Let’s explore some design ideas for rustic kitchen cabinets – where raw organic materials meets homey comfort. Picture hearty woodgrains, quality craftsmanship, and modern finishes. We’re talking about wood cabinets that can handle a little wear and tear, in fact some organic “imperfections” are welcomed with open arms.
While wood in itself provides a natural rustic flair to any design, there are species that we recommend for those who truly want to embrace a rustic kitchen design.
The Natural Beauty of Knotty Alder: Knotty alder is selected for it’s open and closed knots, pin knots, and mineral streaks. These are considered “imperfections” in some designs, but in rustic kitchens these natural variations look intentional and add much needed character.
The Swirling Grain of Stained Oak: Oak is a versatile material type that has a distinct open grain pattern. While natural honey oak leans quite warm, stained oak can be cool toned, neutral, or a variety of colours.
Quality HDF for Painted Cabinets: For a smooth and long lasting cabinet (that won’t warp or separate) we recommend High Density Fibreboard for all our painted cabinets. Painted cabinets pair well with any stained or natural wood tones, providing a beautiful contrast.
