WOOD FINISHES

Keep it raw and go au naturel with natural wood . Regarded as one of the most durable materials , wood is the most obvious choice when it comes to injecting personality and character to a kitchen space , and has been for centuries . Yet somehow , wooden finishes have never quite felt the same as they do today in the modern kitchen . Work with wood ’ s natural hues to achieve maximum effect ; an exposed oak will look timeless and exude the feel of nature whereas lighter timbers will create the perfect canvas for getting creative with colour – great teamed with baby blue or of course trendy green . For a luxe , more traditional feel , and if the budget allows it , opt for walnut ; its rich colour and unique grain structure will look striking however it ’ s used . For the all wood look but without the hefty price tag of oak , birch ply is being used everywhere in interior design at the moment . Great for its subtle beauty and versatility , it works really well if you ’ re trying to achieve a Scandi vibe and has the bonus of being durable .
Whether you ’ re adding a few touches or joining the ‘ all wood everything ’ trend , wood carries a sense of authenticity , a nod to great craftsmanship , is durable , planet friendly and is the perfect canvas to get creative – it basically ticks all the boxes .
