis for interior decoration in a modern style with elements of country. The rich, deep color of the ceiling seems to hang over the light, airy palette of kitchen cabinets and flooring. Steel, chrome and glossy surfaces bring the spirit of modernity and progress to the interior.

Using a wall painted in a bright color as an accent is a fairly common technique. And what about the cabinet in bright blue color? Among the wood finishes, this piece of furniture looks like the center of focus.

One of the most common uses of natural material is the manufacture of furniture. Modern kitchen interiors are increasingly inclined to imitate natural material, MDF is used for the manufacture of furniture sets, but solid wood does not lose its popularity as a material for furnishing, though more expensive.

The use of the original color of wood in the manufacture of kitchen storage systems allows you to achieve interesting design solutions within the framework of kitchen interiors. Even small rooms, where it is necessary to place, in addition to the kitchen, also a dining room, perfectly accept wood in their stop, it is only important that the finish is predominantly light. In this case, the tree of the kitchen set looks the most advantageous.

In this traditional kitchen, wood is literally everywhere – as a furnishing material, in the flooring and in the design of windows and doors. And for a country room, it will be quite difficult to come up with a better option.

Another example of how you can actively use wood in a modern kitchen interior – even as a print on wallpaper. The dark, brown-gray palette of wood of kitchen cabinets and flooring has become an excellent partner for the metallic luster of household appliances, glass surfaces and modern pendant lamps.

An interesting way to use wood for the manufacture of kitchen furniture can be a combination of painted surfaces and material in its natural form. The woody white palette of the kitchen set was complemented by snow-white countertops and stools, as well as a wooden dining table.

And this is an example of combining different types of wood within the same raw material for the production of kitchen furniture. The original palette of furniture can become the basis of the concept of retro style for both suburban and urban cuisine.

Cabinets made of wood look great against the background of brickwork, repeating some of its shades. The mixture of country and loft styles in one space was the result of the appearance of an original and personalized kitchen interior.

The kitchen ensemble made of light wood includes not only cabinets and drawers themselves, but also an island of the original round shape, and a dining group consisting of a table with a rounded glass top and chairs with wicker seats.

Kitchen cabinets made of unpainted wood look surprisingly harmonious in the interior of a modern-style kitchen. Dark wood has entered into a comfortable alliance with the brilliance of glass and mirror surfaces.

Even a small kitchen in classic power can organically accept a spacious set made of natural wood, without losing a single gram of luxury and comfortable charm.

The contrasting combination of light wood and dark shades of countertops and appliances became the basis of the design concept of this country kitchen. It seems that all available surfaces of the room have been used to accommodate storage systems. The result is an incredibly roomy kitchen set made of wood with original colors.

Kitchen cabinets made of unpainted wood and stone trim are the two pillars of country style, on which many interiors, including modern ones, rest.

Even in a modern kitchen design, a dining group made of wood will look organic, because it itself already makes up a complete ensemble. It is only necessary to choose models of chairs and tables suitable for the style of the interior, as well as take into account color combinatorics.

In this spacious, bright kitchen, not only the kitchen cabinets are made of wood, but also the dining table and chairs, which have been painted light gray to bring a harmonious connection with the shades of stone cladding above the work surfaces.

This original combined dining group made of light wood to match the decoration and kitchen furnishings has become the highlight of this space. The warmth of light wood successfully compensates for the cold shine of the surfaces of household appliances and accessories.

In the slightly decadent country kitchen, in addition to using wood to make cabinets, wall and floor decoration, wood of an unusual shade was used to make the countertop of the kitchen island, which also acts as a dining table. Dark classic chairs made of wood complemented the composition of the dining group.

Another example of a wooden dining area that is surrounded by total wood finishes. The warm, reddish shade of wood became the basis of the kitchen concept for a hunting lodge or a country household.

Wooden bar stools made of light wood around the kitchen island created a harmonious, original ensemble that decorated the bright kitchen, brought an element of lightness.

And this dining area consists of a large table with wooden benches, which is certainly in the spirit of this minimalist kitchen with elements of postmodernism.

Often, country-style kitchen interiors are supplied with rustic elements – deliberately rough finishes, untreated wood, the use of logs instead of columns, hemp as stands or small seats. Such items not only bring some brutality, unbridled to the interior of the kitchen, but also give the atmosphere a more lively, natural appearance.

This kitchen in the style of Mediterranean country, with its dark ceiling beams, arched windows, deliberately aged materials of decoration and furnishings, the use of ceramic tiles in azure tones – everything works to create a unique and cozy atmosphere of the home kitchen-dining room.

Even the ultra-modern design of the kitchen space can adopt a rustic element that looks like it has just been brought from the street. The original design of the dining counter matches the material with the flooring, bringing the warmth of nature to this realm of silver shades of stainless steel.

This wooden extension of the kitchen island was not the only rustic element of this quite traditional cuisine. The base of the island and sliding sliding doors are made of almost raw boards, the same material was used to make open shelves for dishes. As a result, the classic kitchen has become a little rural, filled with great comfort and home warmth.

Cabinets, tables, ceilings and beams are all made of wood. But despite the abundance of wood, the kitchen space looks modern and advanced, thanks to the cement flooring, the shine of stainless steel on household appliances and the kitchen backsplash, the shine of steel chairs and stools.

Another example of how wood trim in its natural form can be successfully integrated into the space of a modern kitchen with shiny, chrome surfaces.

The kitchen island, which looks more like a huge stump with a countertop, original stools, all this, coupled with ubiquitous wooden trim of different shades, creates a unique interior of a country kitchen, which is difficult to forget and difficult to repeat in your own home.
