How to Get the Natural Look for Oak Kitchens
The natural look is a sought-after aesthetic for many homes, particularly those with a traditional or countryside feel. When it comes to oak kitchens, there are many ways to instil your kitchen with the natural look, thus creating a flexible cooking and dining area that is filled with unique personality.
OAK CABINETS
Oak kitchen cabinets are one of the fundamental elements of any kitchen. Not only do they form a robust foundation for the rest of your kitchen components, they exhibit an attractive and distinctive oak grain pattern that provides an excellent basis for a natural-style kitchen. Each cabinet panel is 18mm thick, and made entirely from solid European oak. They are finished with a hard-wearing, natural-looking lacquer, for enhanced protection against stains and scuffs.
LACQUERED FRONTALS
For a kitchen with a truly natural feel, we recommend opting for lacquered cabinet frontals. This is one of our ‘Signature’ finishes, which showcases the beautiful grain pattern of the solid oak beneath and perfectly complements the cabinet carcasses.
PAINTED FRONTALS
If you desire a natural look but would preferred painted frontals, we offer a wide range of colours from Farrow & Ball which are ideal for this style of kitchen. In particular, we recommend neutral or organic shades such as Oxford Stone, Ball Green, Hay, Lichen or Vert De Terre. Our painted frontals are hand-finished, and coated in such a way as to display the characterful grain of the timber beneath the surface.
WOODEN WORKTOPS
No natural kitchen is complete without stunning solid wood worktops – and fortunately we offer a wide range of wooden work surfaces to suit every taste. For a traditional, versatile look, we suggest characterful oak worktops. For a brighter-looking timber, why not try our solid ash worktops?
NATURAL ACCESSORIES
Complete the look of your natural kitchen with botanical accessories. Make a feature of oak floating shelves with potted plants and herbs, and kit out the kitchen with wooden accessories such as wooden chopping boards, oak and wicker storage baskets and our European oak spice rack.
